For me, it's a tie between Braveheart and LOTR: Return of the King EE

I group all 3 LOTR films into one film.
That is mine.

Spartacus, Empire of the Sun and yes Dr Strangelove

Goodnight Mr Tom..

charlie and the Chocloate factory . not the recent one.
LOTR -of course
Harry potter (pure fanatsy)
Jaws ( still gets me every time - its the music)
Long good Friday


i like my scifi and fantasy -- For those who aren't Brit - Goodnight Mr Tom- was a TV film - look it up on the web if you get a chance - its kinda sad and happy at the same time - no sex, drugs or rock n' roll- but still good.

Alien -




(any one put up any of the Rocky films then they need shooting)

Without thinking too much I would vote for :

- Dances with wolves. Especially the scene where Dunbar meets with the local Sioux is an abosolute hit.

- Jean de Florette with Gérard Depardieu, one of the best French movies I 've ever seen.

No , de Soubeyrans were the son of a b's. Played by Yves Montand and an actor who's name I forgot.
But indeed, this was all about the well, which Gerard didn't know of, while he was in urgent need of water to soil his land and flowers.

You might need to genre'lise this topic b/c how can you compare say Some Like it Hot to Die Hard? both great films, both very difficult to compare because of how different they are..

Hey, can split into categories if you want - I don't think anybody is limited to one selection

The BBC (I think) did a movie on Dracula many years ago starring Louis Jourdan as the Count and Frank Findley as Van Helsing.

Jourdan as the Count - smooth, suave...the absolute essense of evil.
Findley playing it straight but adding just the right amount of humour for comic relief.
Best version of the story yet.
