What's your favourite film?

[Ferengo]

Am bored at work and thought this may be fun plus I might be reminded of some films I;ve forgotten about. May be it's been done before but list your fav film or a few and say a bit about it like so:

Die Hard:1988

John McClane visits his wife (Whom they are sort of seperated) at her office christmas party only to have 12 terrorists seize control of them and the building. Out numbered, out gunned and shoeless, McClane must stop them by any means possible. Explossive to the end and totally a non stop action movie.

Just bought this on Blu-ray and it's a rocking film :thumbs up:.

Who's next?

[doogz__]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Jonny Depp and Benicio Del Toro do all sorts of drugs, and generally get messed up. TBH that's pretty much it

[AndyP & Lenore]

Fargo. (1996). Dir: The Coen Brothers.

The Coen Brothers at their very best. Set in winter in North Dakota, Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) arranges for two bungling would-be kidnappers to kidnap his wife and demand a ransom from his wife's rich father.

The whole film is steeped in Coen Bros traits, from the ludicrous character names (Wade Gustafson, Carl Showalter, Gaear Grimsrud, etc.,) to plot strings that all weave together in a seamless fashion. The acting is superb, the script is faultless and the whole film will leave you rolling on the floor with laughter.

Double Oscar winner too, for Frances McDormand (leading actress) and The Coen's for the script.

Oh, and Lenore hates it.:frown:

A.:D

Very hard decision here. I thought about this long and hard and my final decision is based on a film that I can watch over and over again, not just a one time classic.

PULP FICTION.

So many bits to it and I have watched this about 20 times.

[Ferengo]

Yup I think I have made this very hard for myself too as thinking on it now there are so many good movies...

[Gismo]

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest :thumbs up:

Good choice:thumbs up:

[camjay]

Some Like It Hot - 1950's back and white starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemon and Marilyn Monroe.

Sorry this is cheating - more recently I really like 300 - I wonder why??

[euan]

Hmm, tricky. Am I allowed a short and decide later?

It would be one from:
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Grosse Point Blank
Star Wars

I ruled out Bullitt as the car chase is really the only reason I watch it and the plot doesn't really make sense. Same for Ronin (though that does have a plot).

[GCA3N]

Thought the italian job might have been mensioned by now:rolleyes:

lol i was just away to put that, have to think of something els now.

[Scottie]

can we have a fav movie from each decade??

the movie I've most watched is Apollo 13 but then I think Jerry Maguire

[Ally S]

Just watched Star Wars Episode 4 - amazing to think it was released in 1977. I'm sure everyone knows the story :popcorn:

Goes something like...
You are part of a Rebel Alliance and a traitor
These aren't the droids your looking for
Greedo shoots first
Its time to demonstrate the full power of this battle station
You came in that thing? your braver than i thought

... gees i've see that film too many times

[Andrew]

Get Carter.

Michael Caine returns to his home town of Newcastle to investigate/seek revenge for his brothers murder.

[Craig]

Everyone likes a bit of cheese though - I love Nicholas Cage films for that (the Rock - classic!) They have their place as much as the purist favourite film in my book.

[baptie]

Still Crazy : Rock band come back from the brink to make it big, Billy Connolly as roady, all star cast, love it

Yeah I think that is better. One from each decade starting from 1950? Maybe even edit the first page and start one for every year and see which is most popular?

1959: Ben Hur
1967: Cool Hand Luke (Never try the egg thing, even with creme eggs as it'll end badly... :Whistle:)
1979: Alien
1980's: The best decade for films, So many I can't choose one. Die Hard, Ghostbusters, Aliens, The Last starfighter... the list goes on.
1999: Fight Club
2001: Super Troopers (I highly recommend this)

I have no idea how to embed youtube videos in forums. EDIT: Sorted. AndyP;).

[zimbo]

Grant that is a bit of a dodgey clip of top gun there mate... :frown: that music is just WRONG!! :hand: (Brokeback mountain has no place being in the same category as TG)

[Ferengo]

I always thought there was something going on between Iceman and Maverick :p.

[Bumble]

mmm.... depends on my mood; currently Leon :)

[baptie]

If Topgun came out now, Jonathan Ross would think it was a gay fighter pilot film where Tom Cruise struggled to come out after the loss of his life partner

[baptie]

Brokeback damaged me!!!

Went to lakes with wife and took a handful of dvd's, log cabin, peaceful.......nope! ::moonie:

[camjay]

This is a bit :off topic: but has anyone else seen the film "Naked Lunch"? I think its a David Cronenberg film - its the freakiest load of nonsense I've ever seen. I've heard it described as genius, but I think it's the biggest load of cack I've ever sat through (til the end, may I add)!! Utter mince :moonie:

Ps I couldn't even begin to tell you what it's about because I have no idea!

[eddie 44]

the great escape

[Stewart]

Layer Cake, Twin Town, Restless Natives, Local Hero, The Italian Job, Any James Bond, LOTR, The Original Star Wars Trilogy, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Like some of the old Moves, Kelly’s Hero’s, Where Eagles Dare, Bullitt and embarrassingly – Some Like It Hot….but most recent I’ve really enjoyed all the The Bourne Identity etc trilogy….

Hard to have a fav:D
