Kellys Heroes
Mad Max 2
Saving Private Ryan
The Battle of Britain
Zulu

Those would be my top 5 with

Star Wars
A Bridge Too Far
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
Brotherhood
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

making a top 10.

Just watched brotherhood for the first time recently after buying it when it first came out. Wish i'd never put it off, loved it all!!!

For me, it's:

The Toxic Avenger
RoboCop
Evil Dead 2
Batman (1989 version)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

There's plenty of other films I'm happy to watch more than a couple of times though.

There has got to be a definitive amount of times you can watch a film, I wouldn't say I would watch these films repeatedly however I would rate these above others,

1 Star Wars
2 Snatch
3 Fear & Loathing
4 Lord of the Rings
5 Tron

Oh, and could I just add any of the Monty Python films to the list?

I was just agreeing with Alleykat re Lost in Translation...

Anyhoo, I'm just trying to stir a little discussion. Its no fun if the thread just becomes a big list. I'm happy to diss a few movies I thought were bad, I'm happy to hear why you thought otherwise about them. I'm equally involved in having a bit of a Pan's Labyrinth love in, so its not all downers - this isn't footie

Dissing Lost In Translation again, Anti? Shame on you!

I love the film, it made a refreshing change from the norm.

And Bill was robbed at the Oscars that year.

Oh come on, I didn't start it this time, I just offered a little support. It was Withnail & I that was drawing my ire

Shameful admissions: I've never seen Taxi Driver and highly rated Awakenings

I'm rather surprised by the bad press withnail is receiving, considering some of the tripe that's been offered up. It's a class film with a great script.

Anyway, not the best films I've ever seen but the ones that cheer me up the most:

Fletch
Chungking express
Big Wednesday
Dazed and confused
D.A.R.Y.L

For years I thought Fletch was a movie version of Porridge

I was pleasantly surprised when I finally saw it.

Shameful admissions vol 2:

I watched Taxi Driver for the first time about 18 months ago and thought it was sh!te. A friend of mine worships the bloody thing but I didnt enjoy it at all. Except near the end when he shot that pimp.

That's not shameful. I think there are quite a few movies that are "accepted" as being classic but actually aren't that great. I'm not saying that Taxi Driver is in this category, but I remember watching Citizen Kane a few years ago and thinking, well actually this is quite boring!

The Third Man however I really liked.

Must admit i go back to Reservoir Dogs and i'm quite bored with it, granted i've watched it tons, theres too much talking in it also and after so many viewings i think i've just seen it too much ! Still love the soundtrack
