The film would have to be National Lampoon's Vacation. According to my darling family, I am just like the main character, Clark W. Griswald, in that I plan our holidays & routes meticulously. The plans don't always work out either. And just like the family in the film, we've even turned up to a theme park to find it empty! We were literally the only people there for the first hour or so!

Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Great story and history, wonderful haunting music and a brilliant cast
Who could ask for more

Always loved Kellys Heros

Invictus really inspired me, I was a great admirer of Nelson Mandela, and still can hardly believe that he was not bitter about his inhumane treament at Robben Island
He did so much to preach tolerance for all colours and religions, and this film really shows how sport helped bridge the wide gulf between nations, and how crass and stupid racial prejudice is.
It's not a morally preachy sort of film at all, it's full of humour, action, football, tears and laughter, and as many of my friends seem to have missed seeing it in mainstream cinemas, I would love to see it again with them, and throw a party afterwards to toast such a great man's memory.

Lord of the Rings trilogy (extended edition) Loved it on my 28" telly but would be fantastic to see it on the big screen. I'd need some very comfy seating for that marathon ....... and maybe a commode too

The Sound of music - we could singalong at home without embarrassment.

tracyliz Thu 16-Apr-15 09:52:30

The FULL MONTY .... because it always cheers us up and it might put a rocket under the old fellow who's just lately become a bit mellow !!

ravensinead Thu 16-Apr-15 10:30:04

The South Park Film because so many years on it still manages to make me laugh!

petra81 Thu 16-Apr-15 11:09:33

I would screen The Goonies. It has been a firm family favourite through 3 generations for many many years and we still all get together to watch it when its on TV! HEY YOUUUU GUYYYYYS! Love it !

Bambi - so that I could blub unnoticed. Unlike my first viewing of this classic at the cinema when the lights went up to reveal a whole row of children from my primary class sitting in front of me as they were on a birthday outing. They were astinished to see the tears coursing down my cheeks. After all, I was their teacher!

Rosannie Thu 16-Apr-15 13:11:12

I would screen Moulin Rouge for it's escapism, humour, fabulous music, costumes and Ewan MacGregor! I could watch it everyday and never get tired of it.

Rainbowwitch Thu 16-Apr-15 15:06:43

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, my all time favourite film and the whole audience can sing along to the songs
