Favourite Films

[G.U.R]

Can't do it in three

Shawshank is number 1, but then it gets difficult.

A few others are -Twelve Monkey's, A Bridge too Far, Sucker Punch, Snatch, Day after tomorrow, Money Ball....could go on and on oh and Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I raise you Top Gun and Days of Thunder. When tom cruise was good!!

acceptable

Good films but wooden acting

Rain Man and Jerry Maguire were his two better acting films and even in those he was out acted ( Dustin Hoffman and Cuba Coding )

 

[Deleted member 15344]

His best was probably A Few Good Men. But what a cast off actors that was.

Even in that film Nicholsons cameo made the film

Yeah but what was that all about casting tom cruise as Jack reacher. I have my thoughts about it, but picking him stunk

The 39 Steps (1935)

That would be in my top three, in fact it was the last time we did this thread. Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll were superb. She was the highest paid actress in the world at one time, and a real stunner.

Agree with Casablanca, but never been a fan of It's a wonderful Life. Too sickly sweet for me, and not a great fan of James Stewart for some reason. I think we are showing our age though Mashie with our choices. Might find a place for The French Connection as well.

 

[Pin-seeker]

I've got Django unchained to watch tonight,expecting big things.

I know what you mean about It's a Wonderful Life but the thing is every time I watch it I blub and I love the way it celebrates the little guy who does big things but is too humble to actually realise it.

Also I do like Jimmy Stewart. Genuine guy, great actor and so many great films; Destry Rides Again, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Vertigo, Rear Window, The Philadelphia Story, etc. Interview with Parkinson from the 1970s was recently on one of the Sky Arts channels - brilliant. I think one of the reasons I like Kuchar is that he reminds me of him. Closest nowadays I guess is Tom Hanks. Also a great actor.

As for showing our age - well they just don't make 'em like they used to, do they .

Rich one of my other favourites is, To Catch A Thief. God was Grace Kelly fit!!

[Hobbit]

Favourite films is a tough one - depends what mood I'm in.

Xmas time I'll watch It's a Wonderful Life followed by the original Miracle on 34th Street.

For a relatively modern slapstick, the first in the Home Alone series. I cry with laughter through large chunks of it.

But if I had to pick one film to take onto the Desert Island... Mary Poppins

 

[LanDog]

My love for Lord of the Rings knows no bounds, so they would take up the 3 spots.

But when it comes to 'regular' films I'd go for

American Beauty
The Usual Suspects
In Bruges
