Also, always used to like Convoy when I was a kid - first film I ever went to see - and even now I realise it's pretty poor, it still holds that sentimental value.

Also, always used to like Convoy when I was a kid - first film I ever went to see - and even now I realise it's pretty poor, it still holds that sentimental value.
Convoy, I remember that fondly as well. It was one of the first films I saw on video, on my dads old toploading Ferguson Videostar. I am still waiting for it to be shipped on my DVD rental package.
its a very hard question. there are loads of films I could watch once or twice and enjoy but there are films that i've had taped off the telly. then progressed onto buying on vhs, then progressed onto dvd. and the 3 i chose are 3 of those.
if i was asked again tomorrow i'd probably think of 2 different ones. although my fair lady would still be top.
gone with the wind is one thats amazing. I'm taking the book on hoilday and going to attempt to read it in a week! wish me luck!
i never voted for any of those! tho i did put a girly one it was more to do at the memory of the first time watching it as a young girl. i would put shawshank on mine as well. very hard question.
sound of music... urgh. id have wizard of oz over that any day tho ive watched neither in 15 years.
Goodfella's (my fav)
Shawshank (again pretty good)
Usual Suapects (again way up there)
The girls
My Fair Lady
Gone with the wind
Sound of Music (maybe)
And they all say we are equal???????????
whats wrong with my favourite films? doesn't mean they are the only 3 films i ever watch. i just love musical/musical theatre and you lot love gangsters/violence/disaster movies!
-plus there are less than 5 girls that post on this board so how is that representative of female opinon!
ooooh i feel a rant coming on! good job i'm off on holibobs tomorrow.
