Castlebar

Just looking at a forum about films and there are so many films that everyone raves about but I've never seen, like

Shawshank Redemption

Pulp Fiction

The Matrix

When Harry met Sally to name a few...

Anyone else not feel like they have to see a film just because it's a "classic"

Not saying those are classics - I've no idea

I have friends who have tried to get me to watch Nacho Libre.....by many means.

It's considered by some a must watch, not sure I it's considered a classic....but feck....the idea of sitting an hour or two listening to Jack Black makes me want to vomit.

Ha!

My dad always falls asleep during movies!. It's great gas. I regularly switch movies half way through, but make sure it's the same lead character in both!!

He'll wake up and Tom Hanks is stranded on a desert island - and dad will wonder how the heck he ended up there!! ..when he started out by trying to crack the Da Vinci Code!

I enjoy going to the cinema. My favourite cinema is the Lighthouse cinema in Smithfield Dublin.

My father use to bring my mother to the cinema a lot when they were going out together. Dad would buy mammy a box of chocolates. Mammy would eat the top layer and bring the bottom layer home to her mother.

My favourite movie Sideways. I did a road trip around the winerys in Adleaide.
