I tried to do this but I'm hamstrung by the fact I don't really watch films, but my favourite is City of God - which is so much better than any other film I've seen that everything else just seems a bit crap.

# Trois couleurs: Bleu-I suspect you're just showing off there

I can never trust the ratings of anyone who likes this.

I can tell you - so far - none of you seem to understand the difference between 'good' and 'bad'.

[*]Flight of the Navigator - good but a kids film! although i would like that spaceship

[*]Gremlins - puppet film ok but not as good as critters 2

[*]When Saturday Comes - ?

[*]Goal - are u having a fooking laff?

[*]Speed - ok not brillaint i can appreciate it as a good film for the 90's but it looks dated now

[*]Romy and Michelle - ?

[*]Trois couleurs: Bleu - better than most

[*]The Ring - another shitty jap film that the yanks have redone, horror films are crap and churned out nowerdays

[*]Godfather Trilogy - at last a good film on the list, number 2 is clearly the best, if u like GF watch once upon a time in america

[*]Monsters Inc. - i hope u r joking, all disney films are crap, although john goodman is a legend

[*]The Incredibles - shit

[*]The first Star Wars Trilogy (old) - empire is the best, what the new star wars films lack is han solo

[*]The second Star Wars Trilogy (new) read above

[*]The Mexican - hilarious, the crazy dog makes it worth watching

[*]Hot Fuzz - average but it is good to uk films out there, although most of the money came from the us for it

[*]The Full Monty - **** shit

[*]Bridget Jones Diary - shit

[*]I Robot - yeah it's great, that is if you work for converse, shamefull film

[*]The Terminator - modern classic

[*]Brokeback Mountain - average love story that we are made to think is great becuse its a story about same sex relationships

[*]American Beauty - great film kevin spacey is a brill actor, and sam mendes is a great director and he is a brit

[*]Fight Club - its ok but its one of those films that people say they like to sound cool

[*]Blue Velvet - there a film, dennis hopper what a nutter

There are loads of great films out there my favourite films are the ones that get you thinking, 2001 a space odessey is a classic, leon is a great film as is duel. i really like old zombie films as well. i hear romero is bringing out a new one called diary of the dead this year.

THERE SHOULD BE A FILM FORUM, SOMEBODY MAKE IT HAPPEN

I went to see both Monsters Inc & The Incredibles with the kids fearing the worst. I have to say that they are both truly great films that work on several levels. For you who haven't seen them borrow a copy on DVD you won't regret it.

Daggers is a weird one, he probabley hates the Godfather and Terminator 2 but likes the Incredibles.

Fight Club I would give a 8 out of 10. It is a really good film don't get me wrong, but it is slightly over rated in my honest & possibly slightly harsh opinion. But still an epic & well worth a watch!

Favourite film of all time has to be one called True Romance (its not a soppy love story I promise). This film is Quentine Tarentino at his apsolute best. If you liked Pulp Fiction, Kill bill etc.. then you have to watch this.

Favourite war film.. I would have to say "Enemy at the gate". This film has its critics but I actually love it. Its not your classic Saving Private Ryan or Thin red line (Also great war films by the way) but still really gripping & different to your average war film.

Favourite horror is Scream (old classic).

Finally I'm not sure if these count as sci-fi there sort of a thriller type movies but they are Donnie Darko & the Butterfly effect both fairly simlilar genre of movie not sure what they are classed as though.

I tried to do this but I'm hamstrung by the fact I don't really watch films, but my favourite is City of God - which is so much better than any other film I've seen that everything else just seems a bit crap.

A great film. I wasn't so sure when I found out it was all in Spanish with Sub-tittles. But once I started watching it, it was emmence! :thumbup:

The correct answers were:

[*]Flight of the Navigator : 6 super fun

[*]Gremlins : 7 Groundbreaking

[*]When Saturday Comes : 3 Sean Bean plays for Sheffield United - it's shite

[*]Goal : 6 probably the best footy film going...which shows what an awful genre it is

[*]Speed : 1 People that make films like this should be shot

[*]Romy and Michelle : 2 Spawned a whole you know, like, whatever genre

[*]Trois couleurs: Bleu : 2 Tedious arty crap only appreciated by those who think films should be painful to watch

[*]The Ring : 8 Best horror I've seen since The Evil Dead

[*]Godfather Trilogy : 10, 6, 6 accordingly proving that trilogies should never be made*

[*]Monsters Inc. : 9 Outstanding script and unbelievable use of computer-generated physics

[*]The Incredibles : 10 The best kids film I've ever seen

[*]The first Star Wars Trilogy (old) : 8, 4, 7

[*]The second Star Wars Trilogy (new) : 3, 4, 5 Oh dear - such a dreadful exhibition of corpse-****ing

[*]The Mexican : 8 a thoroughly enjoyable and well-scripted romp

[*]Hot Fuzz : 8 which would have been higher had it not tailed off towards the end

[*]The Full Monty : 2 the British film industry prostituting itself to the OK-reading generation

[*]Bridget Jones Diary : 2 the British film industry prostituting itself to the OK-illiterate generation

[*]I Robot : 5 yet another blockbuster that was all eye candy and nothing else, pissing on the grave of Isaac Asimov

[*]The Terminator : 7 Showed that aliens don't just come for some light show on a mountain top

[*]Brokeback Mountain : Has anyone seen this film? I've not met one (and I have a number of gay friends) :dunno:

[*]American Beauty : 10 It's in my top films of all time list

[*]Fight Club : 10 and so is this one

[*]Blue Velvet : 8 a Lynch masterpiece and almost watchable

Favourite film of all time : way too many to list but Close Encounters of the Third Kind and City of God are both works of unadulterated genius

*except Lord of the Rings
