Few good ones there but braveheart????? That's a dud if ever I saw one. It doesn't help that Gibson appears to be like his character in lethal weapon I real life either.

Wolf creek is really creepy.

Triumph of the Will

People get very weird about others film choices. I mean just because it's a really popular film doesn't mean it's not excellent. The same goes for being disparaging towards another's choice just because you don't like it.

We're all different.

I just want to say, Paddy Cosidine is a shockingly under rated actor. He's not in the above list though.

Oh Francesca made me cry. As did Scarlet O'Hara That's another one of my favourites. I was only a child when I first watched it with my mam. That film inspired many a dress up game.

Cortina_MK_IV

Lucky Number Slevin is an underrated gem IMO. Even overrated plank Bruce Willis can't ruin it. Lucy Liu so cute!

What a formidable woman Scarlet was. It may be four hours long, but I know every line of that movie!

If you liked TBOMC and Gran Torino, have you seen another underrated Eastwood film called 'A Perfect World'? Amazing film.

Frailty with Mathew mcconnaghey (spelling) . A very overlooked and quite under the radar movie that is absolutely brilliant. Bill Paxton is great in it as well.

If you watch it you won't be disappointed. A 9.5 out of 10 movie.

Fcuk,

I forgot about Weekend at Bernies!

Mean streets, metropolis, spirited away, moonrise kingdom, solaris (original), city lights, blood simple, barton fink

Firefly, parks and recreation, twin peaks

Buona Fortuna

A couple more of mine

A Few Good Men - "Wow I'm sexually aroused Commander."

Where Eagles Dare - This is just a "Boys Own" romp through nazi Germany. Plenty of action, implausible stunts and it ends with the two heroes (Burton and Eastwood) shooting nazis from an alpine bus while smooching their love interests. Pure escapism.

Come and See

A Russian film about a rural lad's experience of the second world war. Made in 1985.

Harrowing. Visceral. Brutal. During the course of the film the guy visibly ages as the awful toll of inhuman conflict takes its course. Close up face shots convey the true horror of what the characters endure.

A thoroughly upsetting and draining experience. But powerful, skillfully executed and a unique type of cinema.

Recommend giving this a miss - while it's a very unique/unusual piece of cinema, it has a despicable moment of real life animal cruelty/torture, where an animal is deliberately shot by the film-makers and kept around to writhe/die painfully.

Blazing Saddles.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Three hours long, slowly builds up to a climax where three guys stand around for ages doing nothing.

Jaysus, who'd be a critic?

Leaving out The Godfather, On the Waterfront, One Flew Over..., Raiders & Back to the Future ain't easy.

Cienciano

The 2 best movies ever made were:
The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
Jaws
Forget everything you've read in this thread, these are the best 2 by a mile. The Usual Suspects? Possibility the most over rated movie of all time. Forget it. Shíte.

KomradeBishop

Tried to pick ones that (apart from one or two) weren't already mentioned - a bit random:

Movies:
American History X
The Lives of Others
A Clockwork Orange
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
Evil Dead 2/3 (+ tv series below)

TV:
John Adams
Generation Kill
Boys from the Blackstuff
This is England (film + 1 2 3 tv series)
Outlander
Deadwood
Oz
Rome
Spartacus (watch Gods of the Arena before series 2/3)
Ash vs Evil Dead

Pretty much anything there should have you gripped.

The Matrix

uch

'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas', as an ex junkie this film was both funny and made me give up Drugs, about 2 years ago

And 'the Gods must be Crazy' made me laugh since I seen it, and still does

Hard to recommend movies you don't look at in fairness. Really curious what movies in the outer life are...

Letters from iwo jima is a favourite of mine
"Stalingrad" german movie version 1993
"Das Boot"

Manhunter. Probably the best film I've ever seen.

Rise of the Footsoldier. One I've watched a fair bit.

Leon. But, if ye coming here for a night in? I'll show ye The Directors Cut! Ye've not seen Leon till then :cool:

The Kingdom. Also on my shelf. Never tire of it.


TV?

The Professionals

B.A._Baracus

Only my personal preference but I think the thing (1981) and predator are two of the greatest movies ever made.

What's with so many awesome movies being made in the 80s tho?
Like you got ghostbusters, beveral hills cop, terminator, back to the future, indiana Jones, empire strikes back and return of the jedi, lethal weapon, aliens. Crocodile Dundee... Ah I could go on.

Trekker09

84 Charing Cross Road - Anne Bancroft at her best
The Party - Still watch it with awe
Papillon - Yep!!
Being There - More relevent than ever
Silence Of The Lambs - Best adaptation of a book I'd seen and truly scary
Clockers - Pace, story, characters, for me, it has it all

Galwayguy35

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was a good one as well, the original one not the remake.

Chain Smoker

I know I'm gonna sound like a bit of an arsehole for saying this, but it's kind of fascinating to see the kind of films a more general audience than I'd ever talk to films about pick as favourites and best.


Anyway, my answer is always Babe.
