Whats your top 3 favourite films?

mine would probably be:

1.Independance day

2.Swordfish

3.Sphere

[Emperor Oli 0]

Guffaw guffaw. I don't really have a top three, so I'll just list as many as I see fit:

1. Pirates of the Caribbean

2. The Road to Perdition

3. 28 Days Later (great bit of British film-making)

4. Starsky & Hutch!

5. Master & Commander

DEFINITELY NOT ANY OF THE MATRIX SERIES!

p.s JMD, I hear The Day After Tomorrow is the new Independence Day? Not only from the same directors, but it looks cooler

p.p.s Can we name a play too? Mine's Habeas Corpus by Alan Bennett

[Emperor Oli 0]

p.p.p.s Forgot the classics! The Ladykillers and The Great Escape doh!

[Half Penny Jon 0]

My faviorite films would be:

1. Zulu.

2. Zulu dawn.

3. Master and Commander.

4. The great Escape.

5. The League of extraordinary gentlemen.

As you have probably guessed I like action films especially when it involves the Britosh kicking the a*se of the Zulu's!

three's tough... how about 10? (in no particular order)

10) The Towering Inferno

9) Italian Job (the Original!)

8) Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

7) Airplane!

6) Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

5) Die Hard (all three of them)

4) Tombstone

3) Carry on Cabby

2) Indiana Jones; Raiders of the Lost Ark

1) Indiana Jones; The Last Crusade

What can i say i like films with humour! And i'm partial to British films, i really can't stand flag waving US films.

I can't believe i couldn't get Hot Shots part Deux in there, Willow, or Casablanca... All of which are amusing in their own ways.

And i'm ashamed to admit it but i like the Harry Potter films too, i didn't think i would but when i watched them they were amusing enough to grab my attention, oh that and the Ford Anglia...

The reviews are not great for it though.

[Emperor Oli 0]

Are you kidding? It's got 4/5 stars across the board!

[Master Jmd 80]

Are you kidding? It's got 4/5 stars across the board!

thats only 80%, but still, 4/5 is good enough...

9) Italian Job (the Original!)

yea, i liked that

[Emperor Oli 0]

Bloody hell "thats only 80%" What planet are you on? Rarely do films get 5* so just can it.

[Half Penny Jon 0]

I didn't say that I hate the film, in fact I will go and see it next week-end, it looks good.

It wasn't you I was getting at, HPJ, it was JMD

[Geoff T 3]

Whats your top 3 favourite films?

mine would probably be:

1.Independance day

2.Swordfish

3.Sphere

Frankly, I think "Independence day" was one of the worst pieces of formulaic Hollywood good guys/bad guys crap I've ever seen. I'd go for (again in no particular order, excerpt that the top one is the all-time favourite).

Jesus de Montreal

Le phantome de la liberte

All quiet on the Western Front

Some like it hot

Priest

Casablanca

American beauty

Psycho

Brief encounter

Goodbye, Lenin

[Sylvester 15]

Ah a fellow Casablanca Fan!

Yeah i though Independence Day was awful, too patriotic for my liking.

Did you know that the actor originally lined up to play the Bogart role in "Casablanca" was - Ronald Reagan - and that they had two different endings ready but didn't tell the actors until the last minute?

I didn't know Ronald Reagan was down for that, i'm glad it went to Bogart! Can you imagine Reagan? It'd be like that quote from Airplane... "I haven't felt this bad since i saw that Ronald Reagan movie!" as she reaches for the sick bag...

I had heard about an alternative ending though! I do believe the Simpsons made fun of that one...

[Emperor Oli 0]

Geoff is wrong! And it's been debunked by one of my favourite sites too!

lol, well found and a first for you geoff

[Sylvester 15]

This is before we get to the miss quotes... who said 'play it again Sam'?

Roger Moore did in Moonraker.

Bogart never said it, he is often misquoted as saying it, but what he actually said was...

'play it!'
