Talisman Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Apart from Carry On's and Charlie Chaplin films (you can't beat the old fashioned silent movies), my favourites are films with a spiritual element that make you think and question - films that have a real good story and can be viewed in many different ways. Some of my favourites include American Beauty, Life is Beautiful and What Dreams May Come. Of course there are also the Babylon 5 and Star Trek films - First Contact and Star Trek V (the one about the whales) are my favourites. Quote
Nollaig Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Star Trek Generations is one of my favourite Christmas movies. I'm not sure WHY it's a Christmas movie, since the only obvious Christmassy bit is when Picard is in the Nexus, but either way, it's become a tradition to watch it with my family at Christmas. Quote
muggle not Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Million Dollar Baby was an excellent film and the acting in it was superb. Quote
Ben Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 I would like to say that Gran Turino is one of the best films I have seen in years. Easily one of my all-time favs That's interesting seen as though I was considering watching it just the other day, then decided against it. May reconsider now.. Quote
Babe*With*Brains Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 I love Amelie, rocky horror picture show (never fails to make me smile!) and if i'm being entirely honest, a good muppet film =p I'm admitting here and now that i adore 'A Muppet Christmas Carol' oh the shame. Quote
chesilbeach Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 I love Amelie, rocky horror picture show (never fails to make me smile!) and if i'm being entirely honest, a good muppet film =p I'm admitting here and now that i adore 'A Muppet Christmas Carol' oh the shame. I love Amelie too, and there is absolutely no shame in adoring A Muppet Christmas Carol - one of the best Christmas films ever, and I think it's completely wonderful. Quote
Peacefield Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Amelie is one I have yet to see, and I kick myself whenever I notice it mentioned because I still haven't seen it! Speaking of French films, as anyone seen The Horseman on the Roof? I loved that one immensely. Quote
BookJumper Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I love Amelie, rocky horror picture show (never fails to make me smile!)Seconded. Seeing RHPS at the theatre is an insane experience (and one which I've indulged in 7 times), but alas - no Tim Curry!! I love that man and most of the things he's been in, from the surreal Clue (the only film ever, I believe, to have been based on a boardgame) to the dreadful-but-I-love-it-anyway The Man in the Iron Mask. I think Annie is probably the only thing of his I'll never stomach... not even he could save it! Quote
Nicola Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I love Amelie, rocky horror picture show (never fails to make me smile!) I haven't seen Amelie yet but it's on my mental 'must watch' list I also love Rocky Horror Picture Show and saw the sing-along version at the theatre a few years ago. Everyone was dressed up....it was fabulous! Quote

All time Favorites: Foul Play The Devil Wears Prada How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days The Sound of Music Rear Window The Parent Trap ( new ) Overboard The Italian Job Bourne 1,2 and 3 Most James Bond I love all of those, except Foul Play, which I've never heard of.

Raven Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 ... A Muppet Christmas Carol - one of the best Christmas films ever... After Die Hard! And to all thouse who haven't seen Amelie yet, do so, it's great! Quote
KimmyS Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Apart from the odd movie here and there I really dislike modern movies (gawd I sound like the old boring fart I am...) All this CGI overload is doing my head in - so I prefer to re watch some old classics. I never get tired of them. That said, my Top 10 do include some CGI enhanced movies - they are not all bad Arsenic And Old Lace Gone With The Wind We Are No Angels The Big Lebowski Kelly's Heroes The Great Escape Reservoir Dogs The Fantastic Four (all of them) Spiderman II Dances With Wolves There are many other movies I enjoy watching but not as often as those Quote
Fi. Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 And to all thouse who haven't seen Amelie yet, do so, it's great! Completely agree, Amelie is in my top 5 best movies ever seen Quote
