Your Five Favourite Films?

[GrainReaper]

Though I spend more time reading, I do love a good movie!

In random order:

The quiet man
Shawshank redemption
Jeramiah Johnson
A million ways to die in the west
The good the bad and the ugly

Those are my list for today, tonight or tomorrow it may change completely!

Interesting to think of. First one is always first: The Book and the Rose
Others would be:
Babette's Feast
Whisky Galore
Saving Private Ryan
Jonny English

There are others that could be in there too but not much different.

[Tomak]

In no particular order:

Princess Bride
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
The Quiet Man
Young Frankenstein
Zulu

[McMurdo]

I love older films and find there are several older movies I just do not get tired of watching. In no particular order here they are


Casablanca (1942)
The Third Man (1949)
Tunes of Glory (1960)
Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)
A Christmas Carol/Scrooge (1950)

Great lists from everyone so far.

Apocalypto (Mel Gibson film about S. American Indians...great action)
The Patriot (another Mel Gibson film)
Wizard of Oz (the kid in me)
Quigley Down Under
Man of Steel
Zulu
#6 would be a combination of 007 movies, especially with Daniel Craig (but I still like to watch Sean Connery)
#7 might be The Ten Commandments, with Charelton Heston.

They're all different, I know, but I have varied interests. I just love movies
