The Departed

Surprised it's not been mentioned already, a Scorcesse classic and one of, if not his best.

So many class films from this guy

Taxi Driver
Goodfellas
Casino
Cape Fear
Gangs of New York

Scorsese's version of ''The Departed'' was awful. The original Hong Kong version was miles better.

 

[Hobbit]

Thought it'd be Lord of the Rings for you surely

Was tempted to say book 1 of Lord of the Rings...

Awful? That Awful it won an Oscar although I'd agree the Hong Kong version was superb too.

 

[Hooper]

High School Musical?

What is this High School Musical you talk of?

 

[Dorian]

Awful? That Awful it won an Oscar although I'd agree the Hong Kong version was superb too.

Although I really liked the hollywood version I don't think an Oscar proves anything. Sometimes the people judging the Oscars have less taste than pilau rice.

 

[Iaing]

The Great Escape.

Nearly that time of the year again! :thup:

 

[JPH]

Blues Brothers
Outlaw Josey Wales
Goodfellas
Saving Private Ryan

or from a different genre, Saving Ryans Privates.

I believe it's Shaving

 

[macca64]

[wrighty1874]

Watched that again last night, mainly for the performance of Christoph Waltz,the opening chapter being my favourite scenes. Discovered he was in An Ordinary Decent Criminal,and have been looking for it everywhere.

Good choices so far!
For me it would be inglorious basterds - Christopher waltz is mesmerising.
Closely followed by the raid wasn't entirely ready for that but wow!
Bit older and it'd have to be anchorman.
Not sure what these choices say about me.......

 

[wrighty1874]

i'm a bit of a film fanatic and have several favourites such as :
One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest
Dirty Harry
Pulp Fiction
Rise of the Footsoldier
The Business
Gangster No 1
Deerhunter
Casino
Once Upon a Time in America
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. but if I'm only allowed one and a gun at my head,it would have to be Cool Hand Luke,which I watched again yesterday afternoon.

So a bloke down the pub told you..... Honest dear!

One instance springs to mind.

''Dances with Wolves'' beats ''Goodfellas'' to an Oscar. hhhhhhmmmmmm ok!

I would definitely not call the Departed a bad film now. It is stupendous.

 

[Liverbirdie]

It's hard to pick between:-

Zulu
Life of Brian
Blues brothers

At one point it was Shawshank redemption, but since then every premiership footballer has picked it since.

 

[G1BB0]

Probably dont have to tell you mine.

my vote goes for Jaws aswell

I watch it countless times ayear, if I flick through sky guide and see it on I have to watch it!

The Shawshank is an interesting one, yes it is a very very good film. It is still in not the best film ever. People still seem to pick it religiously though. Always perplexes me

 

[Wolfman]

Terminator ( superb in its day )
Green Mile
Shawshank Redemption

 

[G1BB0]

almost forgot, dont know how -

The Green Mile

add to that LOTR trilogy and The Matrix (1st one only though)
