In Time?

I don't normally slag off other people's film choices as it's so subjective. But In Time?!

I remember watching it. I do. Because it's possibly the worst film I've ever seen. The concept was great, everything else about it was truly terrible. Plot, acting, storyline (hey, great concept let's not have a clue what to do with it). So so excruciatingly bad which is why I remember it so well.

And I usually like Timberlake as well.

 

[Wellesley]

Inglourious Basterds.
Pulp fiction
Jaws
Godfather
Plane, trains and automobiles
True romance
Avatar (beautiful in 3D)
Back to the future
Zulu
Deliverance
E. T.
Kevin and Perry Go Large.

Edit: Probably should have added City Slickers in there somewhere.

Edit 2: should definitely have put 'Nightcrawler'in there high up the list. This isn't easy!

In time is ok not a bad film at all but for a brit film the present finding your feet is a very decent film, far better for me

It's way too difficult to pick a top 12 so I just thought of 12 films that I could happily watch over and over again. There's loads more but these will do.
