Whats your favourite film?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I’m not really a film buff but I do agree with Dead Man’s Shoes. An excellent film. Tyrannosaur is great too if you like Considine’s work. He’s a fantastic director, every bit as good as Meadows.
However, I rewatched Cammell & Roeg’s bonkers ‘Performance’ again the other day after finding it all dusty and neglected during the clean up. It stands up really well considering it’s 51 this year. |

"Shawshank
Whiskey Galore
Run fat boy run
 "
Whisky Galore is wonderful. No doubt you mean the original. Def in my top 5.
If I had to choose one I'd probably go The Lives of Others. |

"As a film student I love talking about films and TV. At the moment I think my favourite film is either dead man's shoes or Mandy "
My favourite movie is older than you . Thelma and Louise.  |

Cabaret
It captures a hedonist time, a dangerous time, touches on prostitution, homosexuality and anti-semitism
The songs are great, the performances second to none
Liza Minnelli is good but Joel Grey as Emcee is dark, demonic and fantastically interesting and (for me) completely steals the show

"Not my favourite per se but a little gem I discovered ages nights ago called "Southern Comfort" think "Deliverance" but not as main stream cast.
Definitely worth a look if you've never seen it "
The Ry Cooder score is so good. Very spooky and atmospheric. |

Yeah, it's absolutely excellent.
It sits so well with the paranoia building up between the clearly out of their depth national guard.
Very entertaining little gem that I'd never even heard of until a few weeks ago. |

Would be a different choice every day, like my ‘favourite’ song.
The most recent exceptional film I watched was ‘Moonlight’ which won an Oscar a couple of years ago. |

"Young Frankenstein, brilliant parody
But would you put it ahead of Blazing Saddles as Mel Brooks best work?? "
Definitely, Blazing Saddles is brilliant but the end is ridiculous and lacked thought by Mel Brooks, worst of all he appeared in it, not an actor!  |

That said, I discovered "The producers" not so long ago and info think that's possibly one of the greatest, even ahead of Blazing Saddles. Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel have amazing screen ability. |

I couldn't really choose, but if I had to these ones give me lovely nostalgic feelings because of specific times I'm my life and who I was with.
Local Hero
Overboard
Stardust
Grand Budapest Hotel
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Brave
The Incredibles

Bladerunner, it's a very loose adaption of the book and all the better for it. It's defined how we think of dystopian futures. I live everything about it.
The sequel looks pretty but has no depth.
The last film that I enjoyed was Colour Out of Space, on Amazon. Well directed weirdness and a great performance from Nic Cage. |

"Whisky Galore
Great choice! I love those Ealing comedies
If you like this you should (if you haven't already) see passport to pimlico and the titfield thunderbolt. "
Yes, they are very entertaining as well! |

Seen that years ago. Was about American soldiers training in the south and start fighting hillbillys if it's what I'm thinking of |

Good call - love that film but haven't seen it for a long time. I may have to go searching for that this weekend! |
