It's got to be Shawshank Redemption for me

[MrsC]

JAWS !!!!. For me the best film ever, however i annoy Mrs Minty by reading the script for all the characters a couple of seconds before they say it in the film. As annoying as i would find it i cant help doing it !! And not just " Were gonna need a bigger boat !!"bit but ALL of it.
Tragic .........Yes, Minty x

Funny, I thought it was only Mr C who did that!

oooh... just thought of Glengarry Glen Ross. Great film but lots of 'language' in that too. I was fair shocked the first time!
