Hostel!!

wijam

Old school movie would have to be The Quiet Man

Current I'd have to say The Shawshank Redemption - have watched that countless times and still find it a great watch

filmbuffboy

American Beauty, without a doubt. Never fails to move me when I watch it

Groundhog day. Funny, romantic and philosophical. I never get tired of it.

Trainspotting for me.Brilliantly acted film with some great characters and a fantastic story from Irvine Welsh.

Did we have this thread before?

Anyway it's an easy question..... Raiders of the Lost Ark, i'm possibly the biggest fan of this film on the planet.

Humour, action, adventure, romance, horror, fantasy, exotic locations, fantastic characters (both good and evil) and amazing soundtrack, the perfect film.

Sorry off topic but i really hate when people say did we have this thread before.

Are we never suppose to have a discussion or a thread again about a topic if there has previously been a thread on it:rolleyes:

Dog Day Afteroon..

Ryans Daughter for me and the Alien and Terminator films.

Inception - great storyline, and am obsessed with the score. Could watch it everyday and not get bored

New favourite for me, before it came out would have been a toss up between Aliens, The Sound of Music & Fight Club

Watched Goodfellas when it was on the other night and it just gets better, cinematic perfection with actors at the top of their game. "I ****ing amaze you" or "funny how? like a clown" that scene will be remembered for decades, brilliant!

The Life Aquatic.

Wes Anderson is a genius and with the ridiculously watchable cast at his hands, culminating in a scene which is so beautiful. Love that film.

I do love Scarface but I just think all this crap on Mtv Cribs etc has kind of taken a bit of the shine of the film. Amazing film and I love Pacino in it. But some of the fanfare for it can be cringeworthy.

i perfer that other movie he made with brian de palma , carlitos way

Scartbeg

Blazing Saddles - a fantastic comedy satire with outstanding performances from Gene Wilder as the washed up gunslinger and Madeline Kahn as the Marlene Dietrich lookalike - "it's twue it's twue!".

Not an ounce of political correctness as you'd expect from Mel Brooks.
Too many one liners and comedy moments to pick from - Mungo punching the horse out cold is always a classic. Deserves a thread of it's own to do it justice

Could happily watch it every night.

Jaws -has everything in the one film !!

SilverKrest

I still find Titanic an epic film. I never get tired of watching it again and again. The sinking/flooding scenes and all the special effects in general were excellent

Hart

Escape from New York.

MJ23

White Men Can't Jump. Must have seen it around 100 times now. Love it

KenSwee

12 Angry men (1957)
I never grow tired of watching how Henry Fonda manages to de-construct the whole guilty verdict without screaming, shouting or crying.

Absolutely brilliant.

I also loved Jason and the Argonauts (1963). Just because of the skeletons jumping out of the ground.

iIt completely changed my outlook on films. Before seeing it (aged 15 or 16), my favourite films were what a typical teenage boy would love - Die Hard, T2, Pulp Fiction etc (All great films btw) but this was the first film that made me appreciate things other than big stars, action and high concept plots.
It was a simple story told slowly and deliberatly yet it gripped me as much as any other film I'd ever seen. Much of it's story was told through facial expressions and silence .
I became so emotionally invested in this mans plight, desipte the film not displaying anything close to the typical Hollywood formlua for emotion.

I was truly mesmeiised by it.
