What is a good film?

For me if it's black and white it's usually pretty good

but it really depends on the subject matter

If only I could cure my OH of watching "The African Queen" whenever he feels like watching a good film! Mind you I can watch the old "thirty nine steps" at least once a year. As both of us know the story lines it must be the repeat enjoyment of a familiar story that appeals? 

So it doesnt need to be a new film to keep you interested? 

Don't do films on TV, unless it's something really special. In fact I can't remember the last time I watched one.

I watched 'Die Hard with a Vengeance' the other night in the absence of much else being available. I thought at the end of it 'what a waste of two hours of my life'. Some films are worthwhile whilst other leave you wishing you had spent the time more profitably.

Any film that doesn't hold my interest, I play with my Nintendo or any games app on my tablet or I go for a bath half way through the film

HIgh Noon is on at 12:45 today - I may record it (and add to the the ever increasing list of unwatched films)

Anything with gore, blood and violence holds my interest.

News at Ten fan then?

I love all the SFX/CGI movies, the more realistic the FX the better. Gladiator I've watched at least 6 times, I bought it on blu ray for an even better experience. The only old one I've particularly liked is D Day with all the old stars in it.
