Favourite films of all time

[Quicknick]

And LA Confidential - thanks Quicknick

Great film but not as good as Ellroy's masterful novel.

[Firthy]

Don’t be ridiculous!

Read the title. Why is it ridiculous that it's my favourite film of all time? You're saying my personal choice is ridiculous which offends me very much

That's a list. Not sure about Saving Private Ryan. How about Shaving Ryan's Privates?

Ah yes, that’s the one. Sorry, typo.

Onto Page 3 with many of my fave films mentioned - but no sign of my top one so thought I would throw it into the ring:

The Sting

Honourable mentions which I haven't seen listed (apologies if missed):
In Bruges
Tombstone
Man on the Moon

[dougcollins]

Independent cinema is still hanging on by the skin of it's teeth here (thank God).....its worth a trip to the cinema for sure ...if it's showing nearby.

My favourite little indie (Ripon) has just had to close.

Really upset.

[IanMcL]

Sleeper. Excellent film.

Take the Money and Run and Love and Death are also great.

That's the one. A belly laugh film, it is so barmy! WA at that tome eas superb.

Some De Niro classics

Mean Streets
Taxi Driver
The Deerhunter
Heat

You forgot 'Surf Nazis Must Die'

[Steve1956]

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs....
Thanks Tim.

[bfc8]

Just remembered The Beatles Help film, 1965.

Included a scene from the 1962 cup final Burnley v. Spurs.
Think it was crowd singing in bit with Ringo in beer cellar with a tiger.

[Middle-agedClaret]

The Graduate
Midnight Cowboy
Cabaret
Angels With Dirty Faces

[South West Claret.]

One flew over the Cuckoo’s nest.

Just remembered another one I like to watch on TV, when it comes around.

Body Heat with a young, very sexy Kathleen Turner.

She certainly was sexy.....& funny (man with two brains).

Three colours blue (and red, but blue is best)*
Hellzapoppin*
Mean Girls*
Field of dreams
The replacements
The double life of veronique*
Roman holiday*
Miss smillas feeling for snow
The eye (although that is to a great extent because it has "the stars" by the frequency at the end which is a beautiful piece of music that is impossible to get on cd)
The first Bourne film
Restless natives
Twin town
The day the earth stood still
The eagle has landed - as a war film seems a requirement looking at the above list, but here's another..
The train.
Hotel reserve
Four weddings and a funeral
North by north west
The opening sequence of "Get Carter" (the original) as the train heads north, which reminds me of going to football in my youth.
Bill and Ted's most excellent adventure
Bad santa
A Christmas kiss*

Judging from most of the lists above, I don't recommend those with a * to most of you, as you probably won't enjoy them.

[Tricky Trevor]

Directors:
Anything by Tarantino or Spielberg.
Actors:
Anything with Eastwood, Washington or Hackman.

Just check the above on IMDB, not much below 7.

Foreign Language:
Anything with Daniel Auteuil but 36 Quai de Orfevre is my favourite.
Amelie
The secret in their eyes
MicMacs
Pour Elle, remade as The Next 3 Days. Decent cover but not as good.
Ne Le Dis A Personne, remade as Tell No One but not as good

[claretonthecoast1882]

Goodfellas
Last Of The Mohicans
Godfather I & II
Pulp Fiction
French Connection
Bullitt

[Tricky Trevor]

I posted “the secrets in their eyes” higher up.
This should have been the original “El Secreto De Sus Ojos” and not the awful US rehash.
