Thread Name: BS: Favourite films and why
Subject: RE: BS: Favourite films and why
Seems an awful lot of people rate 'The Wicker Man'... Can't see the attraction, apart from Christopher Lee that is.....

Personally, I don't have an all-time fave. I have films I'll always try and see if they are on... regardless of whether I have them on video or DVD, or if I've seen them before.

I also go through phases of watching films. A few months ago it was neck and neck between the 'X Men' movies and 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. Now, it's 'Van Helsing' - but that's because it's got Hugh Jackman with no clothes on in it.....

My best 'feel better' film has to be 'Little Shop of Horrors'. Put it on when I'm really down, and it makes me smile regardless - especially Steve Martin's song, 'I'll be a dentist'.

My best 'feel bad' film is probably 'Schindlers' List'. It's a great adaptation of a terrible (it's a terrible subject, not it's a terrible book) story that was done with feeling and sympathy.

My best 'sod the world' film is anything from the 'St Trinians' range.... been watching them a lot recently.

And my best 'slobber' film has to be 'Thunderball'. Saw it first when I was 11, fell in love with Sean Connery and his hairy chest, there and then. Been hooked ever since. Oddly enough, I only watched it because I'd read the book, minus a chapter ('How to eat a girl') which had been partially ripped out.. I wanted to find out what happened.
