In regards to "best" vs "favourite", I prefer to go with favourite when it comes to the arts. How is any movie the "best"? If you say favourite, no one can argue with you. It's what you like and enjoy. Some people might think you have terrible taste or that you are a moron, but you still can't argue with what someone says is their "favourite".

 

My favourites are the ones I can watch again and again:

 

The Matrix

The Big Lebowski

Rushmore

Blade Runner

Fargo

Taxi Driver

Aliens

The Usual Suspects

Withnail & I

Trainspotting 

Withnail & l reminds me of a story a mate told me a while back. He loves the film and took the long trek up to Yorkshire, where I believe it is set, to visit a cafe or something similar that is in the movie. Once he got there he was told that particular scene was shot in Northampton. He was living in Northampton at the time apparently.

Anything from the eighties with Eddie Murphy in it (except the Golden Child) and carry on camping 

The Golden Child was great! Weirdly, I had a dream that Charles Dance was giving me acting advice last night. I'm not an actor but it was nice of him to do that.

I love The Green Mile. Tom Hanks is such a great actor, probably one of my fave films so I would put that up there.

 

People are saying The Godfather, I actually watched the 1st Godfather for the first time at the weekend. Didn't watch it all though but couldn't see the big fascination with it. Maybe if I watched it when it was first released :dunno:

 

Really like Leo DiCaprio as an actor also, Blood Diamond, Inception and Shutter Island were brilliant

 

You know what though, for a 33 year old man I love animated films. They can be so good with clever writing, Bee Movie is really witty lol.

 

The beginning of Lego Batman is f****** awesome, and the ending of Toy Story 3 brought the cinema to floods of tears.

Some great movies mentioned. For me they'd have to be:

 

- Casino, I can still hear the sound of an aluminium baseball bat hitting a person, frightening. 

- Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon is good too.

- Life of Brian, hilarious.

 

I am looking forward to my kids being old enough to watch all the Star Wars and Bond movies with me.

I've always been a bit "meh" about Star Wars. I've seen some of them and they're ok but not my cup of tea I guess

 

The other genre of film I have zero interest in is anything remotely super hero related - Spiderman, Avengers etc - I'm sure there's some great movies (judging by colleagues etc going on about them), but I'm just not interested

You know what's a great film even though I hate Mel Gibson?  Apocalypto.  Probably not on many people's favourite lists but every time I watch it I get hooked.  Old Gibbo is like Morriseey for me..... an absolute nob end but a talented one.

 

Also, Misery.  X

Apocolypto is a great film and your spot on about Mel. Braveheart is also decent.

As is Hacksaw Ridge.  He is a great actor and director.  Just a shame about the nob headed anti semitism 'n' that.  X

Apocalypto is a film where you literally spend 1/2 of it sat on the edge of your seat.

Yeah, I really love a truly tense film and there aren't actually that many.  I like to feel physically uncomfortable at all times.  X

To be fair I was only 9 or something when i watched it so I’ll give it another go next time it’s ITV 2 ?
