So... wink

I will never forget:-
Jo Jo Rabbit
Hubby and I went to the movies last year to watch "Jo Jo Rabbit" - As it ended we all stood and began dancing, and snapping our fingers (you have to see the movie to understand) not a dry eye in the house.

Wish I could forget "Erasurehead"

Many that I remember, but one that's on BBC1 today.
In the Heat of the Night. Rod Steiger and Sidney Poitier.
Brilliant about the racial problems in S. USA.
And brilliant acting.

oh yes Fennel- what a brilliant film.

Will always have a special place in my heart for the first English film I ever saw- very moving- and I was so pleased to see the main actress on TV the other day, Rita Tushingham- A Taste of Honey.

The first TV series I absolutely loved- and would lvoe to see again- was 'Rock Folies' - do you remember?

Yes; I remember that. Also Take Three Girls....

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls - one of those films that's so bad it's good. We saw it fairly often in our youth and most of the audience knew it so well that the best lines would be shouted out.

Impactful films:
I, Daniel Blake
The Killing Fields
Hotel Rwanda
Cathy Come Home
Schindler's List

Some film favourites:
Local Hero (I'm rather surprised this doesn't feature on anyone else's list.)
The Bridges of Madison County (The calibre of acting is superb.)
Madam X (I watched this when I was in my early teens and wept buckets.)

Funny Films:
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
What's up, Doc?

Ones to miss:
The English Patient (Sorry fans, I just never got it.)
Titanic (My daughter saw this when she was pregnant and commented that, despite spending twenty minutes in the loo, she missed nothing.)
Any Horror Film (There's enough horror in the world without me seeking it out.)
