Favourite Films

**BoomShackerLacker** · 11-07-2009, 09:00

Revolutionary Road with Winslett and DiCaprio... stomach churningly watchable and grimly truthful.

**Rocketeer** · 13-07-2009, 22:02

the Hurt Locker -

surprised and delighted with the film.. done in docudrama style... no big names [well a couple, but they get blowed up reel good near the beginning ]..

might have to add it to my collection when its released on DVD..ashamed to admit a US War Film seems to be accurate and done right ..complete with realistic explosions.. not one Bruckheimer moment in it...

With regard to your preference in porn films I can only say that your taste is in your mouth.

DDD is one of the best - they all have terrible music and hair but faces like smashed crabs - wash your mouth out. :P

One of my favourites, Once Upon a Time in America, is to be released on Blu-Ray. Although I already have the collectors edition on DVD this is something I'll definitely be getting.

Any other fans of OUATIA out there?

Brilliant film by a brilliant director with a brilliant actor on his top form. Also have the collectors edition on DVD.

Attempting to limit myself to a top 10 has been like pulling teeth, but here goes, with a bit of rationale as to why.

1. Lord of the Rings trilogy - Love the books, and its the best adaptation I've seen from page to screen.
2. The Last Emperor - Amazing story of Pu Yi, China's last 'royal', plus Bertolucci directed it.
3. Cinema Paradiso - Wonderful story, plus I love art house cinema
4. Shawshank Redemption - Best escape movie ever :D
5. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - the two hottest guys ever on the big screen

:D
6. The English Patient - great story
7. Indochine - Catherine Deneuve, one of the best actresses, plus a great movie
8. Life of Brian - funniest movie, especially after a hard day at the office
9. Rear Window - I love anything by Hitchcock
10. The Killing Fields - for once a war story told through civilian eyes, and a brilliant story of survival, not victimhood.
