Favourite movie of all time

[RobTheRover]

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.

See a trend there ?.

[The Red Baron]

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.

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!

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!

[Hounslowrover]

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.
