Rosehip Jul 2018 9:56pm, 25 Jul 2018 10,746 posts	0 Rosehip Actually not much of a fan of films, attention span too short!

Diogenes Jul 2018 6:51am, 26 Jul 2018 29,111 posts	0 Diogenes Grosse Pointe Blank, North By North West, Withnail all on my reserve list. Interesting that very few children’s movies, especially animated ones, chosen so far. Also, no epics such as Gone With The Wind, Lawrence Of Arabia, Dr Zhivago, Ghandi... Similarly light on war films... Which reminds me: The Deer Hunter
halfpint Jul 2018 9:07am, 26 Jul 2018 26,028 posts	0 halfpint Without too much thought and therefore subject to change: Shawshank Redemption Star Wars: A New Hope (or just Star Wars as I prefer to call it) Dirty Dancing Guardians of the Galaxy* (that soundtrack :)) Jaws It's a Wonderful Life Dead Poets Society

HappyG(rrr) Jul 2018 9:28am, 26 Jul 2018 28,978 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Great thread, two comments 1. We've got a great Wiki in Fetch where you can review (one sentence!) your films. I created it mainly because I love hearing other, trusted (Fetchies!) people's opinions on books, films etc. So this one is for films. http://www.fetcheveryone.com/article-view.php?id=538 2. You lot have just become my instant go-to place for where to find inspiration for movies I either haven't watched for ages, have heard of but never watched, or have never even heard of. If they are on you Desert Island list, they must be good. If you could add even one review into the Wiki above, I'd be awfully grateful - why are those your top 7? Why your number one? Esp if it's something more unusual. Fanks! It's a Wonderful Life Groundhog Day Beetlejuice Star Wars - Empire Strikes Back Philadelphia Story The Bourne Supremacy Mission Impossible 2 old ones, 2 action, a sci fi, a horror comedy and an unclassifiable! Philadelphia Story's attitude to class and treatment of women probably doesn't stand up very well but the acting and comedy and direction is just wonderful. It's A Wonderful Life is obviously uplifting and a great tale. I'm obviously a Bill Murray fan, but you need things that you are happy to watch over and over and Beetlejuice is def one for me - love Tim Burton style, love Danny Elfman music. Star Wars - chosen Empire Strikes Back because even though it's the "middle one" I know the stories so well it doesn't matter. And it has some of the most wonderful scenes "I am your father"! Bourne and Mission Impossible are both fast paced entertainment. MI the first just because I still like it best. And Bourne Supremacy is random. I can re-watch any of the first 3. And I reserve the right to totally change my mind! What are your reasons? G
HappyG(rrr) Jul 2018 9:30am, 26 Jul 2018 28,979 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Oh and Groundhog Day is because you can do it over and over and even though it's the same you can learn to love the same. Obv! G
HappyG(rrr) Jul 2018 9:46am, 26 Jul 2018 28,980 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Oh no, I've just gone back and read your lists and soooo many that I forgot: Roman Holiday (any Audrey Hepburns - Breakfast at Tiffany's etc. I've got so many of them), a singy one! Singin' in the Rain, Calamity Jane, Rocky Horror, even Pitch Perfect... Blade Runner, all my Monty Pythons, Princes Bride, Stardust, Brazil, Local Hero, Grosse Point Blank, Trading Places, oh gosh, more Jimmy Stewart: Harvey, Rear Window... arghhh! G
