What is your favourite movie

Recommended Posts

We watched it on DVD last week (region 1 USA import, works out cheaper than all going to the pictures) and thought it was excellent. Weird seeing the Fonz as a very old man.

me and steve went to see a film called adrift,god was it boring,about 6 mates who get stuck in water for the whole film after they dive off a yacht and they havent got a ladder to get back up,few of them die,ive never been so bored in my life.

0 out of 5,the only good thing about going was the massive bag of revels i ate while watching it :lol:

Saw "The History Boys" earlier in the week, kind of Dead Poets' Society meets Goodbye Mr. Chips, but much deeper than either. Funny and moving - I cried and I don't often cry in films.

 

Watched Vera Drake on DVD last night - also excellent. I think Mike Leigh is a superb director and got the 1950 period just right. (not that I was around then :rolleyes: )

Mine would have to be 'Click' with Adam Sandler

Would have to give it 4 out of 5 :)

My daughter and I watched this at the movies a couple of months ago and loved it. Were pleasantly amazed.

 

My son watched it yesterday and he said he cried, my 19 year old son. :wub: I remember now my daughter and I cried too, but, I was shocked to hear my sons comments.

 

He certainly got me from the left. A lot of people find Adam Sandler a bit annoying, but this film is different.

I got Vera Drake as a birthday present couple of years ago.......excellant film but a STRANGE present to get from your hubby. He also got me Enduring Love which I love, its possibly my alltime favourite favourite book (Ian McEwan) as well as a lovely film :wub: . I'm hoping The History Boys is still on at our local cinema.

I watched Chocolat recently on dvd....hadn't appealed to me when it first came out, then my Johnny Depp obsession kicked in and I bought it. Really loved it.......of course, had nothing to do with JD looking absolutely beautiful :ph34r::whistle: Heck, what more could a woman want..... a story about strong women, chocolate and JD.....heaven :wub::wub:

 

 

I know, I know......he's done it before, but he didn't do it for me as Willy Wonka :lol::lol:

Anyone know if Snowcake is still at the cinemas??? Tried googlin' - can't find anything :(

 

Da Vinci Code was OK - not as good as the book tho :)

Hiya smiler!

it was only on in a few cinemas - a bit 'art house' for yer average odeon, apparently...

 

Good news - out on DVD in January - so not too long to wait. I suspect as well it might be a film that suits the intimacy of the small screen better anyway.. Ms Weaver and Mr Rickman deserve better than some TPWS scrunching popcorn behind you IMHO :thumbs:

Haven't watched many recent films recently(?) but did re-view Gross Point Blanke a while ago starring all of those lovely Cussacks AND Dan Ackroyd. Great Movie. Great acting. Great soundtrack ('Blister'!). I would watch the Cussacks eating Sunday lunch - all barking, all brilliant!

 

L&P

 

BD :D

I really like 'Grosse Point Blank' ( like most John Cusack's films ) and had watched it again just before I went to my 20year school reunion, and was just waiting for someone to ask 'and what do you do....?'

No-one did !! It was all 'how many kids have you got?' and 'where do you live?' :rolleyes::blink:

I did have to go up to one chap and say ' Aren't you my window cleaner ?' ( he was :lol: ) my mate then asked me to go ask him if he could be her window cleaner too :unsure::unsure:

 

Anyway, my favourite film has to be 'Blade Runner' (had to just retype that as it came out as 'Balde Runner' :lol: ) which conjures up totally the wrong image !!

Got to say it has to be Amelie for me. Although I could have a different answer any minute. The Hill or Cinema Paradiso. Shaun of the Dead....can't stop watching that for now.

I watched Monster on TV the other night only because I was curious to see why Charlize Theron won her Oscar. I would not normally have watched a film like this - I don't go much for sex n' violence, but I was utterly absorbed, to my surprise. A very intelligent film about what leads someone to become a killer, without offering neat answers. very moving too, all the more so because based on a true story.
