    Have you read the book? It is a million times better than the film could ever be.

    I'd go as far to say the film is a crock of sh*te compared to the book. It's brilliant.:D

    Favourite films - hmmm

    Zoolander (funniest comedy by some distance I have seen, but why male models?)

    I could watch Godfather 1 and 2 for the rest of my days. Mesmerising.

    Pulp Fiction - is there an adrenaline rush (with decent dialogue) to beat it?

    City of God - Incredible.

    War films are a passion of mine - My favourites are the Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now.

    There are many more which I cannot think of atm.

    Ben Kingsley is something else in this.

    3 that always get me are
    Once upon a time in America
    Leon
    Road to Perdition

    Favourites would have to be all the Godfather films, even part 3 just to see Michael's character demise, guilt & lose those who he loved.
