This is dog rubbish! I asked richey if he corrected vlaamse. He does not. He will ignore this, if he knows what good for him is.

But he can also tell me what films are good. The beach is a great film Gary. You know I went there once. I here now all the tourism has ruined the island. I hate this modern development. It makes me sad and ANGRY!

Good for you.

All time faves that spring to mind:

American Beauty
Contact
Mulholland Drive
Twin Peaks
Inteview With The Vampire
Pulp Fiction
Snatch
Lock Stock
Original Star Wars Trilogy
American History X
The Wizard Of Oz
LOTR
Amelie
The Devil's Advocate

Blazing Saddles still makes me laugh, but I have a puerile sense of humour.
Life of Brian is impossibly funny.

Liked the Tim Burton Batman films, but would take Nightmare before Xmas as a fave. However Christina Ricci in Sleepy Hollow is rather lovely

Vanya on 42nd Street is a neat reworking of Chekhov, and I loved Onegin when that came out.
Sticking with the Russian theme I'd also recommend Kukusha for an exquisitely filmed production (not a bad story either, but a bit slow and too dependant on a laboured linguistic confusion). And film nerds wouldn't want to miss Russian Ark, shot in a single 90-minute take in the Hermitage. It's a technical tour-de-force, but a deep knowledge of Russian history would have made it more watchable. Hey ho!

American Beauty is good, thoroughly enjoyed both American Splendor and Lost in Translation last week [note for spelling pedants: AS is an American film and adopts the US spelling of the word more commonly known as 'splendour'. Don't blame me]

Can I suggest Cabaret without calling my sexuality into question? I played in a stage band for a production of the musical when I was a kid and was bowled over by it.

Spiceworld was rather splendid, in a strangely crap kind of a way.

I love that film. Made a big impression when I was a naive teenager.

actually, i dont think he'd mind this one so much

it has actually sparked some debate about why peopel like they films they do... rj seems to have more of a problem with endless (and pointless) "top 10" lists that dont actually tell you anything interesting

too fat....I'm trying to eat healthy for the moment....
I don't like steamed dishes (and a lot of the polish dishes are....), I love kugel, that's true :drool:

Too many to list,but my all time Top Three are:
Cocteau's " La Belle Et La Bete"
Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange"
and Herzog's " Nosferatu" (though I'm quite partial to the silent one too)
I have to say I also like a lot of the films also listed here by my fellow Heartlanders

Oh and i forgot to say "spirited away" as well

Dougal and the Blue Cat
Withnail and I

for starters..
