Fillyums and Tellehvishun.

rhapsody!

Self explanatory - what films do you sit down and watch over and over and never get sick of?

Fillyums include Pan's Labyrinth, Little Miss Sunshine, Just Like Heaven, Hancock, The Santa Clause (simply because it has so many memories surrounding it!), the first Fast and the Furious, anything Wallace and Gromit, 300 (don't get why people didn't like it, I thought it was awesome - plus it's fun to scream THIS IS SPARTA to everyone), The Break Up, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, urmm.... Now into the more childish films.. Pocahontas I've loved since I was a kid, and it was the first film I ever saw at the cinema. Toy Story is just awesome. Shrek 1, Shrek 2 not so much, Shrek 3 was fairly sh!te now in fairness. The Incredibles, Robots, The Simpsons Movie, FINDING NEMO. Can't think of anymore. But I know there ARE more.

There is only one film in the whole world that I still haven't decided whether I liked it or not; Tideland. I just don't know yet. xD

Tellehvishun programmes like Fringe, Reaper, Bones, Heroes, Friends, The Simpsons, The IT Crowd, Father Ted, anything Eddie Izzard, Black Books, anything Dylan Moran, The Mighty Boosh but apparently I have alot of catching up to do, Survivors, Armstrong and Miller, CSI, Criminal Minds, The Lost Room was pretty good, Room 101 - I miss that, QI, Animal Park (love it to bits lmao!), Top Gear, and ever since I saw The Gadget Show last Saturday morning (obscenely early, about 10am!), I want to watch it again so yeah I can add that to my list. Again there are more but my brain is dead so yeah...

Speak now.

Try watching the extended version dvds of all 3 films in one go. Word of advice, dont start at 23:00. Baad idea. Return of the king is the best of the films though.
Shawshank Redemption is another good film.

Add Futurama, Doctor Who, Skins..

I Am Legend was actually really good.

Also, Lion King.

ironictoaster

Great film on Christmas eve night, Walk The Line (RTE 8.50pm)

Never Mind the Buzzcocks

If it wouldn't lead to drastic presumption (wrong ones) about my sexuality, I would eat Simon Amstell

I think he's alot better than the old guy.........

Mushy

Never really watch films. If I was to, it'd either be animation, comedy, or animated comedy. So Billy Madison and Toy Story would be my favourites.

As for tv, I tend to by boxsets more than watch a show on tv. Likes of Scrubs, That 70s Show, South Park, King of Queens(most shows on Paramount really).

Films: Sin City, American Beauty, Pan's Labyrinth, Donnie Darko, Fight Club, The Matrix. I'm bad at thinkng of things off the cuff...I bought A Clockwork Orange last night after reading the book, I thinkI'll watch it tonight, a nice Crimbo movie :pac::cool:

TV: Never ind The Buzzcocks, Jools Holland. Again, I can't think of anything! I'll be back though....

JC 2K3

Let's see:
Trainspotting, Requiem for a Dream, American Beauty, City of God, Fight Club, Oldboy, Blood Diamond, The Prestige, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Donnie Darko, Lost in Translation, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.... probably lots more I can't think of right now, anything pretentious in a penseive way, gritty/disturbing, both, or just downright deranged I love. Generally not a fan of action movies. I love some comedies, but wouldn't rate them as great movies.

Not into anything in particular on TV. I watch the usual comedy series such as Scrubs, Family Guy, Simpsons etc. when they're on.

rhapsody!

Oh my god I absolutely loved The Prestige!! I've only seen it once, stupid sky had it on a while back, didn't bother putting it back up again.

Just remembered I also love The Truman Show.

And I normally wouldn't been into chick flicks but I loved Coyote Ugly.

Fillyums: I'm not a fillyums man myself, but I just bought 007: Casino Royale and hot fuzz, and its my 3rd time watching hot fuzz, so I suppose that's mine.

Tellyishuns: Father Ted, The Simpsons, Futurama, The Angelus(the rush of achievement as you chime along to the tune is great ), ANY BBC Quizcom; Mock the Week, QI, Have I Got News For You, Etc., And, beleive it or not, Sky News (only when there is absolutely nothing else on)

Piste

Ii got Season 1 of Desperate Housewives for Christmas and bought Season 2 off Ebay the other day so I've been watching 2/3 episodes a day. It has me really frightened that I'll end up in a relationship like them in the future

I used watch Lost but got really sick of it - I stopped watching when they killed off all the interesting characters. Also, I can't stand Jack - such a whiney bastard.
