Mrs Frugal Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 Sleepy Hollow! Love it. When the boys won't go to bed we threaten to put that film on and they're up the stairs like a shot ! Not one single Johnny Depp film on my list either. What was I thinking! I'll sneak Chocolat in as joint number 10 if that's OK . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Nurse Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I'm just off to bed, Kate - I look forward to seeing how many more of your favourite films you've added as an afterthought by the time I get up.... will you be up be 20 or nearer 30??

Mrs Frugal Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 I'd err on the side of caution Andy and round it up to a nice 100 if I were you. Sleep well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Nurse Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Well, it's your thread, so presumably you can have as many as you want! Wish I had 100 to choose from - I am famous for getting bored and wandering off if I'm watching films at home (probably to come and browse some sort of forum ) Nighty night!

Mrs Frugal Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 Dan! How can you leave out American Werewolf In London !!! It's bad enough that I'd forgotten one of my all time favourites without you admitting to leave it off your list! Sacrilege!!! Yes, OK, I'd forgotten Star Wars too (with two Star Wars obsessed boys in the house, don't know how I managed that!) Yes, yes, and Blues Brothers - John Belushi was tremendous in that! I can't watch Halloween though. I had nightmares for weeks after watching the video as a teenager ! I forgot Truly Madly Deeply as well. Anything with Alan Rickman in will do though - so I'll have to put Die Hard and the rest of the series on my ever growing list too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Here's mine: - Alien (saga - even the Alien V Predator) - Pitch Black (and new Chronicles) - Shaun of the Dead - Both the 'Mummy' and the 'Return of the Mummy' - War of the World's (with Tom Cruise - am I the only one?) - Pirates of the Caribbean - Star Trek (First Contact - and most others) I could go on and on.... ... So I will: - Starship Troopers - Soldier - ID4 - Lost in Space (again, am I the ony one?) - Dune - True Lies - Strictly Ballroom - Billy Elliot - The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy I'll leave it there for now. Should get on with some work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Oooer, think I'll have to do a Kate & come back & edit this as I remember films because I've just gone blank. To start with though; Top Gun sorry, but I find Tom cruise irresistible in that, and the music & the flying scenes. Hubby & I went to see it at the cinema very early in our relationship. He's since bought it on DVD. Ahhh Life is Beautiful Italian subtitled film, think it won an Oscar several years ago. Oh boy, did I cry through that one. An Italian jew & his son in a Nazi Concentration camp, and Dad trying to convince the boy that it was all a complicated game and the horrors weren't really happening at all. Incredibly powerful. A Beautiful Mind Russell Crowe in a film based on the real life of a schizophrenic mathematician. Again, had me in tears The Colour Purple Oh dear, another tearjerker. I'm off to think of a cheerful, funny film now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 In no particular order Edward Scissorhands Billy Elliot (my mother was in the Royal Ballet and she kept on saying "but that's not right, that wouldnt happen, !! ah bless her ) The Italian Job (the original - I only told you to blow the bl**dy doors off!) Its a wonderful life The Truth about cats and Dogs Planes, Trains and Automobiles Uncle Buck The Lady Killers About a boy Four Weddings and A Funeral Love Acutally Baby Boon all the Star Wars all the Matrix Flight of the Navigator No Batteries Required Sixth Sense The Others No, its no good, I have too many - really depends on my mood and the company!
