[Mr Phoebus]

Blithe Spirit,

I love this quote from that film:

Violet Bradman: I must say I find bicycling very exhausting. Those awful hills...
Madame Arcati: Just knack. Down with your head, up with your heart, and you're over the top like a flash and skimming down the other side like a dragonfly.


I really enjoy all the old Ealing comedies, too.

Too many favourites to make a list, but I'm a huge fan of the Bourne Identity/Supremacy films, I can't wait to see the new one this weekend. Bourne Supremacy is one of the very few sequels that has been as good (if not better) than the original film!

I've added IMDB links for some of mine.

Princess Mononoke
Withnail and I
Lord of the Rings (yes I know!),
13 Tzameti
The Navigator: A Mediaeval Odyssey
Peeping Tom

Edit - I need to add this: Hellraiser - despite some rather weak sequels this was a quirky little British horror flick.

I might have to come back and edit this if more come to mind.

Blade Runner

 

[Tetedelacourse]

the straight story pleases me greatly. I know not why.

Agree with EMD about Bourne sequel.

 

[chris42]

Breakfast Club

 

[Aperitif]

Truman Show
Paris, Texas
Apocalypse Now
Four Weddings

and lots more when I can think of them.

Yeah - Paris Texas.... Ry Cooder

 

[Melvil]

the straight story pleases me greatly. I know not why.

Agree with EMD about Bourne sequel.

Aye, the straight story is an excellent film indeed. David Lynch, though, is an excellent director. Another fave is 'Dune'.

Yeah they are good. They've restored my faith in thrillers!

La Haine. French and very,very good IMO. The ending still surprises me.
Glengarry Glenross.

 

[Kirstie]

Can't really decide on a favourite but I've seen two exceptionally good films lately:

- The Secretary (a really excellent look at the psychology of BDSM)
- This is England (about a young lad's embroilment in a skinhead gang, set in the early 80s).

Both brilliant and very quirky.
