nellyjelly Yay. It's my 'hot chocolate, packet of biscuits and relax' film.

MadBusLady Haven't seen it for ages, I must have a look on Amazon. So glad you reminded me of it.

I'm also a bit that I forgot Rebecca.

Although not on my list Shane is a good film because of the ambiguous ending.
Favourite Scorsese films? The Departed and Hugo.

It's a Wonderful Life
The Fall
Trainspotting
Nothing to Lose

Billy Elliot. GOOOOOOO BillEEEEEEE.

Aliens. I've watched it so many times. Also Rec (Spanish version) it was the first film that made me scream out loud in a long time.

I love horror movies!

Room with a view - blisssss
Dangerous liaisons - great acting
Erin brockovic - "Erin I think we got off on the wrong foot." "thats all you've got lady, two wrong feet and fuckin ugly shoes."
A good year - dreadful schmaltz but I love it
Dirty dancing - never gets old

Priscilla Queen of the Desert
Lorenzo's Oil
Coyote Ugly
Lost Boys
Green Mile

Isn't the crux of the argument here about definition of 'favourite'? Some people are talking about films that are easy to watch, that just make them happy. Others are talking about a 'best' film, something that epitomises what a great film must be like. Given the original question was 'favourite' I think it's reasonable for people to answer either way, no?

Or perhaps no. It's AIBU, what was I thinking.

Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistlestop Cafe ("the most valuable thing in the world is friends")
Erin Brokovich
It's A Wonderful Life
Love Actually
Shawshank Redemption
The Full Monty

If dh was writing his list out not one of the above would feature apart from
Shawshank and Wonderful Life. Doesn't make mine any less "favourite" for me, or either of us to have the better taste or choice. Everyone likes different things, wouldn't do for us to all be the same....

Oooh, how could I have forgotten.....

Thelma and Louise
Toy Story
Muppets Christmas Carol (not Christmas till me and ds have watched this one together)

It's a Wonderful Life
Anchorman
When Harry Met Sally
Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn/Humphry Bogart not Harrison Ford remake)
The Wizard of Oz
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Calamity Jane
Pretty In Pink

Oh and Princess Bride, The Goonies and Casablanca

Rebecca
Goodfellas
Midnight Express
Sleepin Beauty -the cartoon version

The Lost Boys
The Princess Bride
Terminator

Young Guns Blaze ofGlory(ok don't judge me on this one!!)

The man in the iron mask, the count of monte cristo, crazy stupid love, the ugly truth, just go with it.

west side story and carousel

In the name of the father. I cry every single time I watch it and the acting is amazing.

Kick Ass. Many others come close, but that one has the sublime combination of screenplay, soundtrack, humility, humour, violence, justice and awesomeness that's required. Even Nicholas Cage didn't bring it down too much.

I also love the notebook and one say for when I fancy a weepy.

Severn
This Years Love
Nil by Mouth
Star Wars
The Untouchables
Goodfellows
Jason and the Argonaughts (still frightens the Bejesus out of me)
