The Shawshank Redemption.

Anyone who doesn't feel good when at the end Morgan Freeman says "Andy Dufresne - who crawled through a river of **** and came out clean on the other side" has no soul.

I thought that movie was quite poor but it did hit the feel good factor as you mention but as a story I found it limited and not worthy of the hype.

Yeah, one headerball on the other thread mentioned E.T - must be on drugs. It's a stone cold classic.

Jaws is another one which is impossible to dislike.

Jaws gave sharks a bad image, leading to many being killed. The movie is destroying eco systems!

Both Paddington movies.

May be aimed at kids but my god are they brilliant. You know they're special when my 69 year old father has watched them about 20 times with my 9 year old daughter and doesn't fall asleep til it's over!!

Terminator 1 and 2. My personal favorite movies, but i've never heard a bad word about them.

Definitely the 2 best action films ever, T2 is pretty much perfect

Yes, I meant the original film with Gene Wilder. I never saw the re make.

Steven Spielberg isn't entirely Teflon, but he's damn close.

The Incredibles
Saving Private Ryan
Casablanca

Even if people don't love them, I've never heard someone say they dislike them.

Plenty people don't like it. It's often cited as massively overrated which I'd be be inclined to agree with.

No it's not, its very very very rare to find someone criticising this film and its usually only done in response to it's no1 spot on IMDB or the fact that so many people bang on about what makes the film a masterpiece

E.T. First movie I ever saw, aged 5, in a picture house.

And you know what, it upset me so much when ET and the boy parted Ive never watched it since. Genuinely I can still recall the heartbroken feelings and floods of tears i was in over it and im 42 now. Maturity and perspective have done nothing.

So I'm gonna say i don't like it.

I would say the fact that a film was capable of causing you to do this makes it a good film.

donegal_man · 01-09-2018 11:05AM

So many movies here you couldn't pay me to watch. The main contenders being Ferris Bueller and Home Alone

Barney's Great Adventure.

I'm not particularly into comedies, but you would be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't like planes trains and automobiles.

Anyone else read posts on this thread and think I need to pm these people and become friends with them ... like big trouble in little China person, terminator2 person, toy story and die hard appreciators.

The flip side is I want to beat up the person that was giving Shawshank stick... “not worthy” guy

RiderOnTheStorm · 01-09-2018 11:42AM

Hot Fuzz and The Inbetweeners Movie

Both seem to be repeated on a monthly basis on ITV and Channel 4 - I always feel compelled to put them on and have never had a single complaint from family or housemates for doing so!
