OK, leading on from 'worst film' how about favourite, as opposed to best.  I expect we've done this before but never mind.  I confess my favourite film is probably Star Wars (the original, AKA 'A New Hope').

Star Wars is a superb film.


Jaws has to be up there too.


However my favourite film is 12 Angry men.  The Henry Fonda version.

12 Angry men?   Never heard of it.  I think Pulp Fiction was good, but maybe it's because I fancy Uma Thurman.

People will laugh, but I have to say The Sound of Music. If you don't get a bit choked up when the nuns disable the Nazi's car you must be clinically dead.


Another film I love is Same Time Next Year. It's about a two people who have a one-night stand at a hotel, can't face leaving their partners so decide to meet up for just one weekend a year. Slow moving, but very well-written (got the Best screenplay Oscar) and moving.

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

Smufy - I love Same Time Next Year too! i saw it years ago when it first came out and was so glad when it won an award. Another film I love from that era is Next Stop Greenwich Village which was adapted from a play. It has a wonderful Neil Simon quality to it. Some of Woody Allen's films from that era are brilliant too, especially Play It Again Sam.

Seeing mention of Annie reminded me - Oliver! is another of my favourite films of all time.
