Shawshank Redemption and 2 Fast 2 Furious. Not sure which is better they're both fantastic.

[richz_nova]

Batman the dark knight (feckin love that)
shawshank
dead mans shoes
inception
shutter island

[mowgli]

carry on up the khyber.
the road warrior(mad max 2)
young frankenstein
jungle book
blues brothers

they are films that i can watch again & again for my own reasons.

but i agree on the sentiment that there are simply too many films...

there are some great films that simply aren't famous, but would make my list

oscar (stallone comedy)
matinee (it never got a cinema release in the uk)
raising arizona
leningrad cowboys go america
son of rambow

then there are films you wouldn't put on in polite company

bad santa
dude where's my car
boogie nights
life of brian
theres something about mary

then 80's movies

back to the future
ferris buellers day off
uncle buck
weekend at bernies
ghost busters

then hitman films

grosse point blank
leon
the day of the jackal (original)
munich
nikita

french films

amelie
jean de florette/manon des sources
cyrano de bergerac
delicatessen
m. hulot's holiday (which was mercilessly robbed for the mr. bean sequel)

car chase films

bourne trilogy
ronin
italian job
driver
vanishing point

racing films are much harder, cos most are crap

but the lemans & grand prix films have some good action scenes in them

i'm pinning my hopes on the new 'rush' film about hunt & lauda in '76


and i haven't even got onto sci-fi, horror etc...

[L33 LEG]

Greatest film is easy for me - American Gangster.

Picking a top 5 though is pretty impossible but would have at least another Denzel film in it.

[Southie]

No particular order as I have loads of favourites:

Easy Rider
Coming to America
Smokey and the Bandit
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Donnie Darko

[mowgli]

american gangster is so long, i ran out of time when watching it... its about 4 hrs long

[turbojolt]

american gangster is so long, i ran out of time when watching it... its about 4 hrs long

your not wrong me and my bird watched it over two days same as IT lol

[L33 LEG]

It's not that long lol

[L33 LEG]

your not wrong me and my bird watched it over two days same as IT lol

IT, as in the clown IT? lol Jesus that brings back some memories, i couldnt turn a tap on through my childhood after watching that! Scared the crap out of me when i was about 4/5 or whenever it was.

[mowgli]

IT? the one with the scary clown?? that was a mini series, wasn't it?...

i love reading books & then get really disappointed at the film adaptations.... silence of the lambs put the bejesus up me & the film had to cut corners to make it 2hrs long, and was nowhere near as good (seriously, even though anthony hopkins made everyone's skin crawl)

i will never watch 'hannibal' having read the book, it has some horrific imagery that i don't want to see made into pictures. it involves killing & eating of young children..

[Southie]

Another 5 I've thought of lol :
Taxi Driver
Herbie [any of them lol]
Star Wars the original
Scarface
Death race 2000 [the original is worth the watch just for the cheese factor lol]

[turbojolt]

yer the film with the clown scared me **** less as a kid aswell bought it in cex the other week, went in to get some british gangster films that were recommended on here and left with IT and all the nightmare on elms street films lol

[L33 LEG]

I dont even think i could watch IT now lol

[turbojolt]

I dont even think i could watch IT now lol

it brought back all the same felling as watching it as a kid my bird was watching it for the first time and kept going on about how **** it was and how fake everything looked, clearly scared me mentally lol


lookingn forward to the elm street films now aswell as i had nightmears for years as a kid after watching them aswell lol

[L33 LEG]

Ye i agree, i would probably be more scared of the thoughts i used to have rather than the actual film now, next time im in town il see if hmv have it.

[Lynsey]

Gran Torino, "get off my lawn" lol

Our Clint has mass sex appeal though :wisewood:

[novadave24]

Fast Furious all of them

murder in the first
vanishing point (original)

[L33 LEG]

mowgli was right 10 mins of being a 3hr film (american gangster)

He said 4 hours lol Anyway that's a perfect length of film imo, under 2 hours goes too quickly if it's a good film.

[gteben]

He said 4 hours lol Anyway that's a perfect length of film imo, under 2 hours goes too quickly if it's a good film.
that is a very good point . thats why i watch lord of the rings and titanic (i mean watching a boat sink for 3 hours it my way of getting asleep )

[mowgli]

i only watched titanic to see kate winslets knockers...they were ok, but i'm glad i didn't shell out for cinema tickets to see them
the rest of the film was crap...

james cameron hasn't done a good film in decades (the abyss), but the visual spectacle of titanic or smurfs in space (avatar) is impressive, yet the films themselves are poor, with non-existant stories & characterisations

[Bubba]

which gone in 60 seconds? there are two

i cant really pick an all time greatest, but i have to agree with many of the ones in here

Green Mile
Shawshank
Forrest Gump
Inception
Indiana Jones
Starwars
Alien
Predator
Terminator 1&2
Snatch
Lock Stock
LOTR
etc

[brainsnova]

Princess Mononoke
LOTR
Ghost in the shell

[Jim Mcrae]

[Mrs Hobbit]

Bio dome
Empire records
Leon

Arg, I thought I had mine sorted then for a min until I saw this.

I'm going to rule out repeating the ones people have already mentioned, I agree with at least 1 from every list. But it really is difficult to name my top 5 when it has a tendency to flow with the mood I am in lol

[novait]

Bad boys
Sixth sence
And loads loads more

[mowgli]

Twin town. As it hasn't been mentioned.

thats cos its crap. lol

[novadave24]

come on you cant say that ant funny ok some bits bit boring but it is a good one .

[mowgli]

not seen it, but its done by family guy bloke, so there will be embarassing pauses, odd repetitions & generally things that must have looked funny on the page, but didn't necessarily translate to the screen.....with occasionally hilarious bits..

[Stuart]

Cockneys vs zombies looks like its got,winning potential

[mowgli]

Cockneys vs zombies looks like its got,winning potential
