How could I forget the Coen brothers? Of which A Serious Man is my favourite. Also virtually anything by Kubrick or Hitchcock - or Bergman! Then there''s The Third Man, early Disney (Snow White is unsurpassable & Bambi made me laugh & simultaneously fart so much my 7 year old self entertained several rows of the cinema. I also wept bucketloads of course).

This is impossible. And don''t forget:

When the truth

Is found to be lies

And all the joy

Within you dies

Don''t you want somebody to love

Don''t you need somebody to love

Wouldn''t you love somebody to love

You''d better find somebody to love

Very good call with the intouchables GJP.

Absolutely beautiful film, but I didn''t want to appear pretentious by throwing in something subtitled.

Isn''t easy but.....

Way Out West

Wizard of Oz

Primal Fear

Battle of Britain

The Goldrush

There are so many great films mentioned which I''ll watch over again but these are my favourites.

Funny but every Friday is home cinema night we get on a couple classic films and get the popcorn out.

I watche Anthrepoid last night, absolutely captivating.

I like the look of Ricardo''s.....a strong collection. Many Coen films in my list but No Country would be top. Plus Withnail and I, Nobody''s Fool, Hear My Song, Elf! Far too many to pick.
