Killjoy...! If you're in the right frame of mind it's a hoot!
No. It really isn't. I recorded it months and months ago, and recently, finding myself in the right mood, I watched it. It was abominable! I'm all for psychedelic, but it was just dire.I am aware, and glad, that people all like different things, and I'd never tell them they shouldn't. But you really shouldn't enjoy Barbarella

Barbarella
Oh, come on!
;)
So many to chose from, so hers 5 plucked from my head:
Top gun
Pulp fiction
Cool runnings
Black hawk down
Saving private ryan.
Oh and snatch, and lock stock. s
t thats 7
I dont have a best list as such, more so a list of films i will never tire of watching even after 10/20 times. Not much in the last decade i can say that for though, the wolf of wall street perhaps.
Also there is films which were just epic for their time in terms of cgi and production. Obviously we are spoiled rotten by effects these days but watched jurrasic park the oter day and was still suprised by how good it looked.

All the posters listing 20 or 30 films are missing the point. That's too easy. We could all do that. Giving it some thought and reasoning, that's the hard part.
Favourites? I've too many to name.
I can only list films that have made an impression on me that has persevered. I don't expect anyone to agree with these but they are personal to me and that's important because they have shaped my viewing habits to this day.
Bugsy Malone - The best kids film ever (To this day I still want a splurge gun).
Blazing Saddles - Introduced me to comedy films. (With an honourable mention to Airplane for the same reason).
Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid - Introduced me to westerns. (And probably the film I've watched most in my life).
The Usual Suspects - The twist that shocked the entire cinema I was in, into utter silence. Nothing else has ever done that. (Possibly my favourite of the bunch).
Mesrine - Introduced me to foreign cinema (which I now love) and opened my eyes to what I'd been missing.

Just thought of another..
Me too. An honourable mention please for Hear My Song about the Irish lad trying to run a musical hall in Liverpool. A big section of the film is him back in Ireland trying to find an act he's promised everyone. In one scene he's with James Nesbit as a down-at-heel theatrical agent with a Morris Traveller."Jesus, you're a terrible driver."
"You should see me when I'm on me own."
"I'd like to be with you when you're on your own."
The lead character is played by Adrian Dunbar who doesn't spring to mind as a comedy actor but he was funny in that. Wow, just looked him up; he co-wrote it. Better still.

horsest. For me I gave reason and thought to every film I posted and everyone would is one I've rewatched. OP wanted inspiration and no indication as to what he liked. I posted films that touch me in some way.Halb said:

Really? You posted a list of over 200 films. Can you not narrow it down at all? Perhaps a little closer to a top 5? t.

Charming.t.I see you've put as much thought into your reply as you have your list.
as charming as being told why and what I do things for, and you got it wrong, again.I merely voiced an opinion (one that others share by the look of it) and I didn't swear.
