Steve Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Ok - the title possibly gives my age away (does anyone call them films any more), but I thought people might like to do an equivalent of the Big Read and vote for their 3 favourite movies of all time. Just two rules (what do you mean "How do you get to make the rules"? I started the topic that's how...): No Trilogies (eg Terminator 1,2,3 not allowed) to keep each film in a different genre (eg, avoid The Mummy, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Revenge of the Living Cyclops Entrails) I'll kick it off with: 1 - The Fellowship Of The Ring 2 - As Good As It Gets 3 - Harvey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_79 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Haven't contributed to this one as my brain doesn't retain films well but "Dumbo" still brings a lump to my throat and I still enjoy "Ryan's Daughter" & " Beauty and the Beast"!!

Guest Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Got quite excited yesterday. A friend telephoned to say that one of the local cinemas had advertised in a newspaper that they were showing Lord of the Rings 1 & 2 together and did I want to go-silly question!! Go get it booked!!!!!! This morning she rang to say that she had been in touch with the cinema and the ad was wrong!! Apparently it should have read that they were showing 1 today and 2 next Wednesday!!!! Still not long now til 3!! Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 o0o 3 favourite films, erm, lets think: Moulin Rouge The Shawshank Redemption The Worst Witch (a film from my childhood that I still have on video taped off ITV from the late 80's/early 90's) I've been a good girl, as the original instructions says not all from the same genre, else I would have chosen: Moulin Rouge Chicago Grease 2 (yes the 2nd one, I love the cheese factor of it!)
