Put the bunny back in the box

I never get tired of con air. It isn't brilliant but it's just a film I can rewatch whenever it's on tv

 

Got a few like that myself, Remember the titans, 300, walk the line and Red Dawn

 

For very different reasons: apocalypse now and clockwise. Watch em over and over again

 

Cracking.

Just put it on plus one.

 

I love the 3 original Bourne Trilogy films with Matt Damon and for different reasons Pixar's Coco. Unfortunately being a 'sentimental old fart' I always miss seeing the very final scene with Grandma clearly as I always seem to ...ahem...get something in my eye which makes them water inexplicably.

 

Shawshank redemption for me but do love Con Air

 

I've never watched Con Air. Likewise, I've never seen the likes of Gone With The Wind, Shawshank Redemption, Casablanca, The Sound Of Music, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, or Mary Poppins.

 

The Green Mile was on last night. One of Hanks best films in my opinion.

 

One of my favourite films. A lot of films I have to be in a certain mood to watch them but anytime Con Air’s on I’ll watch

 

Need to watch shawshank redemption

 

Shawshank needs to be on the bucket list.

 

Can sit through a die hard film over and over, and the back to the future trilogy.

 

Gone with the Wind Overtly racist completely glosses over the treatment of slaves and very sympathetic to the Confederate cause and not surprising given Margaret Mitchell's Great Grandad (Fitzgerald)was came from Ireland and settled on a Slave plantation, Her grandad enlisted in the Confederate army. EDIT.... Early Classic post production technical cockup where in one scene semi transparent carriages can be seen going up the driveway to the plantation mansion for the party.
Casablanca, although dated, is well worth a watch and a ripping yarn not to mention the iconic song (as time goes by)
Shawshank Redemption Truly great film - Nothing else to be said!

Personally, I hate SoM, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - all nauseatingly sickly (although I think you have to be of a certain age when they came out to view them with an air of nostalgia. (My son in law loves CCBB) but is over 30 years younger than me
Can just about tolerate Mary Poppins and worth a watch just for Dick van Dyke's legendary and often imitated 'fail' attempt at Cockney. Hilarious!

Another film and (IMO) one of the greatest is 'Citizen Cain'. That said it is probably only great if you are a film buff interested in the process. So many original ideas that are commonplace now in editing, cinematography, framing , the twist at the end etc. all come from that film.

'The Third Man', also a masterpiece this time with Orson Wells acting the main character but directed by Carol Reed is atmospheric and a time capsule. Filmed in B&W in Vienna in 1948, during the short uneasy truce between the end of the war and the onset of the cold war. It won an Oscar and the Golden Palm at Cannes. Again the theme music is iconic.

For me, films are like music... too many I like for wildly differing reasons to choose a favourite.

 

A Christmas tradition in our house..

Also 3 ( Harlem with Samuel L Jackson ) and the reboot (no 4 with a 'tech dinosaur' John Mcclane partnered by a tech savvy youngerhacker) are also good... although I hated 2 (the airport one ) and not see the relatively recent one (one too many according to some)

 

Always miss the end, for some reason as soon as that music starts playing I get something in my eye

 

Some interesting comments there of facts that I wasn't aware. Thank you.
The reason I quoted those films is that they regularly appear on the list of film goers' favourite movies. Last year, after years of thinking "I must see that movie some time", I finally got round to viewing Schindler's List. I can't claim I 'enjoyed' the film due to it's content, but I'm glad watched it.

 

Back to the future trilogy and the Wedding Singer for a bit of 80s nostalgia.

 

Goodfellas for me. I find Shawshank a bit trite - like a made for TV film with better production values and acting
