Not an easy one, and it's probably easier to put a few down so for me it's:-
12 Angry men
Shawshank Redemption
North By Northwest
Goodfellas
-
17 Again. 13 going on 30 a close second.
-
Aliens scared the shit out of me!
Hamburger hill was best of the war films cliché away!!
So I married an axe murderer best comedy.
-
Love American Pie 1 and 2
-
Shawshank Redemption is one of mine, as is seven and I really enjoyed Highlander and the Hannibal Lecter trilogy too! To be fair as well hannibal rising was also worth a watch for the backstory!
-
Shawshank also ranks highly in mine.
Other notable faves:
- The Italian Job
- Robocop
- Goodfellas
- LA Confidential
- Pulp Fiction
- Trainspotting
-
The Empire Strikes Back. I wept when Han is encased in carbonite.
-
Falling Down
-
The Empire Strikes Back. I wept when Han is encased in carbonite.
Return of the Jedi has that effect on me, no matter how many times I watch it I bawl my eyes out when Vader dies.
-
Shirley Valentine. I still quote some of the lines in that film. Still makes me chuckle.
-
Rita, Sue and Bob Too is like that for me. Classic.
-
Don't Look Back
-
Love most of Lucas and Speilbergs work, and aliens, sleepers, snatch and lock stock.
-
I forgot about sleepers - another good film, other decent films, blood diamond and shooter are good, hanna is also a quality watch - suppose it depends on your genre! I thought inception was a clever concept too!
-
For me
12 Angry men - stage version of this play is on in York in April, saw it in London when it was on there and its well worth going to.
Whiskey Galore
In which we serve
-
The wild bunch
Cross of Iron
Patton
The song of Bernadette.
Ronin
-
The castle - great Australian comedy
-
Trainspotting, Pulp Fiction and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, order depends on what mood I'm in.
-
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Railway Children, Shawshank Redemption, The Warriors, Die Hards 1 & 2, Ghost, The Great Escape, Magnificent Seven and Live and Let Die.
-
I love Snatch fnaar fnaar
-
KES

Good to see '12 Angry Men' getting so many votes, and I would add 'Rear Window' to my list.
As a Tolkien nut of nearly 50 years' standing I have to say Peter Jackson's trilogy was outstanding (not convinced by the Hobbit though)
Two more very different films I love are 'Les Uns et Les Autres' and 'You've got Mail'.
-
I'll go for 12 Angry Men too
Along with
Dr Strangelove
The Big Lebowski
Fistful of Dollars
Amelie
The Seventh Seal
The Usual Suspects
Cinema Paradiso
Battleship Potemkin.
-
Agree Dutch, whenever I talk about 12 Angry Men, nobody has ever seen it. It's always been a bit ignored (in my opinion) whereas 'Citizen Kane' was, for years, classed as the 'best film ever', and in my opinion it doesn't come close to 12 Angry Men.
Agree with Rear Window too, although I love most of Hitchcocks work.
-
Kes
Get Carter (the original)
Wicker Man (likewise)
Dancer in the Dark
-
The original Wicker Man is brilliant.
A few very good ones I've seen recently:
- Dallas Buyers' Club
- American Hustle
- Trance
-
For old ones,
all the Alfred Hitchcock movies with Jimmy Stewart
Gone With the Wind
To Kill A Mockingbird
For comedies:
Woody Allen movies
Peter Sellers Pink Panther movies
Caddy Shack
Animal House
Spinal Tap
The Princess Bride
Love all the James Bond movies
We saw A Hard Days Night tonight at the local theatre (first time ever really seeing it for me) and it is very clever and fun, and those mad cap lads are very cute and clean (like Paul's grandfather). Haha.
Cinema Paradiso
Under the Tuscan Sun
And lots of other rom coms I'm too embarrassed to admit to.
No really recent ones except the one about Alan Turing, and would like to see Paddington.
-
Not a massive film watcher, would rather watch documentaries or series given the choice on Netflix, but of the films I have watched (still a fair amount, although I'm making seem not many lol), I would have to say Rat Race.
-
Life of Brian, Holy Grail, Blade Runner, Platoon, Casualties of War, Saving Private Ryan. Soft spots for Goonies, Flight of the Navigator, Last Starfighter.
Grease. :coat: :coat:
-
Kes
Scum
Quadraphenia
McVicar
The Longest Day
True Grit
The Alamo
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
A fist Full of Dollars
Big Country
And if weepy films get you watch Angela's Ashes
-
Rita, Sue and Bob Too is like that for me. Classic.
A lad I work with from time to time actually played Bob in an AmDram show of Rita, Sue and Bob too. He right enjoyed it.
-
My top 5 all time are....
1) Star Wars V : The Empire Strikes Back
2) Star Wars IV : A New Hope
3) The Thing (1982)
4) Raiders of the Lost Ark
5) Jaws
Special mentions to The Raid: Redemption, Reservoir Dogs, Interstellar, Dog Soldiers, The Godfather II, and Blade Runner
-
The Quiet Man.
Ryans Daughter
The Field
Derby O'Gill and the little people
The wind that shakes the Barley
See a trend there ?.
-
Trainspotting, Pulp Fiction and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, order depends on what mood I'm in.
I'm glad someone else likes Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. As a kid I remember going to see it at the old Gaumont. I was spellbound by it. But even now I thoroughly enjoy watching it. A great story and a wonderful film.
-
Fistful of Dollars & The Good, The Bad and the Ugly brilliant for me.
A few others I really enjoyed: Groundhog day, The Godfather, The Deerhunter, Awakenings, Forest Gump, Schindler's List, oh and Sixth Sense.
One I watched recently and really enjoyed, although it doesn't particularly demand much of the old grey matter was The Equaliser. Bit of a lad's film and it seems to give a nod to Fistful of Dollars in the way the main character 'marks their card' but doesn't wade in at the first sign of the damsel in distress at the hands of baddies.
-
My father in law was Mr Grice in Kes.
Great film.
Python films
Marx Bros. Esp Duck Soup
12 Angry Men
All Ealing Comedies esp Laughter In Paradise
Inglorious Basterds..Chris Waltz is mesmerizing in that.

"A proper little cigarette factory aren't you lad"
Lol!

Thought provoking: Donny Darko
The lovely bones
-
Renaldo and Clara
-
Planes, trains & automobiles, cool runnings & American pie 1&2 to make me laugh; 'schindlers list' to make me cry and 'don't look now' to scare the living bejesus out of me!
:aok:
-
Star Wars/LotR/Hobbit/Aliens/Kingdom of Heaven (director's cuts).
Knight's Tale is a movie I can't not watch if it's on.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is the scariest movie I've ever seen. The whole concept of the child catcher hunting children with the net and the cage... That's some seriously f***ed up s*** for a kid's movie!
-
Some Like it Hot, Life of Brian and Shawshank Redemption are films I can watch over again.
As a kid I loved the Guns of Naverone, but it doesn't stand the test of time.
I'd never seen the Sound of Music until I went to a singalong about ten years ago, I can now admit that I really like it.
