Being an old fart, I'm not too enamoured with too many modern films (and to think of it not that many old ones either) but several that I never tire of are "The Usual Suspects" and "The Shawshank Redemption".

Old films there are a few, like the original "Pelham 123" and, being soppy, "Singing in the Rain".

But over to you. What are the films you can watch time and again?

Eh bah gum, you've come up with some crackers lads. I forgot Vanishing Point when I first posted, but you've amongst you included many I hadn't really thought about but agree with. We do giggle these days at our advanced ages that we might as well have bought a B&W tv though, such is our love of the old stuff. Any of the 2nd WW films, and does anyone watch BBC2 early on a Saturday or Sunday morning these days?

I forgot these two:-

"Being There" with Peter Sellers. So damned funny I split my sides, (and so damned true too) along with:-

"The Producers", or as it is described "A springtime romp with Adolf and Eva at the Berchtesgarden".

I saw the latter when it opened on the stage in London, and the image of the pigeon giving the Nazi salute brought the house down. A Mel Brooks classic. If you haven't, you must.

Watched Groundhog Day for the umpteenth day yesterday. I keep seeing references here to other films, but surprised that Zulu has few mentions. Perhaps the age gap of course.
