School for Scoundrels

Breakfast at Tiffanys
quote]
good to see audrey hepburn in your list IC, never seen school for scoundrels though and really must make a point of tracking it down some time

breakfast at tiffanys - she's so gloriously fickle, I want to be her!
amelie - just a beautiful quirky film
brief encounter - makes me cry like no other film ever will
some like it hot - so funny
How to marry a millionaire and Gentlemen prefer blondes continuing the mariyln theme a bit but they are just fabulous
The importance of being earnest (NOT the 2002 remake!!!) - a HAndbaGGG???
The time machine - I'm still scared by the future creatures in this film



oh and...
BIG, Airplane,gremlins, mary poppins, the little shop of horrors,the indiana jones films and life of brian and any steve martin or mel brooks film - OK so they are cheesy as hell, but I will always watch them if they are on and I still laugh at them.

Some Like it Hot
Casablanca
Once Upon A Time in the West
Brief Encounter (will you shut up and bugger off you annoying woman!!!)
The Hunger (sexiest love scene ever)
Lesbian Vampires 3 (1,2 and 4 were rubbish)

As well as most of the above!

Also forgot about Man Bites Dog - that's a cracker of a film but a bit sick (jet black humour)!

All time favourite film ever has to be Blade Runner, with zillions of very close runners up.

Recently though, I very much enjoyed Little Miss Sunshine - an absolute gem.

I agree with little miss sunshine, funniest ending to a film ive ever seen.

The Happiness Of The Katakouris

Is that the one with all the bumpings-off? Wasn't there a musical remake of it? Or am I thinking of something different...

 

[NickM]

...Goodbye Pork Pie...

Unusual choice, TimO - I like it, but it doesn't make my first eleven. Whereas Utu, by the same director, Geoff Murphy, most definitely does - have you seen it?
