Lol at everyone just listing their favourite films.

We're supposed to be agreeing on ONE we all like.

Any objections to Shawshank Redemption so far?

hullygully · 31/10/2008 11:07

YES. It might as well be called Disney Prison.

PavlovtheWitchesCat · 31/10/2008 11:10

Fifth Element
Blade Runner
Withnail and I
Shawshank Redemption
My Neighbour Totoro

TheRedQueen · 31/10/2008 11:11

I have never seen the Shankshaw Redemption, but would nominate Apollo 13.

PavlovtheWitchesCat · 31/10/2008 11:11

Oh in that case.

I will nominate

WITHNAIL AND I.

ktwooooowooooo · 31/10/2008 11:11

shawshank redemption a good film yes

TheRedQueen · 31/10/2008 11:12

Ooops! I mean Shawshank Redemption!

ktwooooowooooo · 31/10/2008 11:12

i also like phone booth

jujumaman · 31/10/2008 11:26

The point is - do we all agree with godfather 2?

I do. Is a vg film.

But I prefer Goodfellas, And Spinal Tap

JODIEhadababy · 31/10/2008 11:30

I'd go with Shawshank, but no one's mentioned One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, IMO THE best film ever made

ghosty · 31/10/2008 11:34

I agree with Jodie ... that's what I was going to nominate.
Never seen any Godfather films - that sort of film can't be a 'best of all time' type because it is not an 'all rounder' film ... not everyone likes that kind of thing ...
I do think the Shawshank Redemption is fab too though - can't think of anyone who has not liked it.

thumblesswitch · 31/10/2008 11:36

don't get the shawshank redemption thing, never have despite trying 3 times now. So I disagree that it is the best ever.

Godfather 2 is ok but I wouldn't say best ever.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is eminently watchable but scary child catcher

No one has suggested Lethal Weapon or the Full Monty, both of which I think are fab and watch every time they are on, even despite having them both on DVD as well! Would nominate either of those...

JODIEhadababy · 31/10/2008 11:45

Or Life of Brian?

ladymariner · 31/10/2008 12:01

Its A Wonderful Life!!!!

please, please, please!!!!

ladymariner · 31/10/2008 12:02

or

Fried green Tomatoes At The Whistlestop Cafe, totally fabulous!!!!

MmeTussaudsChmberOfChocHobnobs · 31/10/2008 12:05

no to the Shawshank redemption, did not like it.

yes to Wonderful Life and Fried Green Tomatoes

Godfather is awful

No to all Bond

I am a scardy cat, can't watch anything too thrilling. DH was so embarrassed when I had to leave the cinema when we went to see Jurassic Park
