Favourite films of all time

[tonyp]

Great films listed here, no problem with any of them, but if one was stuck on a rock for all eternity with only one film to watch what would it be ? Probably an Ealing comedy like 'The Maggie' ....

Or Dune

Or Grand prix / lemans / Rendevous (all 6 minutes of V12 music)

Need to think a bit about this ....

[brado]

In no particular order

Star Wars

The Great Escape

Jaws

The Italian Job (original version)

Bullet

Top Gun

Enter the Dragon

The Magnificent Seven

Ghost (but dont tell anyone)

Airplane

[WayneB]

The man who would be king.

Das Boot.

Blade Runner.

Movies about car racing always seem to end up all corny and crap, but for the cars alone Le Mans takes some beating.

Das Boot? Wow.....are you old or something Wayne?

[USAndretti42]

Wayne, would that be the 149 minute version as originally released or the full 5 hour version? You certainly know how to get value for money.

Just like Kimbers who put 2 films and a trilogy in his top 3.

[speedster9110]

The man who would be king

The fisher king

Lemans

Thomas Crown Affair (Org & Brosnan)

and lately... if looks could kill

seen here:

[Setras]

Dune!!!

2001/2010

Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Young Guns (yoohoo I'll make u famous!)

Check the sci-fi/Fantasy geek

Thought your line up would include my favorite "forbidden planet"

also ST first contact

and non sci fi "the outsiders"

Heat - It's on now too and the post 'job gone wrong' gunfight is happening, amazing nice and loud on a Bose surround system

De Niro and Pacino in a film together, that's just too much!

[simonf]

No Simon, "BLUES BROTHERS"!!!!!!

No Italian Job - any film that has a Lamboughin Muira giving it the berries through the Italia Alps and then being smashed up into a large piece of plant hire has got to be better than yankie cop cars being driven through a shopping mall! Granted it is a very good film abd probably still hold the record for the most smashed cars in one scene but it lacks the finesse my friend!

Bibs i am with you mate best shoot out ever!

I always thought i was the only film that they ever star in togesther but of course they starred together in Godfater ii. Only problem is there are no proper cars in it! At least there was an S8 in ronin

If only the good the bad and the ugly had Lambo's and G cars in it!!!!
