Nobody has mentioned Crocodile Dundee or Mannequin!!! sHEESH! Where WERE you guys between 86-88?!?

Some Bond Films would have to go in there. My favourites are Live and Let Die and View to a Kill (1975 and 85 respectively).

For weepability, Philadelphia, Goodnight Mr Tom and The Green Mile. Oh and Watership Down.

Also love Forrest Gump, Top Gun (it's those bums), Dirty Dancing, Roadhouse...any Wallace and Gromit films...

Have shamelessly copied and pasted these from Mrs Dobby!


The Dam Busters
Schindlers List
Last of the Mohicans
Dances with Wolves
Titanic
The Craft
The Lost Boys
The Italian Job (original)
Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal
Good Morning Vietnam
Young Guns
Carry On Cleo, Carry on Follow that Camel, Carry on Screaming
Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Pythons Life of Brian
LOTR - saw all three, but needed a bum transplant after the last one!

Oh and Day of the Triffids. So bad it was a timeless classic!

I hate, loathe and detest sci-fi/fantasy books or films, so I really don't know how I ended up with Terry Pratchett as my favourite author, or 'Time Bandits' as my favourite film.

We went to see Australia last week, that was spactacular and OTT and Nicole Kidman does play her part tounge in cheek at times which is quite funny.
I have walked over the bridge over the river kwai -its quite scary, lots of gaps and trains coming right at ya (you have to time it so you're at a pedestrian 'cage' when the trains come).

Ye Gods, how could I have forgotten Its a Mad Mad Mad World, or Its a Wonderful Life???? Or the Pirates Trilogy, or even The Thing, or Rocky Horror Picture Show!!! Aaaargh! This list is gonna be endless!! lol!

I'm not a film watcher, tend to only watch factual type stuff, but sat on planes often I have nothing else to do, so films while away a few hours.

Fave "factual" film A Bridge Too Far (historically reasonably innacurate but as an ex para it has its moments)

Fave "non factual" (as has been in lots of lists already) Shawshank Redemption.

Also highly recommend Hotel Rwanda

[SlugLobber]

Oh I forgot L'Homme du Train! Not to mention Amélie!

[Paul Wagland]

What a great list so far - I suddenly feel the need to watch half of them again!

Has anyone watched the old B&W, Twelve Angry Men? I think it has to be my all-time favourite.

I also love Together, which is Swedish I think (no, not that kind of Swedish movie HeyWayne, before you ask )

[SarzWix]

I don't watch many films either, but there's a few I'll happily watch over & again;

Harold & Maud
Fistful of Dollars, Few Dollars More (any Clint Eastwood spaghetti western )
The Jerk
Shawshank Redemption
Toy Story
101 Dalmations (original, not ghastly Glenn Close thing!)
National Velvet
& International Velvet
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

[HeyWayne]

Oi!

Besides - Swedish films are so last century. It's the Bulgarian films now....


I've just thought of The Colour Purple, Do the Right Thing, American History X, The Bunnies Picnic, Forbidden Planet, Hero...

[HeyWayne]

Hard Candy, Juno...

[Camsdad]

Pretty much anything with Tom Hanks/Sandra Bullock in, Tom's because he is such a strong and versatile actor and Sandra's because she is gorgeous. I aslo like "Wonderful Life"

Camsdad

Harold and Maude... blew me away when I first watched it aged about 12. I'd love to see it again some day.
