Re: What is your best film of all time?
I don't have a favourite film, because what I want to watch very much depends on what mood I'm in. The Shawshank Redemption is a great film, but I wouldn't always want to watch it. 12 Angry Men (Henry Fonda, 1957) is a superb film, and I've seen it several times ..... but I'd have to be in the right mood to watch it again.
There's other films that I thoroughly enjoyed at the time (The Matrix, Ice Age or Pirates of the Caribbean) but I'm not sure I'd want to watch them again, and certainly not in the near future. So what's "favourite"? The film I most enjoyed the first time I saw it, or the one I'm most likely to watch again? To be honest, "favourite film" is, for me, a question for which there is no answer. It's a moving target. |

Re: WHAT IS YOUR BEST FILM OF ALL TIME
My best film? Sum of all beers - The Quarry Bank Chronicles, its being released on dvd this weekend.
My favourite film? too tough to call as it seems I'm very similar to Saracen in this respect, the best film I've seen recently however is A Scanner Darkly, brilliant adaptation of the book with a really cool visual style to boot, highly recommended.  Jeff Goldblum : Beating alien invasions with Mac Powerbooks since 1996 XBL & PSN Tag : MortsApprentice

AVP2?  I expect I'll enjoy it, but I'm surprised they got the chance to make another. Edit: 18 Jan 08 in the UK. Last edited by mroz; 06-09-2007 at 11:50 PM.. |
