War Games
The Wicker Man (EdWoodWoodWood original not the Nic Cage remake!)
And try watching Labyrinth again with an "it's really a story about the Illuminati and/or mind control" hat on and it's a TOTALLY different story to the innocent childhood tale you thought it was! |

Labyrinth was never an innocent film, it was about a complete narcissist who stalked her and was quite possibly insane too! |

That's why I love it, it can be interpreted so many different ways! My fave theory is the mind control one, at the end it's not a defeat of Jareth (the Bowie character) but a victory having totally programmed Sarah's inner world. It makes sense when you watch it with that in mind!
As a kiddie it was just a bit of a fairytale romp. Oh and I used to go all funny inside over Jennifer Connelly too  |

I wanted to look like her when i grew up.. i still do!
Noooo she definitely beat him and changed herself in the process, its more like a woman escaping a mentally abusive relationship, quite empowering actually.
Is it bad I know every word to the film and I mean EVERy word.. people hate watching it with me as i talk along with it |

I always viewed it as him being her creation. He was her fantasy come to life, someone who adored her when her parents were preoccupied with the baby and she wasn't getting the attention she wanted. Her defeating and rejecting him was symbolic of her casting aside childish fantasy and accepting the real world and a more adult role in her family. That's my interpretation anyway. |

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
I have never seen this film. And i've wanted to for AGES. Alas, I currently do not have a DVD player and i'm not going to watch it on my mobile or Ipad because it doesn't feel like you are doing a film justice and are just not watching it properly.
So sort it TV bods. |

That's one of my faves! I forced MrWho to watch it a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure he's forgiven me yet  |

"Seven brides foe seven brothers
West side story
Nightmare before Christmas
Gremlins "
Seven brides for seven brothers is my all time favourite film. I know 90% of the words and can watch it for hours. Have had to buy a new copy on dvd as I wore the 1st 2 copies out!
My hubby and kids hate it |

I love Labyrinth. I still remember singing and dancing to Magic Dance when I was a kid. I know lines from the movie as well at some of the memorable.

"Entertaining mr sloane.all quiet on the western front."
All quiet one of my fave war films just for the very end, summed up what those in command thought of the men in WW1 very succinctly & in a simple way.

One of my favourite fantasy flicks Willow is never on TV these days.
Queen Bavmorda was a pretty cool villain and the outfit she was wearing made her look like a cross between Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty and the evil queen from Snow White. |

Great film but with some questionable acting
