Favourites are:

Withnail & I (Witty hilarious script, and brillant performances from Richard E.Grant, and Ralph Brown)

2001: A Space Odyssey (The best 'space' movie ever made. Captures the cold silence of space very effectivly. Kubrick at his best)

Cassablanca (Brilliant, classic & moving film)

Blade Runner (Dark atmospheric masterpiece of Sci Fi, with superb Vangelis soundtrack)

The Shining - (The best horror/thiller ever made. Emphasis on atmosphere and feelings of isolation, rather than splatter and gore. Great performances, and a fine soundtrack)

 

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Has everyoneone here seen "The Evil Dead" series including "Army of Darkness"? Not watching those movies is a Cryme against humanity.

Dances With Wolves is my favourite

but I'll watch anything from Dead Poets' Society to the Yellow Submarine with Monty Python & Alfred Hitchcock thrown in too ...

Similar thread is 8 months old, so forgive me for starting anew.

I'd be interested to hear what your favourite movies are. I love Lawrence of Arabia . The acting, the cinematography and atmosphere all go towards making it a great film. I also have a soft spot for Poltergiest (hoping for a UK dvd release). Cheers all...
