Seeing as there has been the big film debate, what's your top three ?

1. Goodfellas
2. LA Confidential
3. The Champ

Likely to be a contender for the worst three !

    1. Matrix Reloaded

    2. Blow

    3. Cool Runnings


    I reckon my three are worse than yours AFKA. Problem is there are too many great films to make a top three out of. Love all the matrixs, american pies, basketball, shawshank, usual suspects, ronin, joe dirty, friday triology, la confidential, happy gilmore, billy madison, T2, Van Wilder, Seven...The list is endless.

    1) Life of Brian - 'cos I'm a very naughty boy
    2) Blazing Saddles - telegram for Mongo
    3)= The Blues Brothers - Belushi and Ackroyd were superb and the music just perfect
    3)= Midnight Express - remember first watching it in an open air cinema in Greece with Greek subtitles. The Greeks loved it!

    The interesting thing to me is what people use as a guide for a great film. For me it is films I can happily watch time and time again.

    I have seen many really good films that lose a lot of their appeal after the first viewing.

    Se7en is one of those, Usual suspects suffers similarly. Both fantastic films, with great scripts but lose their lustre once you know the endgame.

    Not everyone watches a film tine and time again - once I have seen a film I am unlikely to see it again for at least ten years if ever, no matter how good

    but isnt it also about coming out of the cinema and saying "what a great film?" and talking to your friends about it.

    Hmmmm,

    I'm not much of a film buff but I'd go;

    1. City of God
    2. Kill Bill (probably at an advantage as I went to the Premiere of both parts)
    3. Return of the Jedi

    This is an impossible question as the answer depends on mood etc, etc.

    However in no particular order......

    Chariots Of Fire

    Mrs Doubtfire (my kids have all loved this film and so it reminds me of them)

    The 10 Commandments
