Mine is The Talented Mr Ripley - I love it.

Hate To think how many late nights I've had due to that film.

Just cannot rewatch films or reread books. There are so many out there I haven’t seen/read.
Very rarely I will watch a film from years and years ago which made a big impression on me but that’s it.
