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.
