What are your favourite films ever? My films very much differ from most people's choices for example:

Lucky Number Slevin
Oceans Eleven
And Fight Club are some of my faves. Not to everyone's taste but I don't care lol

Not a film fan tbh. Breaking Bad is better than any film I've ever seen!!

Do like No country for old men though and Lock stock!

Shawshank, on ITV2 right now funnily enough.

Personally I love Inception but I can appreciate it's a marmite film.

The Terminal is good too.

+1 on Inception, big fan of the Nolan Batman films aswell.

Although personally I love films which are a bit.. different.. like Seven, Oceans, Fight Club, Drive, The Usual Suspects, The Imposter, The Prestige, Into the Wild..

I'm torn between Goodfellas, American Gangster or American History X.

..but then again Get Rich or Die Tryin' is awesome, even if you aren't in to hip hop.

Saving private ryan!

I prefer the sequel, " Shaving Ryan's privates ".

I thought "The Impossible" was very very well done.

But I like thrillers and stuff like "Taken" or weird films like "Source code".

I love comedies like "Miss March", "Here comes the boom", "The Rocker" etc etc...


I find a fair few B movies a year that are better than some cinema releases.

+1. Watched it last night from about half an hour in so a bit pissed off I missed the start but it's still an absolutely epic film IMO. We watched and studied it at school in year 11 so it brought back some good memories tbh :)

I'm not really a film person but apart from the above, for me it's:

-Love The Beast
-Senna
-IOM TT 3D - Closer To The Edge
-The Italian Job (the original with proper Mini's ;) )
-Taken

As a general rule, if it's got cars in it, I'll watch it. If not and there's a chance I won't like it, I won't bother haha.

I had this from a Torrent, debated whether to watch it for ages before deleting it. Thought to myself " baby rape and torture porn, Do i need to see this ?...... no ".

Another sick one i've heard about is August underground Mordum ? Anyone seen ?

Watched In Time the other day with Justin Timberlake, was expecting a tame 'alright' film but it really did surprise me how good it was.

I thought In Time was decent, but it had the weirdest and laziest ending to a film I've seen in a long while. Almost as if they ran out of budget or something.
