I got a bit cheesed off with the Titanic films, the ending is always the same.
My favourite film is ‘The Quiet Man,’ With John Wayne. The worst film IMHO is ‘Braveheart,’ an Australian midget playing what should have been a giant of a Jock.

I did like Matrix -the first one - but I thought the second wasn't as good and the third was worse.
Going back in time....to the 80s, I liked Diva, Sea of Love...even further back The Graduate and, yes, deary me, Easy Rider :eek:

Agree re Braveheart...what a terrible film. I love "Trainspotting", "Billy Elliot" & "Gregorys Girl"..also like the "Bourne films..supremacy etc,,,

Fav - Kind hearts & Coronets - love Alec Guiness
Also - Arsenic & Old Lace

Anything with the Marx Bros in it

Not modern but they remind me of being a little kid on wet winter Saturdays after our local flea pit cinema closed and BBC2.

Sorry but Mel Gibson is actually from the US. He moved here in his teens and then went back. So as much as Australian love to claim him, I don't. Does the film give a true account of the country side and climate though, not the story????:confused

Favourite film of all time is Braveheart.Love the bit when Wallace is on his horse and says"They can take our lives but never take our Freedom"Then Rolf Harris comes into the scene playing the didgi...didgire....diddj...one o' they long wooden poles the aborigines used to play.Then goes up to Mel and finishes painting his face and Rolf turns to the audience and says"Do you know what it is yet?"

"Aye"shouts Big Purdy fae the top of his voice fae an Airdrie cinema,"Its Mad Max....but set a long time ago":lol: :lol:

1. Shawshank Redemption

2. Field of Dreams

3. The Green Mile

Each one uplifts the human spirit (and can it be any coincidence that Steven King wrote Shawshank and Green Mile? Pure genius)

4. Harvey (James Stewart at his comedic best)

5. Twelve Angry Men

I know having five is greedy but it's a very close run thing and otherwise I'd be here all night choosing three!

I loved Braveheart and still do. The first hour is fantastic. I watched it again recently and it hasn't lost anything at all. Suspend belief for a couple of hours if you must. This is classic revenge, barnstorming battle scenes and fantastic cinematography.
Ireland looks great too !
other personal contenders....

Shawshank Redemption
Fargo
Twelve Angry Men
Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Jaws
Johnny Got His Gun
Saving Pvt.Ryan
Mrs.Miniver
Went the Day Well

Dr. Shivago - great music and Julie Christie at an impressionable age.
The first Jaws film - Again memorable music and collective jump from the whole cinema.
Borat - Still haven't stopped laughing

Please accept my humble apologies, I wouldn’t wish him on anyone. Technically the film was very good, as to the rest of it, as the saying goes, don’t let a good story get in the way of the truth.
