Out of Africa

Has a magical quality IMO

Groundhog Day - often dismissed as a comedy farce but actually a great film about the human condition. Tomorrow will always come, even if it’s the same as today but all we can do is be the best person we can be.

A few good men.

Groundhog Day is my number 2, the fantastic Bill Murray!

There is loads here that I love but my all time favourite is dances with wolves.

Forrest Gump, the great escape, coming to America.

Dondie I love Groundhog Day too.
Also: Thelma and Louise, Dr Zhivago, The Great Escape, Billy Liar, Inglorious Bastards, 12 Years a Slave.

Iron Jawed Agels

It's an obscure movie about the suffrage movement in the USA, with Hillary Swank as Alice Paul and Frances O'Connor as Lucy Burns.

The Blues Brothers
Hot Fuzz
Shaun of the Dead

Doh. Agels = Angels

Sense and Sensibility (Emma Thompson one),
Notting Hill,

And, umm...

Bring it On

Jurassic Park!

There is a brilliant film called Carnage with Kate Winslet and Jodie Foster in it - one of the best things I've seen, but doesn't immediately spring to mind when talking about favourites! Just remembered it after I'd already posted!

Bridget Jones
Love Actually
Enchanted
Ferris Buellers day off
Top Gun
Sleeping with the Enemy
Shawshank redemption

A lot of my favourites have already been mentioned except Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. Tom Conti at his best. Plus it has David Bowie in it for good measure. The soundtrack by Ryuichi Sakamoto's superb.
