    Fantastic film, watched it loads and absolutely love the soundtrack.

    I don't mind admitting there's bits that are tear-wrenching...

    I would've guessed at Star Wars for thee!

    Where I might've got that idea from I couldn't possibly imagine!

    The best films are mostly the ones you can relate to

    Although you can't deny classics like the Sound of Music.......
    But most films I like i have lived the life OR I still live the life

    Alfie
    Bridges of Madison County............best love film ever
    Educating Rita...............I have been Rita
    Kes
    The Quite Man...................mothers family

    I can see me in all of these films

    My grandad died of Pete Postlethwaite's character's pit induced illness so it holds special feelings for me. Land of bloody hope and glory!

    <div>... You MUST set some time aside to watch this film.</div><div>Apart from the superb cinematic photography and some of the finest theme music ever laid down onto soundtrack, I assure you that Claudia Cardinale is one of the most beautiful women EVER to appear on film. Gulp :eek: </div>

    Gigi?
    Ishtar?
    Godfather?
    Green Mile?
    Gladiator?
    Lucky Nurmber Slevin?
    Trailer Pak Boys?
    On the Waterfront?

    Apart from Shawshak Redemption, which is arguably the best film ever conceived and put on to celluloid, wth the exception of the original 'Debbie Does Dallas' there are only two decent films that I can recall over the last 15 years.

    Scum
    Nill by Mouth

    Both starred Ray Winstone and the second one was written and directed by Gary Oldman.

    Hold the front page...

    Windy in irreverent disagreement and / or intellectually cryptic reply to perfectly legitimate post shocker!

    Still covering both bases, I see?

    For the sake of argument I am totally serious about my inability to give a single film as my favourite, provide a definitive list (see the posts further down this thread) and just as serious about the films I find thoroughly entertaining for a number of different reasons.

    Which point did you think I wasn't being serious about?
