Your best film ever?

I love some of these too but my absolute favourite is To Sir with Love with the marvellous Sidney Poitier . I always cry!

Loved him in the Mr Tibbs films too.

Has to be “The Shawshank Redemption “ .

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, this film has everything.

The English Patient or Apocalypse Now

The Rebel with Tony Hancock.

I loved all the old black and white films. Watched every Saturday afternoon with my mum. All the old weepies, loved the strength of Katherine Hepburn and Bette Davis. One of my all time favourites is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

Some like it hot and ‘Stardust’ are my favourites

‘Some Like it Hot’ is on my list too, it was on TV again a few weeks ago and I dropped everything to sit and watch it again, never get tired of it.

I also love Saturday Night Fever, I queued for ages to get into the pictures to see it & have watched it many times since.

White Christmas
High Noon
The Graduate

Wigtown

‘No Way Out’ Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman 1987
Brilliant edge of seat political thriller.

Oooo! I'd forgotten all about that one. It is good isnt it?

The Hours

There are so many
As good as it gets
Scent of a woman
Shadowlands
Dead poets society
I could go on but these are the ones that come to mind as stand outs for me.

Green Mile

‘No Way Out’ Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman 1987
Brilliant edge of seat political thriller.

Out of Africa with out a doubt

Casablanca. Wizard of Oz every Christmas!

Shawshank Redemption every time. Trendy?? Surely not

Mayerling with Omar Sharif

Ryan’s Daughter

Dracula with Claes Bang (if you’ve never seen this, Claes is so gorgeous in it). It was on Netflix ?‍♂️

Dr Zhivago - the minute it starts I cry!

Angels with dirty faces with James Cagney and Pat O'Brien.

Too many to just pick one but The Night of the Hunter isnt around much so I'd probably choose that.
Or,
Notes on a Scandal
The Talented Mr Ripley
The Last Of the Mohicans, the remake is fantastic on a big screen, and the score is a wonderfully rousing. So maybe?.....

Does anyone remember the Gilliam film, Jabberwocky?

I saw it in 1977 and thought it hilarious. I haven't seen it since. I remember the Jabberwock as a giant chicken creature.

‘Where Eagles Dare’ , good plot, great actors and cracking music.

‘Broadsword calling Danny Boy. Come in Danny Boy’

I am a fan of light hearted films, I would like to add the ditsy Doris Day films, Pillow Talk, Please don’t eat the daisies, Move over Darling etc.

Brief encounter, Waterloo Bridge, Casablanca, the Hitchcock movies, The Wizard of Oz. anything with Carrie Grant such as My Girl Friday. Why? Because I love a glimpse into the past as to how people thought and how things were done at the time.
