Mine are the original Fast and Furious, Rocky 3 and Top Gun...
Although the original F+F is a pretty rubbish film, it shaped my teenage years and led me on to making some great friends and memories! |

Definitely agree about F+F it’s utter garbage but that’s what makes it brilliant. I saw a lot of F+F6 being filmed in Liverpool. |

Solaris (Tarkovsky original, not the shitty remake). Films don't come any more intelligent. Unless they're Stalker, which is also good.
For English language films, Blood Simple (Coens early and best), Duel, any of the early 70s no wave road movies, and I retain a huge soft spot for both Apocalypse Now and Taxi Driver. |

"Grosse pointe blank.
Dune ( yes the David lynch version).
Zero dark thirty.
Madagascar."
I really like the David Lynch Dune too, and Grosse Pointe Blank
I’d add, Amelie, Lawrence of Arabia, Apocalypse Now and Star Trek: First Contact
Though it will have changed by tomorrow.  |

"A Tarkovsky fan on Fab ! "
Honestly I don't know how anybody who claims to love cinema can't love Tarkovsky. The man lived and breathed auteurism, film and storytelling. Sure the films are slow and thoughtful and a bit bookish. And what's wrong with that, unless you think all a film is is a loaf of SFX and CGI? |

"Transformers the Movie (1984)
Kelly’s Heroes"
Fun Fact. Transformers the movie (1984) was Orson Wells last ever film role before he died. He played the voice of Omnicron, the planet devouring robot. |

"Snatch.
No matter how many times I watch it I still find it hilarious.

Best thing Brad Pitt has ever done. All the characters are brilliant but he's so in-character it's untrue. |

There's a lot when I think back. Thieves Like Us and Badlands are wonderful American filmmaking, as are Heaven's Gate and The Deer Hunter.
Then there's Australian cinema. Walkabout, Picnic At Hanging Rock etc. |

Also NZ cinema. Try Black Sheep if you like black comedy. Very dark, very funny. |

"Local Hero (1983)
Good story and lovely ambience.
A young Jenny Seagrove and elderly Burt Lancaster.
A young Peter Capaldi and elderly Fulton McKay.
Great beach dwelling."
Good choice with a Bill Forsyth film, I personally prefer Gregory’s Girl a little bit more. But happily watch both as a perfect double bill |

'Chocolat' for it's shear romanticism
'All about my mother' cos it's funny AND fucked up
'Cabaret' for a campfest
'The Night Porter' because the subject matter unnerves me yet slightly arouses me + who would have thought Dirk Bogarde could be so deliciously dark
'The life of David Gale' Kevin Spacey, Kate Winslet AND Laura Linney (who I have a major crush on) + it's thought provoking subject matter |

Amelie. That combination of sexy and innocent that only the French can do.
Also Baise-Moi. That combination of sexy and brutally worldly and violent that only the French can do |

I never thought I's see the day someone else puts 'Grosse Point Blank' in a favourite film list! High Five!!
On top of that, I'll add anything Tarantino has had a hand in. Oh, and Die Hard  |
