Final Cut with Ray Winstone, was mid 90s I think, left the cinema in total awe.

American Beauty is a good choice

Moulin Rouge - and I'm not even sure if I have spelt that right! But I do love it - it is my first choice to watch when DH is out for the evening and I can sing along with nobody knowing!

Gone With The Wind. Have loved it since I first saw it age 7 or so. Just hearing the opening theme gives me goosebumps.

Gone with the wind is also one of my favourites but I found the book was so much better than the film - if you ever get the chance you must read the book.

Snooks14, have read the book a few times and you're totally spot on. I think it's the most gripping novel I've ever read, I couldn't put it down! And once you've read it you realise how very well cast the film was. I mean, Clark Gable is Rhett Butler.
