Favourite Directors and untalented cunts can all be discussed here! I’ll kick off by sayin’ my 3 Favourite Directors are David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick and Orson Welles, and that my favourite films are Blade Runner, Apocalypse Now, Brazil and The Wicker Man.

Doubt I could do a top ten, but much love for Both Bill and Teds, Breakfast Club, BTTF and Rocky I and VI If you’ve not seen it, Still Crazy is a total grower. Finest movie of the last 10 years I’d call as Let the Right One In. Favourite cinema experience of the last 12 months has to be Drive. Spellbinding. I’ve started going to the BFI and intend to start going to places like the Prince Charles Cinema to catch 35m showings of classics in the next few months. So feel free to tag along. I saw the theatrical release of Aliens on film last year. People cheered on the “Get away from her you bitch line”. February 4, 2012 at 5:40 pm #114895 siParticipant Still not seen Still Crazy, although some loon left me a load of old videos, and that was amongst them. Have found 108 films in my flat. I think I’ve mentioned 8 so far, so I’ll stick The Money Pit in there, and a Bill and Ted – probably Excellent Adventure over Bogus Journey, I think. February 4, 2012 at 5:50 pm #114896 AlexParticipant Still not seen Still Crazy, although some loon left me a load of old videos, and that was amongst them. In some ways, as a film about what it’s like to be in a band, I prefer it to Spinal Tap. The soundtrack is rather good too, but when you see who the musicians involved were to soon see why. February 4, 2012 at 6:18 pm #114898 Seb PatrickKeymaster Just seen the new Muppets film. It’s lovely and it’s hilarious. February 4, 2012 at 6:32 pm #114900 CarlitoParticipant Forgot to add Four Lions. That film is amazing. February 4, 2012 at 8:05 pm #114905 Stephen R. FletcherParticipant It’s really hard to think of a definite top 10 list – like ori-STUDFARM said earlier, the list would probably change every time you’d ask me. But I am going to see the new Muppet film tomorrow, which I’m really excited about. I’m a big Muppet fan and Jim Henson fan in general so I would add the previous 6 movies to my list (even Muppets From Space which, despite some of it’s flaws, I still find enjoyable). 1 or 2 of the TV films (if made for TV movies count) I probably wouldn’t add though. February 4, 2012 at 8:09 pm #114906 UncreativeUserNameParticipant > Withnail & I (this is my all time favorite) Picked up the Blu Ray of this for £3 the other day. Felt like I’d achieved a great accomplishment on that day. FELT is the key word here. February 4, 2012 at 8:51 pm #114912 pfmParticipant Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of my favourites. Kate Winslet couldn’t be any more perfect than she is in this… and it’s in Jim Carrey’s top 3 performances, for me (the others being A Christmas Carol (yes) and…Ace Ventura ;)) It makes me cry….. February 4, 2012 at 9:19 pm #114917 Stephen R. FletcherParticipant Couldn’t agree more with you there. Love that film too and I also love the soundtrack! :o) February 5, 2012 at 6:31 am #114939 CarlitoParticipant Carrey is pretty awesome in The Truman Show too. But Eternal Sunshine is superb all round. February 5, 2012 at 11:00 am #114945 UncreativeUserNameParticipant Carrey’s best performance is definetely Eternal Sunshine. But my personal favourite has to be in The Mask. Perfect casting. Can watch that film again and again. And usually I hate his OTT performances. February 5, 2012 at 11:13 am #114946 Seb PatrickKeymaster I think his best performance is Man on the Moon. The best film he’s in (and the one in which he’s most perfectly cast, given the context of the time) is The Truman Show. But his most surprisingly brilliant performance, given how understated and uncharacteristic it is, is Eternal Sunshine. Which is another film that would definitely edge close to my favourites list. February 5, 2012 at 11:13 am #114947 Seb PatrickKeymaster Oh, and his best comedy is Dumb and Dumber. Which, now that I think of it, should probably be in my list somewhere. February 5, 2012 at 2:24 pm #114952 redhead85Participant > Directors: Wong Kar-wai ‘In the Mood for Love’ is utterly beautiful. February 5, 2012 at 2:38 pm #114953 Tarka DalParticipant Didn’t get on with Eternal Sunshine at all. Had heard such great things, but came away disappointed. February 5, 2012 at 6:17 pm #114960 CarlitoParticipant Dumb and Dumber is also great. Not too optimistic about this proposed sequel though. > But his most surprisingly brilliant performance, given how understated and uncharacteristic it is, is Eternal Sunshine Agree totally, but he puts in another surprising turn in The Number 23 which doesn’t tend to get a lot of love, but I thought was pretty good. Unusual role for Mr C. February 5, 2012 at 9:56 pm #114970 Pete Part ThreeParticipant The Number 23 is amazing. Amazingly bad. Ha. Do you see? February 5, 2012 at 10:22 pm #114972 CarlitoParticipant It does suffer from including “unexpected twist ending #1 2000-2010” but I thought his performance was great, the story is decent and the fantasy sequences with Carrey as Fingerling were very good too. Hmm, it has a bad rap, and it shouldn’t!
