What is the BEST film you've ever seen?

[withdeanwombat]

It's the return of the Shawshank Redemption thread, isn't it ?

 

[Durlston]

Most of my favourite films are horror that are very dark and disturbing. The Omen series are all good, Silence Of The Lambs, Night Of The Living Dead, Psycho, The Shining, The Blair Witch Project for it's psychological edge, Halloween, Copycat, Hellraiser but the best has to be The Exorcist - still like to watch that stoned with the volume very loud. Absolutely bloody terrifying.

Shawshank Redemption?
Sleuth?
Gattaca?
Sleeper?
The Usual Suspects?
Tampopo?

Too tough. No idea.

My favourite films are:
Hot Fuzz - It has me in stitches every time I watch it even though it is one of my most watched films.
The Rocky trilogy (apart from Balboa).
I can't decide between the two for the number 1 spot though.

 

[Gullys Cats]

Cast away

My favourite ever film scene. Starman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33SRo5oE_NI

ooh, you soppy so and so.



must watch that film again, it's smashing and I have it on glorious VHS somewhere ........... probably with Simon Bates giving the SP on film classification .......

and while I'm here thanks for the recommendation of 'August Rush' that you made a year or so ago. Absolutely not my kind of thing but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Surely the 2 best films ever are The Goonies and Big Trouble in Little China?!

 

[Jesus Gul]

Do the Cinematic Highlights from Donnie game count?

 

[Arnois2]

Goodfellas & Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

 

[Mr Smggles]

That is why it is so great. People have different interpretations. For me when the spinning top was just about to fall at the end before it finished alluded to me the reality he thought he was in, was not infact reality after all. As I said, still in level 2.

My impression was that the spinning top was not his Totem but actually his Wife's and that his was his wedding ring.

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Inception is a head****. They went 4 deep and when they came around I believe they were only still at 2 deep and not back in reality. My take, anyway. It is truely a superb film.

Yes the answer was in the spinning top at the end....fantastic film

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Surely Life of Brian or airplane have to win the comedy award!

 

[Return of the Rev]

Honestly Douglas Deep, a search on After Thomas took me to this film composer's page!
