Bladerunner

Rhubarb · 22/02/2007 20:49

Exorcist anyone?

DumbledoresGirl · 22/02/2007 20:50

I slept the whole way through Bladerunner - in the cinema too!

Rhubarb · 22/02/2007 20:52

Arse is a good film too.

sauce · 22/02/2007 20:52

West Side Story

Pavlovthecat · 22/02/2007 20:52

Sorry I know you said one but...its got to be Bambi!

BandofMothers · 22/02/2007 20:58

Can't believe noone has said
BRAVEHEART. . . . . .
Mel Gibson in a Kilt, a beautiful love story and some of the most beautiful music EVER.

Also agree with Fried green tomatoes, Shawshank, And def Butterfly effect. Very wierd, cool and thought provoking.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
It's A Wonderful Life
A Beautiful Mind
Life of Brian
The Dambusters

Pavlovthecat · 22/02/2007 21:00

Bandofmothers - thats cos it is boring after the 10th time of seeing it. I bet everyone has seen it 10 times.

Martians from Outer Space!

BandofMothers · 22/02/2007 21:11

Each to their own pavlov, I found Bambi boring the first, and only, time.

Agree with Life of Brian, but even more so,
The Holy Grail.

Rhubarb · 22/02/2007 21:12

Snakes on a Plane
