    Usually anything with Daniel :)) (I think I've watched Layer Cake 20 times?!!)

    No not to seem like such a chick... but Love Actually gets put on a bit, but it's usually films that have several twists that I like to watch over again....Inception is one of them.

    I love layer cake too, it's one of those films ( it seems to be on film4 a lot ) when
    You start watching it, you end up sitting down to watch it all. :)) The entire
    Cast is fantastic, they all work so well together and it looks very stylish. -{
    How the second" layer cake" will turn out with Jason Statham, I don't know :#
    I like " The Stath" but Daniel Craig he's not :)) so it might be more of an action film.
    Perhaps Matthew Vaughn might get a shot at directing a Bond someday as I love
    The look of Layer Cake.

    Like all those and of course The Italian Job (with so many quotable lines.)
    You must've shot a lot of tigers. Yes -I used a machine gun !
    I like the 70s Alistair Maclean films like When Eight Bells Toll and Fear is the Key as well as Where Eagles Dare.

    Blade Runner - Ridley Scott's sci-fi masterpiece. Gorgeous film. Love the Director's Cut & I'll usually stop everything and watch it if it's showing on TV.

    Inception - Haven't actually seen it in a while, but easily my top pick for Chris Nolan. Ingenious premise, great cast, wonderful Bond homages... it's the best blend of sci-fi & action since The Matrix.

    Alien - Probably my favourite horror movie. Superb cast, direction & set design. Still scary after multiple viewings.

    The Avengers - Arguably *the* summer movie experience of 2012, Avengers was a total blast & a breath of fresh air in the wake of the relentlessly dour Dark Knight Trilogy. Far from perfect, but fun nevertheless.

    Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol - Also been a few years since I've seen it, but one of the best spy movies in recent years & the most fun I've had in theatres for a while. Ghost Protocol fills a niche that the recent Bond films no longer occupy.

    I'm with Lexi ...

    Love Actually and the Bridget Jones movies get watched pretty regularly but otherwise not a lot else.

    I quite often watch movies over and over that are repeated on TV but purposely watch a film,not much.

    During my teenage years there were two films that were on constantly. The Sound of Music ( yes, honestly) and Rocky Horror Picture Show. I still live both films.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    :)) The only couple of musicals I own are Little shop of horrors and
    The Rocky horror picture show. {[] love them both
    ( I'm proud to say I've never seen The sound of Music. ;) )
    Forgot to add I also have Hairspray. ;)

    The Universal and Hammer horror movies, especially the Frankenstein series (hence why my wife is Bride Of Barbel, my son is Son Of Barbel, we live in The House Of Barbel, etc).

    Ed Wood, Mystery Men, most Clint Eastwood films.

    A few, off the top of my head…

    The Long Goodbye

    The IPCRESS File

    This is Spinal Tap

    The Bourne Identity

    The Masque of the Red Death (Corman/Price version)

    Groundhog Day (This film, along with Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, sums up my philosophy of life)

    While The Long Goodbye is my favorite (yes, I know it's a controversial film loathed by many Chandler fans), I also love the Bogart/Bacall The Big Sleep and Dick Powell's turn as Marlowe in Murder, My Sweet.

    And I'm very much on the same page as you regarding Hammer and Universal horror films, especially Hammer.

    Yes, I love TLG as well. I'm wondering who today would be a good Marlowe- Bruce Willis 10 or 20 years ago, perhaps, but he's too old now.

    I just got a copy of "The Mummy's Shroud" yesterday, will probably watch it very late tonight.

    Speaking of JFK...Do people in the U.K. generally believe that Oswald acted alone, or do they generally assume there was a conspiracy. I don't want to get into a big debate with somebody over the assassination, I'm just curious how people in other countries view what happened.

    IMHO, he did not act alone. With everyone I know
    also believing this, I can't remember speaking yo anyone
    who thinks he acted alone.
    Infact there was a very good documentary showing how
    he could have been shot accidentily by the secret service !

    I totally agree. But there are tons of people in Canada, and more so in the United States that perpetuate this myth of Oswald being a lone nut, and a killer without a motive. Even CNN during the documentary series of The Sixties had two hours about the assassination, reiterating the same things, magic bullet, and all.

    I've always been really interested in JFK, and have read quite a few books on the subject, that's why I was curious.
