BobbyH Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 Seeing as there is a lot of Hot Fuzz in another thread, I thought I would ask…. whats your favourite film or films and why?? I would have to say Hot fuzz or Titanic Hot fuzz because I love the setting, story and cast, and titanic because I love the history and story and conspiracies behind it!

chrisjpainter Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 Jurassic Park is top. As for a top 5, it's sort of TARDIS-like - it includes a lot more than 5 films. Dr Strangelove would be in there, as would Gladiator (extended edition). Tinker, Tailer, Soldier, Spy. Last of the Mohicans, Jaws, Midway maybe? Plus a few I've forgotten...All depends when you happen to ask me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnphilip Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 (edited) The last of the Mohicans, and perhaps the best theme tune for a movie " the Geal " written by Dougie MacLean next film Dances with Wolves. Edited May 30 by johnphilip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Boggy Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 8 hours ago, Miserableolgit said: Battle of Britain [1969] My pal and I went to the filming at Hawkinge aerodrome and were offered jobs as extras at £2 per day. However, we were told to come back the next day with our hairs cut. That was too much of a sacrifice for two twenty one year olds so didn’t return. We did watch a lot of the filming and I remember watching who I now know as Ian McShane (Lovejoy) as he was as short as me. Also saw Kenneth More and was taken by the bright blue eyes of Susanna York when she walked towards the camera in one scene. There were other famous actors, Michael Caine etc. it was interesting to see the ‘effects’ of a burning plane made from plywood. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 I haven't really watched that many films as I start getting bored half way through but me and my wife went to see the first Jaws at the cinema and we really enjoyed it , a few years later we went to see Titanic and again very enjoyable , haven't been to the ( flicks ) cinema since the first showing of Titanic.

PeterHenry Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 I agree with 'Lawrence of Arabia' and 'Dr Strangelove' as contenders. I'd also add 'Ice Cold in Alex' and 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 Some excellent choices already. I would have to go for "Once upon a time in America". De Niro was never better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobba Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 My selection are both documentaries and most probably because I saw them filmed in IMAX which really added to the atmosphere. Ghosts of the Abyss (2003) Using Russian deep submersibles and mini cameras on umbilical cables to penetrate the wreck. Some amazing footage. Everest (1998) filmed in 1996 at the time when another group of climbers became trapped near the summit by a blizzard. Eight died. Some memorable moments.

7daysinaweek Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 Goodfellas A bronx tale Repo man Dead mans shoes The hangover Shawshank Darkstar (Scifi 1974) La Cabina (1972 short film. The original stuck in phonebox movie. A true masterpiece of humor, intrigue, apathy and hopelessness.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
