Mine is The Talented Mr Ripley - I love it.

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

Anyone else do this?

Surely one doesn't need to actually watch Flash Gordon?

Flash! aah aah
“Flash, I love you! But we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!”
"Gordon's alive!"

Casino, every time. I think Sharon Stone is fabulous in it.
Oh, Capricorn One is on ITVX!
Edited to add: Homeward Bound. I cry every time - no spoiler.

It would depend on who I was telling. If I wanted to look chic, I'd say one of the Hitcock classics, like Rear Window or North By Northwest.
In reality though it's most definitely Crocodile Dundee 1 AND 2 🤣💥

The Nice Guys: Ryan Gosling, Russell Crowe and an excellent Angourie Rice in a film that seems get overlooked unfairly.
Also Grosse Point Blank is irresistible.
