Your best film ever?

I love "Don't Breath", a thriller, "Girl On The Train" and "West Side Story", and "Dear Evan Hanson". Hate "Mama Mia", one of the most annoying musicals ever made.

The Godfather. There began my love affair with Al Pacino. And funny enough on holiday in Sicily about 15 years ago, we found a Godfather coach tour to all the places they filmed! There was a video player which played the relevant scenes- what fun.

My favourite film is Duel, l watched it by myself donkeys years ago when my husband was away on business. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and the ending was so satisfying. Best film ever !

Virgin spring

Jean de Florette and the sequel Manon des Souces, both explore the extremes of human nature.
For pure fun and great music American Graffiti. A young Ron Howard, Harrison Ford and Richard Dreyfuss.

Deliverance is my all time favourite, Duelling Banjos gives me the chills but for a family film it would be The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

The Godfather
Dangerous Liaisons
Atonement
Thelma and Louise

I could say more but I’d say they’re my faves but I know I’ll think of others!

Oh I forgot Pan’s Labyrinth, excellent film, always makes me cry, I think it’s the only one that can

I love Cabaret and another film that takes place in Germany which is in German but comes with English subtitles, The Lives of Others. It has a very memorable final line which has two meanings.

Shadowlands
Love story
The champ

I just can’t decide between them

Thinking about a film that would appeal to a range of ages…The Peanut Butter Falcon.

I don't normally like fantasy fiction but really enjoyed the Golden Compass. I loved the Armoured Bear, Loryk Byrnison (sp)

Dr Zhivago here too ! Saw the very first public screening in London whilst I was working in Lincolns' Inn and living in a little bedsit !! Took my self off and got in ...beautiful film, but what made it so memorable was I was sat next to a middle aged man (never spoke to him) but he was muttering in Russian and actually CRYING from the beginning when the twig taps on the window of the little boy's bedroom ..........it seemed to remind him of his childhood .......I wonder what happened to that man ? Gave me a lifelong ambition to visit Russia ........never had the chance until 2019 having come back from living in Europe for 25 years, after my husband died ...BUT as I had not lived in the UK for six months I could not get insurance ........then I booked for 2020 ....which was cancelled for COVID reasons cross border .....then of course after that any trip to Russia was out of the question and now it looks as if I will never get there ! but I have seen a lot on travel programmes and that will have to suffice !

Local hero all the way. Favourite film ever

I enjoyed Dr. Zhivago, but it’s not one of my favourites. Omar Sharif was gorgeous though!
My favourites would be:
All the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes films
The Titfield Thunderbolt
Ladykillers
Ben Hur
All the Pink Panther films
All the Sean Connery Bond films!
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
Labyrinth
Ghostbusters
The Rock
Forrest Gump
Meet the Parents
The River Wild

Just thought of 2 more:
Zulu
The Italian Job (both films) I love Minis!! ?

My friend and I went to see Dr Zhivago and we had a big surprise as we thought it was a James Bond film, like Dr No!! We enjoyed it but what a shock.

Having been an avid filmgoer for 93 years it is difficult for me to choose. Gone with the wind, Brief Encounter, Jean de Florette, Manon. le Chateau de ma Mere, and many Cary Grant films. The latest remakes are never as good as the originals I am not keen on musicals or horror.

Guess Whose Coming to Dinner;
In the Heat of the Night.
Fabulous casting in both films, but you’d have to go some to beat Hepburn and Tracey.

Calamity Jane and Casablanca equal 1st

The Greatest Showman, just love that film

Three of my favourite tearjerkers:

Ghost
Hachi, a Dog’s Tale
Sophie’s Choice

No matter how many times I’ve seen them, they get me every time ?

Lesley60 The Champ was so sad, that little boys face ? I remember my my mum, my sis and I sharing a box of tissues watching it.

You have reminded me of so many films I’ve loved, such as Brief Encounter, Rebecca, Zulu etc.

Two I really loved in the 80s and then bought on DVD so I could keep watching were Someone to Watch over Me, a romance/ thriller with Mimi Rodgers and Tom Berenger, and Desperately Seeking Susan which I enjoyed for the roles of Rosanna Arquette and Aidan Quinn as romantic leads rather than Madonna who got all the glory. Does anyone else remember either of those?

Oh, must add Witness for the Prosecution. Charles Lawton and Elsa Lanchester and of course Marlene.
