Topic: What is your favourite movies,or good ones watched lately

[Jeannine]

I am currently wading through my huge collection of videos as we need to dispose of them,but it is so hard. I have some real old favourites and was wondering which other folks  would have  a problem parting with.

Crossing Delancy.........feel good movie
My Cousin Vinny.......... hilarious , with a great script
The Turning Point.........good story but wonderful ballet dancing
See How She Runs... Joanne Woodward at her best, forty and takes up jogging, runs in the Boston Marathon,has to make you cry.
Shawshank Redemption, excellent script and  just works
Bill, and the sequel Bill on his own.
In the Name of the Father.

Oh tons more

[Rhubarb Thrasher]

yes A Canterbury Tale. Lovely film. The opening bit where the hawk turns into a spitfire was copied by 2001 A Space Odyssey where the flying bone turns into a spaceship (and copied by Monty Python where the flying bone turns into a spaceship, and then falls back down onto the ape's head)

has anyone chosen The Wizard of Oz yet?

or Withnail and I?

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure?
