I loved the Dark Knight, think its a great film, not least due to Ledgers performance as the Joker. Other than that my favourites are all the stereotypical Lot like Shawshank, Saving Private Ryan and Forest Gump. Think Black Hawk Down and Snatch are brilliant too. Also grew up with all the Pixar films so Toy Story (all 3) and Monsters Inc are up there too.

I say ever seen, and not just "ever", because no one has seen every single film ever made so therefore can make that judgement.

So far in my film watching career, my favourite film has to be Forrest Gump. An all time classic, a beautiful story told in a fascinating, hilarious and brilliant manour. Films that are up there with it in my eyes are:

Shutter Island
The Green Mile
Die Hard (The first one abviously, the rest were dog shit)
Shawshank Redemption
12 Angry Men
The Usual Suspects
Django Unchained

That's just to name a few of my sloppy seconds, it was hard to pick my favourite, but having a bit of a think about it, Forrest Gump is one of the only films I'm happy to watch over and over, and still enjoy it every time, not many films can do that to me, in fact it's probably the only one.

IMBD says Shawshank Redmption is the best film of all time, bitch please, it's up there I admit that but not number one?!

hahahhahaha Forrest Gump??!! that pile of right wing saccharine horsesh1t that beat Pulp Fiction to the oscar??!!

honestly unless you are some kind of patriotic yank find it hard to understand how you can like it

oh and the 'best' film ever i.e. my fav is Life of Brian

Opinions, opinions.

I really enjoyed it, and it's in the top 20 films of all time on IMBD for a reason! Oh, and yes it won an oscar, for a reason!

 

[joeywortho]

yes el socko fully agree, all so subjective

I do recoil a bit at talk of 'best albums/films etc' just as I dont understand the concept of a guilty pleasure

If you like something you like something

having said aaaall that though, that pile of poo beating pulp fiction is maybe as laughable as dances with wolves beating goodfellas

[BBassic]

If we're talking favourite film then Ghostbusters, hands down.

Best film? Jurassic Park. No question. When I saw that in the cinema at the age of 8 my tiny little mind was blown away. It was for me, as I'm sure it was for others of my age, the 'Star Wars' moment. Never seen anything like it before and I knew films would not be the same again.

 

[Mad as my Mother]

There is no way I could say just one so here's a few of my fav's

Amores Perros
City of God
OldBoy
Pulp Fiction
Life of Brian
True Romance
Kill Bill
Leon
Snatch
Carlito's way
Platoon

If you like those films which mess with your head then i recommend Memento and The Game as two lesser known ones.

Two great shouts.
