Julietta Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I thought of starting this thread with top 5 films and found that hard so decided on top 10 but it's still actually harder than I thought as The Matrix should be in there somewhere the Die Hards, the Spaghetti's and many many others I guess I just love films hence having a collection of 300 plus videos but here, I think, are my top 10 favourites: 1. Austin Powers (or anything with Mike Myers) 2. Shawshank Redemption 3. Enemy of the State 4. Lethal Weapon (all of them) 5. Dirty Harry (all) 6. Bridget Jones' Diary 7. Revenge (Madeline Stowe, Kevin Costner) 8. Gone with the Wind 9. Pretty in Pink 10. Now Voyager (or anything with Bette Davis) Let calm be widespread May the sea glisten like greenstone And the shimmer of summer Dance across your pathway "Communication is a two way thing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaphod Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 1) First Monday in October .... irascible Walter Matthau and goody-two-shoes Jill Clayburgh verbally sparring as Supreme Court Judges. The film contains the line ' telephone has no constitutional right to be answered', something which I frequently put into practice ! ..... more when they spring to mind Xa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairyBiker Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Even 10 is difficult - and its nigh on impossible to put them in any sort of order. But here goes some fave films: 1) American Graffiti 2) The Italian Job 3) Monte Carlo or Bust 4) Pulp Fiction 5) Desperado 6) Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels 7) The Good, The Bad and The Ugly The Godfather 9) Goodfellas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Shrek, Star Wars first 3, Terminator, RHPS, Mad Max, Water World, Day of the Triffids, Village of the Damned. Basically anything with some action. It dosesn't have to be believable. And if there are some nice shoes to see then all the better. However action movies and heels don't go together unless it is T3 so I am looking forward to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamyam Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 In no particular order, as I'm not really a film buff: Men in Black 1 & 2 Italian Job Scary Movie 1 & 2 Blues Brothers The Matrix Robocop ...and that's about all I can think of just now. Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julietta Posted July 18, 2003 Author Share Posted July 18, 2003 Can I just add... Once Upon a Time in America Shirley Valentine A Touch of Class Sea of Love Assassin Leon One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest Midnight Express Papillion The Great Escape Beauty and the Beast (Disney - in fact any Disney's) Jack and Sarah 3 Men and a little Baby/Lady Wuthering Heights (Black & White version) Jayne Eyre (Black & White version)Great Expectations (B & W Version) Twins (great set of heels in that film where one of the actresses jumps over a wall in 5" stilletos) Look Who's Talking and so on and so on Let calm be widespread May the sea glisten like greenstone And the shimmer of summer Dance across your pathway "Communication is a two way thing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamyam Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 You can certainly remind me about 'Leon', which is an awesome film. I'd also like to mention 'The Wall', which is both a film and a really long music video. Oh, and 'Young Frankenstein' and 'Blazing Saddles'. Obsessed is such a strong word.

Laurieheels Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I always thought The Wall was a way for people to experience what it's like to take drugs without actually taking them... okay, that's a joke, I don't actually mean that. Still... It can be a very deep movie when one thinks about it. Lots of meaning on many little levels, but I haven't seen it in a long time, so I don't think I'd be up to speed for a proper discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julietta Posted July 22, 2003 Author Share Posted July 22, 2003 Forest Gump is excellent in fact all of Tom Hanks films are great. I love The Money Pit, that along with A Weekend at Bernies (Andrew McCarthy), has to be one of the funniest films. I also love Big and Sleepless in Seattle (Meg Ryan, French Kiss/When Harry Met Sally, another of my fav actresses). I guess for me there are no end of films I like... maybe I should have had a top ten in each catagory Let calm be widespread May the sea glisten like greenstone And the shimmer of summer Dance across your pathway "Communication is a two way thing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk4625 Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Where have you seen it? I have it on VHS with English subtitles. Very graphic and realistic. Firearms collectors will appreciate the authentic period weapons including the m/28-30 in the opening scene. In the scene in the bunker, the cat is called "Kissi" which I guess means "pussy" in Finnish. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCinHeels Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 im not sure i can pick just ten, or in any particular order, if its in my video library, its one of my favorites... the fastest way to this man's heart is with nice legs in high heels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that I'm the same as you it's harder than I thought because I like different films according to my moods. Maybe I should have done the tread as top ten artists! Now there's a thought!

jim Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 3) Shawshank Redemption I agree Anita,what a superb movie..I was just as taken with "The Green Mile". Tom Hanks never fails to impress me.. jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ionic Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I agree Anita,what a superb movie. Although I agree Shawshank is a good film, I admit that at the beginning of the year I had a couple of hours laid back in the dental chair for a root canal treatment and they had Shawshank on the video goggles but I got fed up with the slow pace after a while and switched over to the live video feed of the work going on in my tooth.
