Best Movies

[DJA]

How the West Was Won (1962) Gregory Peck, James Stewart, Karl Malden,

[DJA]

Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) VOSE

[Svensson]

I have to add two more categories (first one, becasue it has been mentioned by Herlock):

1. Movie I could ALMOST watch for its soundtrack alone (plus, the movie itself is creepy and great)
Vertigo

2. Slapstick category:
When I was around 10, I was convinced that Smokie and the Bandit was the greatest movie ever made. By a country mile!

[Herlock Sholmes]

[Tani]

Which Mummy are we talking about Tani?

Are we in the realms of Hammer Horror, or one of the pale bandaged imitators?

The imitators of course

I thought Fraser was great and so over the top. The movie as a whole has great comedy and acting.

No regrets choosing it

[barnflatwyngarde]

Return to Oz (Disney for kids at its most disturbing imo).

Duel.

The Mummy.

The Lion King I and II.

Labyrinth.

And I do love the Harry Potter series.


Not really a movie fan aside from a few.

Hoskins was brilliant; the very final scene when he is in the car with a young Pierce Brosnan... acting perfection

Oh yeah, that final scene was a doozy.

[The Rookie Detective]

I love Bob Hoskins chewing up the screen. Plus amazing to see docklands before it was completely transformed. Harry Shand was right on the money (no pun intended) with his predictions for the area.

Hi Caz,

Great choices. I’m glad that you’ve listed my number one film ever…The Life Of Brian. It’s good to see a couple of Carry On films making an appearance too ( I love them) Dial M For Murder is a classic…just pipped at the post in my list by Rear Window. Vertigo almost made it too..

Anyone mention Amelie yet?

It's one of my better half's favourites, so I must watch it again. I know I preferred A Very Long Engagement.

I'm compiling my list but will need to leave many out!
