OK this is where I confess to being a great big softie . . .

I am currently watching Meet Joe Black, and really enjoying it. I particularly enjoy watching romantic films now, having got past the stage where I felt self conscious or ashamed about it. I have got 'When Harry met Sally' lined up too, and watched 'The Seventh Sign' recently. Also 'Excalibur', as the best King Arthur film I have seen. And Fifty First Dates was another favourite. Plus loads more that I have forgotten.

What do others think of as their favourite films, and why?

Derekthefox :D

Have to cop out if this one - I think most films are just stretched out single episode soap operas. As for period pieces, they are soap operas with grand constumes to hide the lack of meaningful plot.

Bah humbug!

Oh go on then - Apocoplypse Now

My favourite is Cling

Cling who? Eastwood ;D Sorry ;)

I'm with you RC I think most films are over-hyped crap and I hate going to the pics only to watch a film that stinks ;D

Most films my husband watches are rot and I can't be bothered to sit still long enough to see one through. The films most folk think are good I think are shite eg Ghost (apart from Whoopie Goldberg, without whom the film would have deffo been a stinker), Sleepless in Seattle (yuk), and the very worst must be Titanic. That one sent me running up the aisle ;D Anything with Bruce Willis in must a no-see film for me. My oh and I were once on hol and it was pouring with rain so we went to pics and didn't know which one to watch. Phoned niece who recommened Armageddon. I was banging on the door to be let out ;D The little rotter knew I would hate it so she recommended it as a joke :) I must say I do like Westerns and High Noon is my fave and Greg Peck in Big Country. I do love Gregory Peck films - it must be his voice :) I like Clint Eastwood but some of his films are a bit rubbish but I love him in that spag western where he's all legs and understated bravado - the one where he makes tin body armour and puts it under his poncho ;D Love Casablanca too (even though Clint wasn't in it) oh and Now Voyager. Oh I can't stop now so I spose I do like films after all. Aristocats, Bed Knobs and ..... :)

Toy Story - the best kids film I think

Tombstone, with Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday is something definitely in my DVD collection, also like Leon - like the way he loves his plant!
Pulp Fiction because I love John Travolta in it with Samuel L Jackson, the path of the righteous man and all that!

Whoopie Goldberg, Yes! There was a film I cannot recall the name, where she was in hiding, using internet chat to communicate . . . would love to know the name . . .

The Italian job (Michael Cain version) I was fortunate to meet the chap who supplied the vehicles for the film, and remember him saying that he did quite well out of it, owing to the fact that they wrecked most of the cars.

;D ;D ;D ;D

Anything with Cary Grant, Doris Day, David Niven, but also liked Underworld and sorry to say, loved Lord of the Rings! Magic Rounadbout crap though. Lottie ;D

wardy · « **Reply #16 on:** September 02, 2005, 21:48:12 »

David Niven very suave :) I liked him with Gregory Peck in the fantastic film The Guns of Navarone. We wore two videos of that out ;D

I loved Jumpin Jack Flash too, esp when Whoopie got her posh long frock stuck in the shredder ;D

I've got Tombstone too but not as mad on it as the early one - Gun Fight at the OK Corral. Hee hah!

I like the Water Margin films as well. Dead barmy but great fun :)

And the original Italian Job, the mini's in the pipes remember, that was filmed in Coventry, not far from where I lived, we used to play in those sewer pipes (he hehe).

That's interesting Derek. How long were they, and are they still there?

Hate Robin Williams in movies.....BUT..... The World According to Garp I adore! Bugsey Malone is up there also, along with The Yellow Rolls Royce (Ingrid Bergman, Rex Harrison, Shirley MacLaine, Jeanne Foreau, George C. Scott, Omar Sharif, Alain Delon), Ghost Train (Arthur Askey), The VIP (Liz Taylor, Richard Burton), Best Little sleeper House in Texas (Dolly P), Officer and a Gentleman (cos I like a soppy love story once in a while!)
