Must see films

[alisonsvintagechicboutique]

What are your 'must see' films ?:|  I am interested to know.  I'm living on my own in the flat and loving the fact I can watch anything I like now!  There are so many films including great classics that I have never seen. 

The only things I am not into are horror and sci fi or anything involving planes crashing or boats sinking.  If you have the time can you tell me a little about some of your must see films (no endings please lol!). 

The one's I'm planning so far are a varied mix including The Shawshank Redemption, Saturday Night Fever, Breakfast at Tiffanys, A Wonderful Life, Gone with the Wind, Dr Zhivago and The Sound of Music (well maybe lol!)

No matter how old or new the film please recommend away!

Alison you must add "Mary Poppins" and "Bed Knobs And Broomsticks" to your list.

I know I'm sad and nuts ;-)............but both those films still give me such fun to watch even now and even though I've seen them hundreds of times.

They're both really good if you're feeling stressed or down as it's total escapeism at it's best :-x

I don't do any horror or sci fi or thrillers of any sort...........my mind can't cope with them.

"White Christmas" is another must see in my opinion 😄

Saving Private Ryan and  The green Mile are a couple of our favourites, plus a must for me is dirty dancing (I so loved Patrick Swayze :-()

But for classics Goodbye Mr Chips or Miracle on 34th Street 🙂

The Green Mile, Dances with Wolves, The King's Speech, Lovely Bones (really thought I would hate this but enjoyed it), Marley and Me, Ice Age, Elf

(I don't like horror or Sci-Fi either)

Mr Pix has watched Saving Private Ryan so many times, I swear he could recite it word for word!!

Miracle on 34th Street is so lovely ................ One of the films I want to watch during Crimbo, everyone moans at me "Oh God Mum, we've seen that so many times". I still love it

Oh, Golly - I know it's so corny, but Love Story with Ryan O'Neil and Ali McGraw. One of my most favourite films. I watched it so many times when I was young. One time at my grandparents house the house was full of family, I was watching it and my Grampa was with me, he didn't want to be there really. I was sobbing away, and everyone else was laughing at me - he was a very fierce chap and threatened them all with a thump if they carried on. The two of us continued to watch it in peace (but he so didn't want to watch it, he was just looking out for me). Happy days 🙂

Oh yes "Goodbye Mr Chips" is a wonderful film 😄

Dirty Dancing :-x Patrick Swayze:_|

Is Goodbye Mr Chips the wartime one with John Thaw? 

[alisonsvintagechicboutique]

I can go with corny, slushy, silly - any films if you think they are good that's obviously for a reason and I want to know - even if they are kids films!!!

[merc1_clocks]

Oh gawd..' Love Story '...my favourite too !

Pretty Woman

An Officer & a Gentleman

Meet Joe Black

Moulin Rouge

Mamma Mia

Top Gun

[kiss*my*pixel]

No, that's Goodnight Mr Tom. Also great, but a TV series rather than a film

Mr Chips great

[ilove2patch]

Hmmmmm! I don't do corny or slushy so won't be much help here. I guess Coraline & the Corpse Bride won't be any good then.:-p Life of Brian is a fave as is Lord of the Rings.

Stating the obvious, but The Great Escape, The Longest Day

Also, Philadelphia (A real Boo-Hoo Film)

[start-the-fire]

Shawshank was first on my list-

Gosford park

i'd say  another must see is koyaanisqatsi, hard to say why, its nor a traditional film

being there  - peter sellers  is another oddish film

i love 7 brides for 7 brothers to cheer me up (wore out 2 video tapes )

and Juno ive watched a few times

[alisonsvintagechicboutique]

They not obvious to me Pixel i have not seen any of those. 

I am seeing a few repeats come up - thats good! 

I adore Moulin Rouge, Merc!! 

Lol at me confusing Mr Tom with Mr Chips!! 

[stan3502]

Also love the Harry Potter films though never thought I would but once I'd taken the children I think I enjoyed then more than they did.

Supposed to be going to see Gatsby on sat and really looking forward to that

[captainbovine]

the King and I, the old one with Yul Bryner, oh boy that's a good 'un!

also liked the Ladykillers, again the old version with Alister Sim...really funny film.

Philadelphia is a great film, certainly watch that one.

sounds daft I know, but there's a cowboy film...yes I know we all hate them but bear with me...with John Wayne is Called  True Grit, it's about a wee girl who pays John Wayne to find the man who killed her father, it's really good, very funny in places too, it's not a typical western thank goodness they get on me wick...try it it's good.

Crikey Start-theFire - you certainly started something there for me! Some I'd totally forgotten - have to find them now!
