Goodfellas for me by a mile:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Arthur Little]

Well ... being an old romantic at heart, :love: I've singled out two American movies - both made in the 1990s - "Sleepless in Seattle" and "The Bridges of Madison County" ... each of which ... with its nail-biting climax ... kept me on the edge of my seat!

[raynaputi]

yes Arthur, Sleepless in Seattle is one of my fave movies too! I love Meg Ryan-Tom Hanks movies! :heartshape1:

[rani]

the notebook and bridges of madison country... anything romantic and light :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Alan]

The Green Mile and Life of Brian!

Al.:)

[rusty]

The Green Mile and Life of Brian!

Al.:)

Excellent choice :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Also Shawshank Redemption and The Breakfast Club

[RickyR]

What a tough one. At the moment, 'Lucky Number Slevin', because Lucy Liu in it reminds me of my missus. Some uncanny similarities haha. And it's just a good film.

The film that completed stunned me, 'Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'. Sat and watched this film in the mess with a group of rough tough sailors, after it finished, we all left in silence and never mentioned the film again!


Other good ones
American Beauty - Pyschological
Taken - Absolutely amazing film
Man On Fire - Denzel Washington, top film.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Another good head screwing film.
Top Gun A true classic

[Terpe]

There are lots of films I can watch multiple times, but here are a few:-

It's A Wonderful Life (1946)
(James Stewart & Donna Reed)

Groundhog Day (1993)
(Bill Murray & Andie MacDowell)

Sleepless In Seattle (1993)
(Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan)

All Marx Brothers films
(just very funny)

[RickyR]

Sleepless in Seattle is a great film. It's great seeing Seattle too, one of the best cities in the US of A!

[RickyR]

[malditako]

lord of the ring, twilight, the notebook, how to loose a guy in ten days and kevin and perry...

[JimOttley]

Very very hard question I think as you get older it is harder to specify a single specific favourite, for me the closest I could get to that would be Contact (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118884/)

Other faves -

The Fifth Element (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119116/) this was just a great funny sci-fi action movie.

It's a wonderful life (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038650/) close second for my all time favourite and some days my absolute fav.

Lord of the Rings

Groundhog Day

Probably too many faves to mention.

[RickyR]

If you like Gran Torino, 'Harry Brown' with Michael Caine is along the same lines, and is a really great film.

[laurel]

Hi Ricky.................yeah got Harry Brown , excellent very gritty and probably not too far from the truth

[Terpe]

If you like Gran Torino, 'Harry Brown' with Michael Caine is along the same lines, and is a really great film.

I also enjoyed 'Harry Brown'
Not quite a fav, but an excellent film. Good you reminded me of that.

[Arthur Little]

Went to see the latest version (1997) of the *film 'Titanic' - twice in the same week, would you believe!? :rolleyes: Not so much for the "story" ... since - many years earlier - I'd read about the sinking of this magnificent [looking] ocean-going liner ... but more because of the marvellous re-creation of the vessel's interior on the *set.

[nigel]

as for sad films 'pay it forward' and 'what dreams may come'


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pHCtLzmras

Jim, Williams goes to hell to be with his wife, a journey that you'll probably understand :cwm24:

[JimOttley]

Indeed Joe !

I had forgotten that one I loved that film too, I know a lot of people might find "What dreams may come" to be very odd, but Williams was great in that!

Now that you mention him another of my favourites was Bicentennial Man, that was also a real tear jerker, Williams was great as the robot Andrew, the film was inspired by the Isaac Asimov robot stories.

[joebloggs]

Indeed Joe !

:xxgrinning--00xx3: i think we might have been on the same coach journey Jim, but i got off a few stop earlier:D , i hope things work out for you all, i know it seems like it's never ending, but every day gone is one day nearer to you all been together :rolleyes:

[JimOttley]

[JimOttley]

To be honest I've watched it so many many times, but ....... still feel my eyes getting moist. :doh

I have watched it so many times as well and it never loses its magic!

Saw it on the big screen at the GFT (Gasgow Film Theatre) in the mid 80's, but I had watched on TV so many times as a child, bought the DVD about 8 or 10 years ago I think.

Sadly I tried to get Ana to watch it with me but she got bored because it was in black and white :D

Ah well maybe when she's in her 40's I'll get her to appreciate it :) only a few years to go :)

James Stewart was just such a great actor, an all time great!!

what your favorite scene from a movie

mine would be from Jaws

When Hooper and Quint are comparing their scars

[les_taxi]

When Saturday comes:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[somebody]

Some of it filmed up the road from where the Missus was born

Strange to watch a film which as a kid seemed like a foreign world to find soon it was to be part of your life..
