Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Been mulling these over - might have to blog as there are reasons for the choices to with associated memories or people, bit like the music versions of this.

Anyway, in no particular order:
Casablanca
Singing in the Rain
The Adventures of Robin Hood
Brazil
Star Wars
The Princess Bride
The Shawshank Redemption
The Philadelphia Story

I would probably dive into the waves to save Casablanca. Very tough to choose - lots of others I've considered!

:) I can probably quote most of the dialogue to these - as can my offspring!

I'm struggling with this, but these are seven that I would (and do) happily watch from whatever point I find them on the TV:

Apollo 13
Little Miss Sunshine
Jaws
Pulp Fiction
In Bruges
The Usual Suspects
Fargo

If I had to save one it would be Little Miss Sunshine. I think. Today, anyway.

I agree about Little Miss Sunshine, Paula! Underrated, unusual, brilliant, hilarious and absurdly touching in equal measures.
