greatest film of all time ??????

I liked all the ones above, too :D (had forgotten about The color purple, that was a great one)
I also liked Dirty Dancing, The Patriot and Silence of the Lambs

hmmm just watched one of my fave films, a japanese classic in my view.

Audition

It centres around a widower, who 7 years after the death of his first wife, is convinced by his son to remarry. so with the help of his friend sets up a fake audition to find a suitable bride.

He settles for a shy ex ballerina, and the stage is set for their courtship. the film then takes an alarming twist, and turns from a romantic comedy type genre into a disquitening tale of obsession and madness. The last half hour of the film is sublime in its simplicity and whilst some parts of the film are surreal, the threat that this could happen to you are very real.

highly recommended, it is a watch at least once type film even if you arent that keen on japanese flicks

The last film that had me in tears was Cabaret.

I didnt think it was that bad :lol:

The film which had the most impact on me was Schindlers List…cried buckets all the way through it. Watched it a few years later and still wept buckets.

Shawshank Redemption
Green Mile
Pretty Woman
Full Monty
Dirty Dancing

i have just finished watching Sin City.

based on the graphic novels by Frank Miller, this film noir is a classic. it is gloriously grim and deliciously dark, with some subtle humour added. it is brutal, crude and somewhat trashy, and that is what makes it such a good film in my opinion. it is visually striking due to its black and white imagery, offset with the clever use of coloured segments. i would highly reccomend this film to anyone.

I’ll second that cymorill…….watched it a couple of weeks ago and loved it :)
