To ask what your favourite film is.

[KellyElly]

I always think, oh I really want to buy/watch that film and then I forget what it was. Need som good suggestions to update my dvd collection

I loved The Shawshank Redemption and Donnie Darko, but the film I could watch again and again is Napoleon Dynamite. Could probably watch it a couple of times in one day and still love it.

YANBU to want to know.

If your are asking us what our favourite film is then YABU for using AIBU.

I'm not much of Rom Commer but I love eighties films like Working Girl and Baby Boom. Also a big fan of John Hughes oeuvre.

Stand By Me
Withnail and I
The Princess Bride
Anything with Harrison Ford

Black Hawk Down

Never tire of it

And I always get a lump in my throat at the end of Big when Tom Hanks turns into a little boy again and goes home. It's his Mum screaming 'JOOOOSSSHHHHH,' makes me all chokey.

I always wonder how explained his way out of it though!

Who ever mentioned John Cusack thank you, it's reminded me of an old film of his where I fell in love with him, Say Anything is now on my list, I hope I am stirred once again

Amelie

Children on men

Green mile

Children of men i mean

How could I forget The Eighth Day and The Green Mile?

And Lucie Aubrac.

I'll shutup now.I promise.

I like La Reine Margot for the sex and violence and history and stuff in it though the subtitles are a bit of a fag.

It would be like The Borgias de nos jours if only it was made today instead of about 20 years ago.

I'm sure Leslie agrees.

what's that Peter Gabriel song in Say Anything binky? I don't really care too much for the film but I love that song.

I don't know, I haven't watched it in over 20 years, I'm hoping I'll get the DVD for a couple of quid, then if it's shit I haven't lost anything. I fell in live with Cusack because he reminded me of my first love who I just broken up with when i first watched it.
I'm now off to google the soundtrack

The song is 'In Your Eyes'.

Got it 'in your eyes'

I think In Your Eyes is the song in Say Anything.

The best three films ever made are:

1. Jurassic Park
2. Terminator 2
3. Jaws

Enjoy!

Thanks withacherry.

I like Dog Day Afternoon too.

And Shane. 'Shane, Shane, Shane'.

I think he dies in the end. And I bet he shagged Jean Arthur.

The princess bride

Thanks to everyone else for In Your Eyes, even if I can't get the cheesy George Benson one out my head now.

WithACherryOnTop, what was your list like before you narrowed it down?

Lesley, I'm afraid I don't like arty or high-brow films but I'd love to know what your favourites are to see if I've heard of them.

My favourites-

Jaws
The Usual Suspects
The Shawshank Redemption
Evil Dead
The Jerk

I can't believe so many like The Princess Bride, whenever I mention it to anyone they always give me a funny look, as though I've made it up.
