What is a good film?

We have films we watch again and again.... Gladiator, Master and Commander (such a shame they didn't make another), oH loves Ealing Comedies. When we had all four log cabins up at Carradale site, we did a film night for rest of family in our cabin....top of the bill was Whiskey Galore! Num-nah, num-nah, di diddley diddley num-nah-nah..... even the teenagers enjoyed it, mind you, don't think they had ever seen anything like it before.....

Monty Python's life of Brian still makes me laugh. Other favourites include The Godfather, Schindler's list, West side Story, The Shining.....depends on the mood!

Bargains alert! iTunes currently have a sale on, some great films for just £1.99, £2.99, £3.99........west side story included!

I have indulged!

We saw a complete set of Python Movies DVDs somewhere, I just can't remember where, but it was cheap! 

Ooh! Shindlers list haven't watched that in ages, Shawshank redemption is another. 

Ralph Fiennes is my favourite actor. Chilling in Schindlers List. Brilliant in The English Patient. 

I must admit to being a lover of lots of different kinds of film, Sci-fi, thriller, action, murder mystery and don’t tell anyone but even rom-coms. I don’t know what makes a good film but I have watched A Few Good Men two or three times.

Like Tammy Girl, I tend to watch films on the tv and have a large collection stored on a couple of hard drives. Soon I will be able to watch even more movies when my new Kodi tv box arrives.

Oh yes that's another good one   I like all kinds of films too, mood dependant. I quite often put on Mama Mia when I'm busy making cards in my craft room, I know it off by heart so just enjoy the music, don't need to watch it. If I'm having a duvet day (not often) I like 7 Brides for 7 Brothers 

One of my favourite films is musical but also full of fantastic dancing...Baz Luhrmann's Strictly Ballroom. Great story, great music and great dancing! I bought His Moulin Rouge yesterday on ITunes for £1.99!

The film by which I judge whether or not another is a good film is The Cruel Sea.  Being a sad person, I have watched it so many times, I almost know the script off by heart

I really like the film "Gettysburg" Incredibly well shot and some great music too!   Historically pretty accurate, and its got one very unusual factor in it.  The producer obviously recognised that in the Battle which took place in July 1862, there were no women involved. So there are no women in the film!  That must have been quite a brave decision, but taken in the spirit of accuracy I suppose.  But compare it with such a dreadful film as Pearl Harbour, where a film supposedly depicting another Historical battle is totally Hi Jacked by a spurious and fictional love story!

Musical score by Randy Edelmann is outstanding!
