Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: Chubbs on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 18:45:46 Seeing as we are on the subject of films i thought i'd see what everyons top film is,
Mine is Requiem for a Dream, best film i have ever seen. Others in my top 5 include Crash/Happiness/Kids/Pi Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: sonic youth on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 18:49:42 The Big Lebowski.

Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: herthab on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 18:53:49 There's Something About Mary.
Followed by Animal House, Godfather (1 and 2, but not 3), French Connection 1, Scarface, Casino, Goodfellas, Scum, Quadrophenia, Rocky 1, Raging Bull, etc, etc, etc. Too many! Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: swindon_chick on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 18:54:20 White chicks at the moment. Narnina is also a good film as is dirty dancing.
Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: STFC Village on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 19:01:57 Tough question, but i'd probably go for The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.

Lock stock or snatch all things Tarantino Trainspotting Get Carter Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: oxford_fan on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 20:02:52 Requiem was bloody brilliant, but there's no way I could watch it again (not in the next few years anyway) - that film was painful to watch.
Crash was a bit pap, talk about ramming a message down your throat. I like La Haine, City of God, Mean Streets, Fear & Loathing, Lost in Translation, Life Aquatic Steve Zissou, Pulp Fiction, any Bruce Lee apart from game of death...not sure about a favourite though, i'll have a think Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: rudeboydreas on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 20:18:46 Dumb and Dumber :)

Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 20:24:16 Ooh tough choice. Some of my favourites have to be:
IT Raging Bull Godfather Trilogy But of course Back To The Future II would probably be the bestest :wink: Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: spacey on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 20:33:54 You're all wrong. The best film is Evil dead 2, closely followed by all Sam Raimi's other films and the original Dawn of the dead.
Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: Panda Paws on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 20:45:36 Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Fucking ace. Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 20:46:47 Quote from: "spacey" You're all wrong. The best film is Evil dead 2, closely followed by all Sam Raimi's other films and the original Dawn of the dead. We would be wrong if it was 'the best film ever' thread, but it's not.

So your favourite film would differ from what you consider the best film? How queer. Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: Chubbs on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 20:54:33 oxford fan, im the total opositte, from the first time of watching i just wanted to watch it over and over, watching it today gave me the idea for this film, i've prob watched it about 30/40 times now.
Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: sonic youth on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 20:59:33 I didn't really enjoy Requiem for a Dream. It's a good film and well directed but it's far too painful and uncomfortable to enjoy.
Some of my other favourite films... Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me Fargo Ghost World La Haine Léon Mullholland Dr Princess Mononoke Spirited Away Taxi Driver Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: Amir on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 21:08:10 I can't pick one or even make a list, as it would take forever to get it right.
Some films I have watched recently and would strongly recommend are: Tsotsi The Proposition Brick Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: Gwah on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 21:12:25 Quote from: "sonic youth" I didn't really enjoy Requiem for a Dream. It's a good film and well directed but it's far too painful and uncomfortable to enjoy. Totally agree. Ends of such a downer. And I thought Pi was a bit shit. My favourite is City Of God, but have only seen it once because I'm afraid it won't be as good second time around. Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: Spud on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 21:16:18 My favourite film: The Usual Suspects

Bogart was an ace baddie, much better than when he was the good guy. Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: red macca on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 23:05:16 Green mile for me

My favourite is City Of God, but have only seen it once because I'm afraid it won't be as good second time around. thats why i liked it, i hate films which all have a fairy tale ending. I gave it a spin for the 2nd time last week, the first was a random channel flick through sky and had no idea it was actually Requiem. Feel like I’ve missed something on both occasions now though, as I had it down as average at best. Aside from the overall downer, granny on speed and the obvious double dildo fun what is it that got you hooked, or have I answered my own question there? ‘Best’ film for me has to be Clive Barker’s original Hellraiser. Brilliantly lifted from the book and the best modern horror film in terms of atmosphere and originality. Coincidently he’s writing a follow-up that cuts all of the franchised sequel crap out of the saga.

Quite a violent for a 1932 film too. George Raft is good in it too - best thing about him was that he used to hang out with real life mobsters and thought he was the bees kness. Great cinema.

Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Thursday, January 18, 2007, 10:50:16 Police Academy 6, closely followed by 3 and then 7.
Title: Whats your favorite film Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, January 18, 2007, 10:51:35 Quote from: "spacey" You're all wrong. The best film is Evil dead 2, closely followed by all Sam Raimi's other films and the original Dawn of the dead. But Evil Dead 2 doesn't have the tree rape of Evil Dead 1 or the crazy medieval english dessert adventure of Evil Dead 3. 'tis pretty good though. Babe 2 (Babe: Pig in the City) is an underated masterpiece. The unexpected return of ferdinand just topped it off for me.

I watched irreversable a little while ago after months of searching for it and i was a tad bit dissapointed, i could see where it was going but all the horrific stuff happened in the first half and hour and by the end of the film you had kinda forgotten about it due to it being backwards, still very horrific.
