Ben Hur isn't bad either! Another one I can watch every time it's shown.

For comedies, it has to be the Farrelly brothers - Me, Myself & Irene and There`s Something About Mary.

It's been a while since I've seen Withnail and I - I loved it - very funny! But I remember being struck by the last scene - quite sad in a way.

Oh how I hate that film......every time it is on himself watches it like he has never seen it before.......that and The Lady Vanishes......and all the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes films too...they make me shudder.
what is worse is that Ma phones him up to tell him they are on

Nice selection - Harrison Ford is a great favourite of mine and Bladerunner is a very original film. I have Howard's End on video and Sense and Sensibility - Emma Thompson did a great job with that screenplay. Room with a View is a fab film too. Different genre but The Silence of the Lambs is worth mentioning as well. I also love a very early Ken Brannagh/Colin Firth film with the lovely(and unfortunately, late) Natasha Richardson. I have this on the original video cassette -it's beautifully filmed and is a lovely, sensitive story. The book is excellent too!
