Your best film ever?

Too many films on my list to choose from I'm afraid. I have a very eclectic taste in all things: music, films, books, TV, theatre, etc, so I couldn't give one.
Simply due to the fact that I love Tom Hanks, anything of his. Although I'd probably have to say Jaws as it scares me every time I watch it. I was 11 when it came out and my late sister took me and my late mum to see it. I spent half of the film with my head buried in my mum's lap I was so frightened. The music made it even more frightening ?

Calamity Jane with Doris Day

I don’t have 100 friends. Might make up 100 family members ???
I loved paint your wagon with Clint eastward and lee Marvin x

Shawshank Redemption

I enjoyed The Forgoven which I saw last week. Enjoyed might not be the right word though. I often prefer a Bruce Willis type action movie. I also liked Once upon a time in Hollywood. Gone with the Wind. Thelma and Louise. And then I remembered my favourite. Road to Perdition

Chitty chitty bang bang and Pinocchio are my fave childhood films

Day of the jackal
Papillon

There is only one film I watch every time it's on the tv and that's The Railway Children, I don't think I'd find a hundred friends who'd want to watch it with me though.

OMG I saw that when I was sixteen at the Academy cinema on Oxford Street - I walked home through Hyde Park crying buckets!

Trouble is, we all have such different tastes.

Dread to think what I might get invited to.

Mamma Mia!!!

No thank you!

Personally, I like Brief Encounter, but not to everyone’s liking I know.

Me too! but on Abba note, I love Muriel’s Wedding.

My all time favourite is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Loved Trainspotting and Philomena too.

Casablanca, Sin City, and A Lion in Winter.. That's today, tomorrow is another day.

For me and simply because of the memories it gives me from the very beginning .....Star Wars .
That film was a special effects game changer for me and I think it remains a multi-generational favourite. It's also the last film I saw with my mother so always a bit emotional (she died very young shortly after).
I am also a Tom Hanks fan and loved 'Castaway'.

I don't think I could pick just one, but top of my list would be
Mrs Doubfire. I've seen it so many times and still find it hilarious and sad in equal measure. Robin Williams at his best.

Other choices would be
An Affair to Remember (or any Cary Grant film)
Brief Encounter
The Railway Children
Pretty Woman
Little Women
Witness
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

Though I doubt that any of those would appeal to 100 people, if I even had a100 friends!

The English Patient. I cried buckets the first time I saw it.
The Great Escape
Priscilla Queen of The Desert
Rabbit Proof Fence

That's easy My Cousin Vinny . It has everything . Humour, plot, romance . Must be the original edit though or they cut out the funniest scene .

I think I'd have to go for a Julia Roberts double bill, with Sleeping With The Enemy and The Pelican Brief.

Or a double bill (I'm so greedy!) of The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.

Gosh, it's so hard to pick just one (or two ?)

'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' for me, please.

Glad to see a few shout outs for Local Hero..
my all time favourite and I watch it
regularly, just for the escapism to beautiful
Scotland, the magic of the Aurora Borealis
and of course the brilliant soundtrack, even
though my DVD is such poor quality & I
was always disappointed that I never knew if Mac got to return to Scotland.
Another favourite is Baby Boom with Diane
Keaton, which has that really great feel-good
factor. Have to admit the movie I've
probably seen more than any other would be
Top Gun and I can't wait to see Maverick
again as it was just as good, if not better than the first one!

My personal favourite: 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' - I love everything about it, and then I got to sit next to the crew at a screening - I was in absolute heaven.

I am afraid that all my choices would be comedies. I appreciate a good drama but the ones that I keep re-watching are:

Withnail And I, The Big Lebowski, Bringing Up Baby, and The Philadelphia Story. Excellent scripts and brilliant acting in all of them. (And I am also very fond of The Life of Brian!)

But my first choice would always be Some Like It Hot. I have enjoyed it so many times that I think I could recite all the lines along with the actors. It's pure joy.

Very difficult to choose best ever! I loved all these-
Bridge of Spies
Gangs of New York
Remains of the Day
Gladiator
A Beautiful Mind
Master and Commander
A Man for all Seasons
The Sting
Bonnie and Clyde
Lawrence of Arabia
Tom Jones
The Theory of Everything
The Imitation Game
Brief Encounter
....and there may be more??

The Birdcage or Philadelphia

I also love all the 'Men in Black' films.

A couple of oldies The Bridges of Madison County with Clint Eastwood & Meryl Streep 1995 & Same Time Next Year from 1978.

I just went to see The Third Man at the cinema having only seen it on tv before. Brilliant!
