June 7, 200619 yr Hey I want to make a list of a load of films to take back to UK with me when I go back, which isn't for a while yet so got loads of time to make a great list. What would be your top 3 or even 3 suggestions, I love all sorts of movies. So I look forward to your input. Cheers Ash [Edited by Scouse]
June 7, 200619 yr Sorry, I forgot to recommend something to the OP. The one necessity to have in any film collection must be two of the greatest films ever made. They are Godfather l & ll.
June 7, 200619 yr The Devil's Advocate Scent of a woman Meet Joe Black Leon Legends of the Fall Seven Years in Tibet The Godfather Scarface Hearts in Atlantis Forrest Gump A Beautiful Mind Something's Gotta Give As Good as It Gets Indecent Proposal Bicentennial Man Well, I think it's more than 3 movies, I haven't posted them by any order, just remembering what I really enjoyed, there are many not less important but that's what crossed my mind at the moment, anyways, I think it's a good thing to have these in your collection.

June 8, 200619 yr My favourite film of all time is one that nobody seems to mention ( or see for that matter) All about SE Asia in the time of war, fantastic true story filled with really good acting. One hill of a weepie. Oliver Stones third film of his trilogy. ' Heaven & Earth' I think it's a must for lovers of the far east. In close second must be ' Alien' So far ahead of it's time it made the World tremble. Third I'll go for comedy fantasy ' The Princess Bride' Filled with fun, laughter & a great music score from Mark Knopler Mind you in that catagory 'Ladyhawke' was great as well. After that...........well most of the rest of the film world ties for fourth place.
June 8, 200619 yr What about some of the old classic movies that are still available:- The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca.......... Bogart at his best. Double indemnity..............Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck, with screen play by Raymond Chandler. As mentioned by other posters, the list could go on and on and on.
June 8, 200619 yr Shawshank Redemption The Usual Suspects Gladiator Mad Max 2 Saving Private Ryan Silence of the Lambs The Killing Fields
June 8, 200619 yr The movies I really like I haven't seen in LOS yet. Robert Altman's Short Cuts Down by Law Peter Greenaway movies ...and the Monty Python lot. I buy now movies in Europe and get them shipped over here

June 8, 200619 yr number 1= spice girls movie. too difficult to choose,but movies im thinking of at the moment; shawshank redemption cool hand luke ,"im a shaking the tree boss" sideways deer hunter most stuff by the coen brothers, & not stuff that you feel like youve seen before ,where the bad guy dies at the end.
June 8, 200619 yr The Exorcist - possibly the best film ever made. Far better than all of this over rated Godfather nonsense. Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The original (although the remake isn't too bad) Classic former 'pirate' movie. Shot on a low budget but still stunningly grotesque. Poltergiest - Spielberg's only venture into the Horror genre which is a shame as he did a bloody good job with this film. The Killing Fields - The best account of the Pol Pot regime on film. A brilliant film.
June 8, 200619 yr A certain type of "date movie": Snow Falling on Ceders Chinese Box I like a story with some flawed characters... A Rob Zombie date movie? House of 1.000 Corpses Talk about flawed character. Whew!
June 8, 200619 yr Not available in thailand, but everywhere else: ANNA AND THE KING Great great movie!!!

Poltergeist, a good one. The rest are movies?
