OK, leading on from 'worst film' how about favourite, as opposed to best.  I expect we've done this before but never mind.  I confess my favourite film is probably Star Wars (the original, AKA 'A New Hope').

Star Wars is a superb film.


Jaws has to be up there too.


However my favourite film is 12 Angry men.  The Henry Fonda version.

12 Angry men?   Never heard of it.  I think Pulp Fiction was good, but maybe it's because I fancy Uma Thurman.

People will laugh, but I have to say The Sound of Music. If you don't get a bit choked up when the nuns disable the Nazi's car you must be clinically dead.


Another film I love is Same Time Next Year. It's about a two people who have a one-night stand at a hotel, can't face leaving their partners so decide to meet up for just one weekend a year. Slow moving, but very well-written (got the Best screenplay Oscar) and moving.

Smufy - I love Same Time Next Year too! i saw it years ago when it first came out and was so glad when it won an award. Another film I love from that era is Next Stop Greenwich Village which was adapted from a play. It has a wonderful Neil Simon quality to it. Some of Woody Allen's films from that era are brilliant too, especially Play It Again Sam.

I know! I still have a little tear in my eye when its the mums funeral in Love Actually. Even though I have seen it about 50 times!

Love Actually was tripe in my opinion. It's like Richard Curtis started on a high with Four Weddings, dipped a little with Notting Hill and then took a huge dive!

"Some Kind Of Wonderful" is an excellent film.


I do like some musicals but "Sound of music" is not one of them.


"The Princess Bride" is one of my favourites

Toy Story was the greatest ever children's film in my opinion and the best thing is that the adults love it too! It's got something for everyone.

I have never seen either of the Shreks, do they have happy endings? I hate films with sad or naff endings. And most importantly, does everything end well for the gingerbreadman in the earler post?

Each film ends with a happy ending.

You beat me to it Lemoneye.... I love " The Princess Bride" one of my favs.


I also love "Jean De Florette" and the follow up "Manon Des Sources". Usually sub titled films drive me bonkers... trying to read and follow the plot, but these are great stories and beautifully shot.
