Mine seem to be mostly 'war' films - I never grew up.

A Bridge Too Far
Dunkirk (original - though will be tempted to see the new one)
Battle of Britain
Zulu
Waterloo
Jarhead
The 300 Spartans (but NOT 300!)
Jason & the Argonauts
Spartacus
Lawrence of Arabia
Porridge
The Italian Job

Most of them have got crap bits in, or have had big chunks 'de-bunked', but if you can suppress your inner anorak......

Shawshank redemption has got to be the best film ever in my opinion. Also, American history x, v for vendetta and cool runnings.

The Holy Grail and Life of Brian are films I could watch again and again Les. Thought of LoB today when i saw some juniper bushes at a garden centre.

Another very good film I've just been reminded of is Kingdom of Heaven. Setting aside the balderdash of Legolas being a blacksmith. The politics of the court of the King of Jerusalem is believable. And it seems to reflect what I've read of the Crusaders - each new wave being bloodthirsty lunatics and the ones who've been settled there a while tempering their outlook and assimilating somewhat.

Plus some good philosophising along the way. The King's wisdom is precocious because his life's span has been accelerated. Military victor at 16. Fatal illness leading to death before 30. Makes a man think I guess.

I'm afraid i have to disagree with the kingdom of heaven shout. Having done one dissertation on the crusades, and being in the process of completing another, I found myself cringing at it and it's inaccuracy. But then again, never trust the judgement of a chap who has chosen to do two dissertations on the subject.

I'm basing my judgement on the book by that Python bloke, so I'll have to bow to your proper reading. Genuine question, (never one to miss an opportunity to learn something about history) what are the key bloopers?

GoodWillHunting

(Matt Damon, Robin Williams, Ben Afleck and Minnie Driver)

One of the few films that you can watch time and time again, as we do, and each time pick up new nuances and profound dialogue.  (Eg missing a one-off sports game because you had just met your future wife for the first time in a bar before the game).

Written by Matt Damon and Ben Aflect when they were both young.  Shows great maturity.  I think that they won an Oscar for it.

Forest Buellers Day Off is a funny off-beat comedy.  A programme about how they made it was itself 90 mins long.

Some of those On The Buses films were not far off the mark,

Some of the things they got up to could have happened in Grimsby/Cleethorpes,

Saw Dunkirk today which obviously is an incredible story as it is but it's been retold in an incredible way with this film. So intense, a real emotional roller coaster.

Forrest Gump is a great film and would definitely be towards the top of my list. Others include, Pulp Fiction, Trainspotting, Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, The Prestige and Jurassic Park (which is a bit of a guilty pleasure). And of course, the Star Wars films.

Too many to mention but just watched "Life of Pi" again on Freeview.

What can you say, brilliant effects that draw you in.

Agreed. I watched this recently with my kids and we all thoroughly enjoyed it, although I think me more so than them.

Just watched Once Upon a Time in America yet again following the death of Ennio Morricone, the theme he wrote for the film is the most haunting piece of music and de Niro is absolutely immense. I never tire of it, the recreation of Brooklyn street scenes in the early part of the century when the gang are all teenage boys is amazing

Quoted from Sien
I like mystical films, films about supernatural manifestations in our lives. I want to especially note that I don't like trash with zombies and so on .. I like movies like "Just Like Heaven", "What Dreams May Come", "The Sixth Sense" It makes you think and find some angel's message for us. I believe in such things)) It is a pity that I have not seen worthwhile films in this genre for the past 7 years.  I can only name the "Insidious" from what has touched me recently. This is a horror movie but the plot was interesting and unusual.


Have you seen the film ‘The Discovery’? Not my cup of tea but from what your saying it could be of interest if you haven’t.

I'm not normally into American comedy but loved "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"

Also a little known American coming of age film with lots of atmosphere that I really enjoyed when I was younger "Summer of 42"

I agree that My cousin Vinny is a very good film.  Funny, lots of twists and clever.

Besides Godfather 1 and 2, my favourite film is Good Will Hunting.  (Matt Damon, Ben Aflect, Robin Williams and Minnie Driver).   Every time I watch it I see something new or different.  Repeat viewings improve the experience.

Goodfellas - is well, good.

On a lighter note, Ferris Buellers Day Off is a funny comedy.
