The Green Mile - And this one
Braveheart - Brilliant
Amelie - Beautiful film
The Royal Tenenbaums (sp) - Excellent, not that well known
Empire Strikes Back - Legendary
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation - Funny as feck, Clark Griswald is the man

"Why is it that some teams has triangular corner flags, and some teams have square corner flags?"

off the top of my head & in no particular order...

ghostbusters  8)
back to the future II
seven
cool runnings
the goonies
dont be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood (longest film title ever?!)
beverly hills cop
men in black
the mask
napoleon dynamite

That film is well funny, remember watchin it when my sister was at Swansea uni, reinforcing my opinion that wales is one of the least pleasant places on earth.

Mate Braveheart's quality, got the love story in there, comedy, the political angle, the decent fighting scenes, the happy ending (for you English), although it did not have the desired effect...

"In the year of our Lord 1314, patriots of Scotland, starving and outnumbered, charged the fields of Bannockburn.  They fought like warrior poets, they fought like Scotsmen and won their freedom....

...forever"

 :P Sorry Sade, but I have got to say it ,your top ten sounds like tantamount to torture to me!

But I dare say mine is not exactly most peoples choice of viewing either.

alba gu brath!

Trainspotting - Who doesn't like this?
IT - Terrified me as a kid. Still my favourite horror film.
Goodfellas - Ray Liotta running around hurting people and stuff.
The Godfather Trilogy - Can't believe nobody has mentioned these! (I know it's 3 but I'm cheating).
The Matrix - Original film was amazing. The others were wank.
Empire Strikes Back - Fighting in space.
Pulp Fiction - Classic Tarantino.
Raging Bull - The best boxing film ever.
American History X - Great film. Sickening images.
A Clockwork Orange - Portrayal of the fucked up society we all live in.
Duel - Spielberg's film about a madman truck driver chasing an innocent man. Original film and the idea has been nicked by many other films (especially Jeepers Creepers)

Others worth a mention:

Columbo: How to dial a murder
Training Day
Withnail & I
Get Carter
The Italian Job
Swordfish
Rocky
Jackie Chan's: Who am I?

I forgot American history X - brutal but masivlly powerful.

Jan - "You'll never take our Freedom" well, we did and you got executed mate. Bet you feel a bit silly in the afterlife now :soapy tit wank:

i've never seen Trainspotting  :oops: or Goodfellas  :oops:

and Good Will Hunting is one of your favourite films

dam right. Quality film.

i've started to watch Goodfellas but it was on late and i fell asleep.

Another film no one has said HEAT 8)

That is where you are wrong Mr Piemonte, the english did not take the Scots' freedom.  To this day Scotland is a country, seperate from England, so Wallace and co did a pretty good job.

"Alba gu brath" indeed SY.

Yes but the English still set your laws (well, most of them since devoltion and the inception of the Scottish Parliament) although quite why Scottish MP's still get a vote at Westmister is beyond me.

I'd just nuke the whole fucking country if I were in charge, skirts, hagis and all :wink:  :mrgreen:

PM born in Scotland, Chancellor - Scottish, yeah, the English make all the rules.  

Let's just be happy together, together we are strong!!  As the Irish say.

I'd agree that having a tight fisted scot as chancellor is a fundementally sound idea :wink:

Dumb & Dumberer is probably the sequel ever Sade, Gabrielle Union who's in Bring It On is very nice indeed.  :wink:

Old skool... :advercool:

No votes for The Greatest Film of All Time-namely "The Deer Hunter".

I don't really watch many films, so will struggle to get ten. The best i can do is: (in no order)

Italian Job
Happy Gilmore
Life of Brian
Star Wars
Saving Private Ryan
Amelie
Shaun of the Dead

I need to get round to buying ID on DVD

 :nod:

I'll have to make the effort to watch Amelie and Hotel Rwanda this weekend.

Bought them, but just not got round to watching them. Could well influence my top ten.

I think you'll like Amelie, you're a big soppy romantic really aren't you?

Hotel Rwanda is fantastic.

I forgot Human Traffic, so I now have 8.

I fell asleep during that, dull as dishwater! Although, Chris Walken is a legend

Shame-you missed a good'un.My other 9 would be Deliverance,Platoon,Southern Comfort,Down By Law,Steve Zissou,Fargo,O Brother Where Art Thou,Godfather,One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

OH shit i forgot Once Were Warriors
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/compo71/En_gang_var_vi_krigere1.jpg
I think prob the best film ever, not for the violence, but for emotion/impact/reality

Godafther 3 was a bit shit but it did tie the whole trilogy up quite well. I tend to look at the 3 films as one rather than seperate entities.

Some thoughts for some older stuff.

Dr. Stranglove is worth viewing if you haven't seen it.  

A Japanese movie called Ran is incredible (a cast of thousands, literally).

Lawerence of Arabia, the mirage scene is worth seeing the entire movie for.

Incredible Lightness of Being (full frontal artistic smut).

Bananas, Woody Allen, early stuff really took the piss out of the establishment.

Young Frankenstein, the props were the same ones from the Boris Karloff era (apparantly found in a garage), great cast including Marty Feldman, extremely funny.

Any Will Hay movie, like "Oh Mr Porter," incredibly old but Will Hay was a comic genius.

Catch 22, good rendition of the book's dark humour.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the Black Knight is cinematic history.

and finally,

The Life of Brian, great gladiatorial, and science fiction, scenes.

Dazzzzzzza thats not nice :( I'm not into boring geeky confusing films like you lot are,I like the simple funny ones :wink:

Does no-one like this film?

http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00009Z4L7.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Or is it just me?  :oops:

Just watched it. Thanks for knackering my hardman macho persona.
