    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.

    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' :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I also really like 'The blustery day' :emoticon-0111-blush

    That is one of those movies I can happily watch at anytime. Really beautiful and a super cast.

    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. :emoticon-0103-cool:
    12 Angry Men. I watched that again last week. Brilliant.
