Great Films you've watched ....

[puppylover]

Right going on a positive offensive.....

I watched Bucket List at the weekend - what a brilliant film. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman at their best....

I cried, I laughed, I was warm and fuzzy and just loved it - expected it to be a bit darker humour than it was, but in a way I think it may have spoilt the film...

Well worth an hour or so of anyone's time IMO.

I also watched Shrooms - which the jury is still out on....

 

[Doddy]

my favourite film has to be Seven!
gripped me like no other pic in the cinema back in 1995 .....

glad you started this thread Pups .... ill be back about 20 times

Well, you can't get much better than Godfathers I and II.

Just recently watched the French films Jean de Florette and its 2nd part, Manon of the Springs, again. Classics!
I first saw them when I was in grade school and still love them both to this day.

 

[puppylover]

I still love Close Encounters of the Third Kind - I soooo wanted to go to Devil's Tower in Wyoming and be abducted.....

I watched 'There will be blood' the other night, very good film 8)

And i also watched recently 'No country for old men' with Javier Bardem, another fantastic film (quite dark) 8)

but my all time fave is The shawshank redemption and dirty dancing

 

[tristanbaldock]

No Country For Old Men was very good. The bad guy is terrifying, like a human Terminator!

 

[Morbyd]

Perhaps a bit controversial choices, because they're very talky films, but I love Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.

Heathers is possibly the best teen angst movie ever.

No Country for Old Men was great. Another good one is The Man Who Wasn't There

 

[Emma_1983]

Too many to think of!

Scarface
Million Dollar Baby
Goodfellas
Casino
Gladiator
Sweeney Todd - scrap that, anything with JD in

Also a soft spot for the chick flicks

Grease
Dirty Dancing
Bridget J
What happens in Vegas - my new surprise good film, was expecting a load of rubbish but was v good

My list also includes

Lady and the Highwayman (very early Hugh Grant cheesy love story set in the English Civil War based on a Barbara Cartland book, need I say more!) Beverly Hills Cop 1, 2 and 3, Back to the Future 1, 2 and 3, Troy, King Arthur, Gladiator (anything a bit historical), The Holiday, Love Actually, Oceans 11, 12 and 13, Trainspotting, Pulp Fiction, The Beach, anything with Samuel L Jackson, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy - Made in America!, Ive got over 300 dvds so I love pretty much anything.

Eric Bana is superb as Mark Brandon Chopper Reid ...... if u havent ever watched the extra bits on this DVD! do so ..... A Day with Chopper when he actually meets him before the making of the movie .... top class!!!

Perhaps a bit controversial choices, because they're very talky films, but I love Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.

Heathers is possibly the best teen angst movie ever.

No Country for Old Men was great. Another good one is The Man Who Wasn't There

I was only introduced to that film about 10 years ago and I loved it!!!
