great movie - I'll watch Jude Law all day long - Gattaca, AI, Cold Mountain, Repo Men and Talented Mr Ripley

He and Kevin Spacey - Usual Suspects, se7en, LA Confidential, American Beauty, The Negotiator, Glengarry Glenn Ross - are two of my favourite actors.

[mauGR1]

I would like to mention " The Purple Colour " one of the best movies i saw in my life .

Stephen Spielberg is a great producer, so many outstanding movies !

[ivan96822]

Goodness gracious...some very bad suggestions here. I guess los have cleaned out some imtellectual abilities. In the meantime, I will be at terminal 21 , watching bad commercials, saluting his highness, not booking a sofa, and generally looking forward to grabbing a chang from 7.11 and picking up a bootlegged dvd from an indian dude whose bargain price ill have to barter down...

ok ivan, too shy to say The Lion King? its ok mate, nothing to be ashamed about...

The Lion King? Please.

I forgot to mention another one of my favorites: BULLY directed by Larry Clark.

The Colour Purple - a very powerful movie and a great book. Alice Walker lucked out with Spielberg as Rosa Guy and Mildred E Taylor are IMHO superior authors but their books have never been as successfully translated into films.

I'd love someone to do a modern remake of Imitation of Life with Lana Turner, I wept unashamedly twice during that movie!

Sent from Android, please excuse errors in type or judgement.

Some real surprises in the lists , shows that we all can enjoy a whole range of movie genres .

Some of my favourites would be , but not limited to as the list is endless -

Blade Runner

House of Flying Daggers

Nice ...

[transam]

I know we are enthralled with how technology has moved on but for me some old black and white stuff is really excellent. African Queen, Ice Cold in Alex, the list goes on.

Have to agree - very few movies can match the build up of suspense in "The 39 Steps" despite all manner of tech wizardry...

Hitchcock was a great director. he knew how to maintain suspense and seemed also to adapt books well to the screen. Some personal faves of mine he directed are;

Dial M for Murder

The Birds (Daphne Du Maurier novel)

To Catch a Thief (David Dodge novel)

North by Northwest

Strangers on a Train (Patricia Highsmith novel, author who also did Ripley)

Vertigo (based on a French novel I believe)

[phuturatica]

For the OP, if you have not seen it yet, i would recommend " The kite runner " , the first movie from Afghanistan to become famous.. As good as the homonymous book imho.

Already seen this and loved it. However the book was much better. The movie missed out loads of things.

Little Women

Great Expectations

It's a Wonderful Life

Scrooge (the original)

[phuturatica]

Some excellent suggestions people! Keep em' coming!
