morning subbie, i really don't like  'humourous' hollywood films, light  romcoms etc.  *spits*

 and i do like  british films,shallow grave,trainspotting, secrets and lies, brilliant stuff, i think.

That's another of my top 10, Jackson.

I've never seen that film, ilwy.  I usually say my favourite is Psycho, though I think I've sickened myself of it through watching it too many times.  Another Hitchcock favourite is Rear Window.

Mine are Gone with the Wind and Ghost, both of which I have seen thousands of times and can still settle down with a cup of hot chocolate and some Galaxy and watch.

Hope Gone with the Wind is on at Christmas!!

Bothat is a big favourite with all my family,and was my dad's favourite film.

My hubby's favourite, still he likes any John Wayne film and has a huge DVD collection of them, even the really early ones.

A couple more of mine would be An Officer and a Gentleman, Dirty Dancing and every Christmas I have to watch It's a wonderful life and have a good cry at the end, it's tradition innit!! Along with watching the Great Escape.

We watched that again last weekend and yesterday, we watched 'Dial M for Murder'. Fab (and we spotted Hitchcock in both of them - love doing that). I'm a real fan of those 'one set' plays and films like the above and 'Sleuth'.

Have you see Rope by Hitchcock?  That was very cleverly done to appear as one single scene shot in real time.

Shadowlands
Casablanca
The Apartment

I have Fabienne and love that one too but I didn't know those facts; just found this one Wiki.

Rope is a 1948 film based on the play Rope (1929) by Patrick Hamilton and adapted by Hume Cronyn (treatment)^[2] and Arthur Laurents, directed by Alfred Hitchcock and produced by Sidney Bernstein and Hitchcock as the first of their Transatlantic Pictures productions. Starring James Stewart, John DallFarley Granger, it is the first of Hitchcock's Technicolor films, and is notable for taking place in real time and being edited so as to appear as a single continuous shot through the use of long takes. and

The original play was said to be inspired by the real-life murder of fourteen-year-old Bobby Franks in 1924 by University of Chicago students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb who simply wanted to prove to themselves that they could commit a murder and get away with it. However, they were both arrested and received long prison terms.

Never knew all that! Makes me want to see it again now.

My hubby's favourite film after all the John Wayne ones, still it is an excellent film and sticks pretty well to the Stephen King short story.

An Affair to Remember *sigh*

It was on Film Four not long ago and I made my hubby watch it (he had never seen it) and I saw tears in his eyes.

And then you have to watch Sleepless in Seattle because Affair to Remember runs as a theme through it

I think it was watching Sleepless in Seatle that made me watch An Affair to Remember.  It was much better - Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr, and the added glamour of dressing for dinner and all that.

I love Cary Grant!

Disco Pigs is my favourite film of all time but hardly anyone's seen/likes it.

Trainspotting, Enduring Love and Me Without You are my other favourites.

I have 2 definite favourites - and I class this by how many times I have watched them & am still not sick of them

1. Heartbreak Ridge
2. G.I. Jane (deffo not a Demi Moore fan )

definately good movies

Got to be 'Railway children' from childhood memories!


More recent:
Aliens!
Shawshank Redemption
          Both Excellent movies!

Adding to my earlier list:

Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2
&
House of Flying Daggers

My favourite film of all time is The Dresser, starring Albert Finney and Tom Courtenay.  Made in 1985-6.  Both up for the Oscar in different categories.  Neither won, which was shameful.  The acting was brilliant from both stars.  They were robbed.

round tower still my fav

love that too,old one n new

some like it hot          and          green mile    my top 2

Grease is my all time favourite. Have seen it hundreds of times and still love it!

Other ones are Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, What's Love got to do with it, The Accused, Escape from Alcatraz, Malcolm X and on the soppy side Footloose, Ghost, Love Actually, Notting Hill

Not my favourite but has anyone ever seen Up in Smoke?  It was out in the late 70s and told the tale of smuggling drugs from Mexico (i think) to USA.

In those days drugs was just leaves (ya right) and they managed to form a whole truck out of the said leaves.
The crack started when someone threw a match near the exhaust and the journey enfolds...................................

I haven't seen that in years!  Cheech and Chong classic film!  They used to do all kinds of stuff based on smoking cannabis, mostly had a cult following and they did comedy albums more than appearing on television.

One of my favourite bits was they heard a knock at the door -
"Who is it?"
"Dave"
"Dave's not here."
"No, this is Dave."
"Dave's not here"

and on and on and on!

Has anyone said Tank Girl yet?
