Favourite Films

Just watching The Abyss must have seen it 5 times just because i was into scuba diving.
* this is the edited version only 3 hours long

What are your favourite films and why?

1950's Sci-Fi - The Day the Earth Stood Still - a bit corny now but the acting of Billy Gray as Bobby Benson is really worth seeing.

Or - The Third Man - Orson Welles, Trevor Howard and Joseph Cotton - gripping stuff.

a-a

The Big Lebowski - it is just so quotable!
"Nice marmot"

Oooooh lots......I like lots of different films. I have probably watched grease and pretty woman the most! I like love actually. Big softy really. Cant belive I'm admitting this!

I also see good will hunting is on later on BBC 3. Another I have watched many times.........

1950's Sci-Fi - The Day the Earth Stood Still

I love those too.......caught fire, stood still..........brilliant!

Monty Pythons Life of Brian

For obvious reasons
Very irreverent.

What have the Roman ever done for us?

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - child catcher still scary. Barefoot in the Park is another one I enjoy when it's on. Another vote for Love Actually.

I love The Abyss too, seen it 3 times and I hate scuba diving - tried it once, scared me to death, won't be doing that again (and my Brother and SIL are instructors)
Erm, where was I!
Close encounters of the third kind is my all time favourite, queued 3 times round the Odeon in Reading to see it. Next, Contact then it's a wonderful life.

Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Only film to ever have made me scream out loud in the cinema

Blade Runner I have all the versions I must be one of the few people who like the voice over version. And I really like the Vangelis sound track.

I like Sci Fi and am also watching The Abyss

Never really got why you'd want to watch any film again and again, there are so many films out there to watch but if you've seen them before you know the twists and punchlines etc so I think there are probably only about 2 or 3 films I've ever watched more than once. There are loads that I've enjoyed and liked but don't do faves.
