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

Some like it hot
Thelma & Louise
Dirty dancing if I'm honest!
Before sunrise
Muriels wedding
Sideways
Sophie's choice

Goodfellas

very closely followed by Some Like it Hot, When Harry Met Sally, Dangerous Liaisons, E.T., The Lost Boys, Rainman, Carlito's Way, Casino and The Muppet Movie

forgot Muriels Wedding and The Departed

Strictly Ballroom
Jaws
The Apartment

and how could i forget Leaving Las Vegas i feel drained after watching it. I also really like LA Confidential and Chinatown, i know i shouldn't but he is a great director damn

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
It's a Wonderful Life (must watch at Christmas)
Rear Window (love James Stewart)
Lust Caution (just beautiful)
Juno
High Fidelity
Toy Story 3
12 Angry Men
The Princess Bride
Shawshank Redemption

Oooo, forgot Groundhog Day

I have been made to watch '10 Things I Hate About You' seven times over the last two weeks. On one day, DD had it on three times. So if you're looking for something to watch with an eleven year old girl, I'd suggest that. It is better than most tween films.

I am really not a fan of horror, but I saw the Cabin in the Woods recently and it has some clever plot twists.

Maybe that is a good way to find films. Get people to suggest films they liked from genres they don't like!

I really like Postcards From the Edge. It is very funny and quotable.

... And Bridges of Maddison County... Oh I really really love that

how could i forget Bridges of Madison County and Midnight Cowboy

Heat and Dog Day Afternoon are fantastic films too. Dog Day is so underrated i think pacino at his best

I have never understood why people like Dirty Dancing. It is a romance with an abortion with complications subplot. The two topics do not go together well.

Leon
Pretty in Pink
Singing in The Rain
The Last Picture Show
Bugsy Malone
Love Actually
Pan's Labyrinth
Kiss Me Kate
The Wizard of Oz

Rocky Horror Picture Show.

It is not clear if Shane is dead. Though he is clearly injured.

Yes yes to Westerns.
saturday night fever
Godfather
Apocalypse Now
Rear Window
39 Steps
Goodbye Mr Chips
Its a wonderful life. i too love J Stewart.
Taxi Driver
Jaws
To kill a mockingbird
Dangerous Liasons

Tons more if thought about it. Thing is I would be really interested in Lesley's films. There are some great films that are not obviously 'arty' but are clearly great genre films or fine examples of commercial film making. jaws for instance is a brilliant bit of film making.

The Graduate.

Little miss sunshine.

Dead Poets Society
Dirty Dancing
10 Things I Hate About You
My Big Fat Greek Wedding

classy me

I'm with squoosh for this: Oh and I love The 39 Steps an The Lady Vanishes.

Oh, and Goodbye Mr Chips. That's a good one for a blub.

Love, love Robert Donat

More or less anything with Katharine Hepburn. ( Especially The Philadelphia Story )

Ditto Humphrey Bogart.

Witness - mostly just for the sequence when they build the barn.

A Man for all Seasons because Paul Scofield is superb and I loved him.

And Local Hero, Whisky Galore and I Know Where I'm Going ( which nobody I know has ever heard of).

Leon
Jack and Sarah
Good Will Hunting

The Goonies is a close second

Ha ha Leslie, are you me?

FWIW my favourite films are:

Vertigo (was delighted when it was voted the best film of all time recently) - I LOVE that film, could (and have) watch it again and again!

Fanny & Alexander (a TV series really but also been cut to a film by Bergman)

The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Tous Les Matins du Monde

Sense and Sensibility (Ang Lee)

Some Like It Hot

The Apartment

Kill Bill

Ooh and Forrest Gump - I'm a sobbing wreck from when Jenny dies right to the end.

As Good As It Gets (You make me want to be a better man).
Apollo 13
It's a Wonderful Life (Love James Stewart)
The Apartment (love Jack Lemmon)
An Affair to Remember (Love Cary Grant)
Love Actually
Midnight Cowboy
Thomas Crown Affair (Rene Russo SO hot in that)

Loads of good films on here
