Saving Private Ryan
But I've been watching Guardians of the galaxy movies with the grandchildren and I absolutely love them all. The only reason they're not on is because I've not seen any at the cinema.

 

Inglorious Basterds
The Big Short
Goodfellas
Catch me if you can
T2
Aliens
Back to the future
Drive
Society of the snow
Cast away

That is just off the top of my head, but I always find this a very hard question to answer.

 

The Man Who Would be King

 

Breakfast Club
Trainspotting
Donnie Darko
Hot Fuzz
Spike Island
Green Mile
Casino Royale

Just a random selection but a difficult question to answer, will change frequently.

 

Spike Island, I’d forgotten about that but would be in amongst mine as well.

 

Abre los Ojos (not the Hollywood remake)

District 9

Pan's Labyrinth

El Brigadista

Soy Cuba (a masterpiece loved by scorsese. Check the funeral scene. Filmed by a comrade attached to a cable by a vest with hooks on it and hauled along! Yowsa! )

Terminator and Terminator 2 when they first came out at the cinema.

Dark Star - brilliant. A philosophical argument with a talking bomb. Love it.

Bad Taste - Peter Jackson's directorial debut and by far his best imo. Jaw dropping.



Dumbo - Saw this at the cinema aged about 5. Aw man the part where they take his mum away and she's waving her trunk out of the bars of the prison van and a big tear rolls down Dumbo's cheek. Heartbreaking. When you're 5 anyway. Just as well they gave him psychedelic class A drugs where he had violent multicolour hallucinations and even thought he could fly.

 

Jaws
Saving Private Ryan
Twelve Angry Men
Terminator 2
Falling Down
Alien

I considered se7en but it's soooo dark,....and THAT ending

 

Good call on Close Encounters. How that slipped my mind I don't know.

 

Close Encounters is a great shout.
Casino Royale - 2006, not the 1967 mess.

Scent of a Woman
Where Eagles Dare
Caddyshack
Animal House
The Untouchables
Southern Comfort
Shawshank Redemption
In Bruges

The last 2 are Danish films with Mads Mikkelsen, both are brilliant IMO, they are sometimes on Film 4 late at night so catch em if you can.

 

In Bruges is a cracking film. Cheers for the heads up on the two Danish films, I'll look out for those.

 

Another Round is scheduled to be on Film 4 at 01.20 in the morning on Tuesday 2nd July so set your recorder!
