What's your favourite film?

Gayle · 01-10-2005, 13:26

Flicked on the TV this morning and one of my all time favourite films was on - The Goodbye Girl. I couldn't help myself - even though I have it on video and could watch it any time I wanted - I still found myself watching it.

Other films to get me in the same way

Sense and Sensibility - I end up crying whether I've switched on right at the beginning or just caught the last ten minutes.
Four Weddings and a Funeral - can't help myself, I think Hugh Grant's lovely.

and, the surprise choice

Terminator - a bit different from the others but still compulsive viewing.

What hooks you in the same way?

An Officer and a Gentleman, Quadrophenia, Dirty Danceing, Beetlejuice, Grease

I'm the same! I have them on DVD but still watch them when they are on TV. I have also been known to watch Officer and A Gentleman on TV then thought, I really enjoyed that, so I put the DVD on and sat through it again. Now that's devotion to Mr Gere

Mine used to be Kodacolour, but with almost everything being digital now I don't suppose it really matters.

Mine has to be “calamity Jane”. I know it’s an old film but somehow I still enjoy watching it.
Good old Doris Day.

West Ender · 01-10-2005, 20:27

Well, Len, I wanted to look just like Doris Day when I was 14. Sadly, for me, I didn't.

My favourite film has got to be "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart. I can watch it over and over again and still love it. I also often watch "The Glenn Miller Story" on video. Being an ardent Miller fan and loving Jimmy Stewart it has everything I want, notwithstanding the fact that most of it is made-up and just didn't happen that way.

Talking of old films classic ones at that im a lover of Jimmi Dean & rebel without a cause fantastic film

I've just seen my favourite film is on the BBC tonight, Death in Venice with Dirk Bogarde. A masterpiece of cinema, and a sound track to die for featuring some fantastic music by Mahler. I have my striped bathing suit and my staw boater ready to watch it in tonight. Sadly l'm now more like the dirty old man than Tazzio the beautiful boy.

Second fave film Caberet. Liza divine.
