FAVOURITE FILMS

[ny152]

After starting the thread about favourite driving music the thought struck me :blackeye: about what everyones favourite films might be.

Here's my top 5 to start things off :I

1) You've Got Mail
2) Pulp Fiction
3) Toy Story
4) You Cant Stop The Music
5) Its A Wonderful Life

Also a big fan of Carry On Films, but only the ones that were set in the 60/70's :clown:

And please kiddies remember this is a family site (thats you LnL !!) and whats the betting that a certain person picks SHAFT because of all the pimpin' actoin in it :cool:

[Burple]

hmmm... don;t really have a top 5...
but some of my faves are (in no real order...) :

The Italian Job (Duh - Original obviously!!)
Dogma (and ANYTHING by Kevin Smith! top bloke!)
Fight Club,
American Pie, (all three! This one time... at Band Camp...)
Big Fish,
The Shawshank Redemption,
Carlito's Way,
Leon,
Trainspotting (tho the book was miles better)
Snatch,

Funny that the two of you both picked the original Italian Job. I first saw it years ago (when I owned a Skoda!). Then I saw the new film when it came out and thought it was pretty good. But after watching the two of them back to back there's no comparison - the original is much better.
