Nice selection there John, that just about covers my favourites too.

I have more, but I tend to split favorites up into genres, so I have a favorite family, favorite action, favorite suspense, favorite horror, etc.

In fact, when folks ask me my fav, I *usually* respond with "What genre?"

I don't really watch many films, can't even remember when I last went to the cinema, there isn't one near me, well there's a small cinema in the town which is about 6 miles away from me and is a 20 minute bus ride, but you can forget it if you want to go on the bus. The last ones in or out of here are about 6 o'clock taxi's cost a fortune and parking in the town is a nightmare.

I don't subscribe to Sky movies plus I don't have time to sit through one nor could I physically be sat down that long

So I don't have any favourites as the ones I've seen I like but wouldn't put one above another

hmmmm This is a tough one. I like way too many but here's mine


1.Seven Pounds
2. The day the earth stood still
3. The matrix
4. White Noise
5. The Shining (older)
6. Halloween (very first one)
7. The Net
8. A Walk to remember
9. Pursuit of happyness
10. American werewolf in London



I have so many more

Half the movies I listed I did not see in any sort of cinema or theater (nor theatre, for that matter).

Also, note I did not assign numerical values of any kind - my posts were not in any sort of order, other than in the order that my rambling stream of consciousness pulled them out of my head....

you JG you may be onto to something...
i looked over everyone's list and i may be in the same boat as you are...
all these are very good movies and shine in one way or another...:)
im not a movie goer per se but i do watch one or two once every two months...:)
another not mentioned...

the animatrix

I considered putting The Animatrix (2003) (V) in there, but then I would have to have included many other animated films that I liked as well, including Watership Down (1978), The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury (2004) (V), and of course, Titan A.E. (2000)

- glad my list is popular....
