mossgrove Report post Posted July 5, 2006 The Steve Martin film "All of me" is sheer genius dating from before he went all soppy, and I never get bored with the Blues Brothers. Simon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viper Report post Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) The last snows of spring. It's a foreign film (italian I think) about a boy dying of cancer and his last wish. It is heart breaking Sadly I also like The wizard of Oz. I did the play at school and love to sing along (when Bens in bed) OOhh and Joseph and his amazing technicolour dream coat. Did that play at school too, another one to sing along with. Edited July 5, 2006 by Viper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flora Report post Posted July 5, 2006 I have loads of 'favourites', but I'd like to see again 'Life according to Garp' as I haven't seen it for years and it's fab, and Forest Gump is another one I want to see again. One of the films that made me laugh more than anything but I've now seen it too many times was 'Planes, trains and automobiles' with Steve Martin and whathisname. I like most movies with Tom Hanks and Robin Williams. But I don't have a favourite film as such, there are too many that I've enjoyed. I got a freebie of 'Hideous Kinky' out of a Sunday newspaper a couple of weeks ago, that was quite good but not something I'd particularly watch again. The original Omen movies were good too and The Godfather!!! See it's impossible to pick a favourite, there are sooo many good ones. Lauren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisydot Report post Posted July 5, 2006 I can't remember the last time I watched a movie all the way through. I am so cream crackered by the time I ever actually sit down long enough to watch anything, I doze off and miss the end. Do it every time. Saw the first bit of Pirates of the Carribean the other day, that looked pretty good, fell asleep during the middle bit then saw the end which also looked pretty good.

curra Report post Posted July 5, 2006 I loved Gladiator, Titanic , El Zorro and I also think I liked the Chronicles of Narnia but I'll have to watch it again because DS had a meltdown in the second half... Curra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss Report post Posted July 5, 2006 I loved Narnia too, and the Harry Potters. Enjoyed Shrek 2 Like a couple with Nicolas Cage in, City of Angels and Family Man Loved Ghost, Billy Elliot, Notting Hill, What Lies Beneath, Sixth Sense, Cold Mountain oohhh Jude Law ....can't wait for the new Pirates either Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baddad Report post Posted July 5, 2006 My fave movies would change depending on mood, but I LIKE the early Steve Martins for comedy (The jerk/Man with two brains...) But please take out the 'speeded up' bits . Yes to One flew over the cuckoos nests, and forgot to mention that in fave books too... Breakfast at Tiffany's for AH. I really like 'Gross Pointe Blank' - John Cussack is brilliant but his sisters are even better! (You Do NOT!!!) The whole family are completely nuts, and all the more watchable for it - and 'High Fidelity'... Groundhog day Pulp Fiction/Reservoir dogs To Kill A Mockingbird (again) Whatever happened to baby Jane Music Video - Stop Making Sense (talking heads) BIG SUIT! Oh blige, so many... I've another idea now for another thread, but will wait until this and the books one peter out! L&P BD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flora Report post Posted July 5, 2006 Oh yes, I forgot Ground Hog day. I bought that on ebay for the kids to watch and William laughs so much I hardly no whether I'm laughing at him or the film. Especially love the bits when he kills himself over and over... Lauren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathryn Report post Posted July 6, 2006 I love many of the films already mentioned, like Man with 2 Brains, Groundhog Day and Shawshank Redemption. My all time favourites would have to be those I can watch over and over again and get something new each time. Up there in no particular order are: Truly Madly Deeply - I think Juliet Stevenson is absolutely brilliant. I have to watch it alone - I always cry! Dead Poets' Society Peter's Friends - a film that didn't get much recognition but it's funny and moving and has great performances by Emma Thompson, Kenneth Branagh, Stephen Fry et al. Secrets and Lies Lost in Translation Stand By Me For sheer comedy - Airplane - "Don't call me Shirley" etc. K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hallyscomet Report post Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) Too many to mention Notting Hill , Pretty Woman Titanic & Groundhog Day, especially when she was saying what she really wanted in a life partner and each time he kept going back over and over to be that person she was dreaming Four weddings & a Funeral ###### ###### ###### Prince of Egypt & Lion King just watching my children take them in was beautiful. Sleepless in Seattle Love those mushy films. Chick flicks I think most men call them. Forest Gump Tom Hanks was excellent in that film. Love all Adam Sandlers films especially Mr Deeds & Hot Chick with Rob Schneider where he becomes a female, hilarious & Freaky Friday with Jamie Lee Curtis & Lindsay Lohan love most comedy's H.

curra Report post Posted July 6, 2006 I also love the old war films The Great Escape with Steve McQueen , All Quiet in the Western Front and the "new" ones, Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List. My favorite comedy is on TV: Keeping up Appearances: (it reminds me a lot of a relative ) but I'd love to watch The Pink Panther again (with Peter Sellers and David Niven). James Bond Films: Dr No, From Russia with Love and Goldfinger. I must have seen them 2 or 3 times so I need to include them as my faves too. C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
