Afternoon all. Thought I'd throw up a thread about everyones favourite, guilty pleasure or "go too films". Stuff you enjoy or would recommend.
A left field for me. Field of Dreams with Kevin Costner. Possibly because I lost my dad when I was young
Not really keeping up to date with recent stuff but some of my favourites are Gladiator, Braveheart, Shawshank Redemption, Papillon, Kelly's Heroes, Lord of the Rings/Hobbit, Basic Instinct, Dances with Wolves, and if I want a good laugh, the Airplane films. Probably nothing particularly different there and I've no doubt missed a few.
Too many to mention just a few off the top of my head Outlaw Josey Wales, Maltese Falcon, Mother Goose, Key Largo, Revenant, Topsy Turvy , Fish Called Wanda, Last Picture Show , all stuff I've watched more than once.
Favourites are Schindlers List, Braveheart, Gladiator, Apollo 13, Shawshank Redemption, Good the Bad and The Ugly, Papillon, Godfather 2, In The Name of the Father, and ...The Goonies. Edited to add Dances With Wolves and Life of Brian.
The good, the bad and the ugly is a fantastic 'proper' film, True Grit (the proper one) is likewise, but my favourite, which I've mentioned before is 'Blazing Saddles' I also really like 'The blustery day'
We have something in common. My favourite movie. Gene Hackman is incredible in that as is a young Willem Dafoe
Films that don’t try to be anything more than a good yarn. Dirty Dancing, because I remember that era and the music is great. Trading Places for a couple of reasons. 12 Angry Men. I watched that again last week. Brilliant.
