Just Another Saturday
I watch at least 10 films per week, all good quality work since I want to work within the industry and my mother already does. Age shouldn't really come into it should it DJHawkes, or would you prefer me to be watching Glee, squealing over Justin Bieber and posting pictures of One Direction on Facebook instead?
Do you watch films?
Wharton, Hotel Rwanda was awesome, I like Terry George's work, have you seen In The Name Of The Father?xx
mmm... Les Enfants du paradis, Casablanca, 2001, LOTR (not The Hobbit though)... I don't really watch too many modern films as my hearing is so shonky, I get old ones on DVD and switch on the subtitles. I manages with The Artist, for obvious reasons.
Rather liked Blade Runner too. And Steamboat Bill Jr.
You're a romantic Cupid:)
I love The Green Mile and the Godfather films are iconic. Also remembering lots I should have mentioned.
Requiem For a Dream, Hideous Kinky, Valkyrie, Inglorious Bastards, Fifth Element.
The Quiet Man
Went the Day Well
Zulu
The Way to The Stars
To Kill a Mockingbird
Jason and the Argonauts
Dr Zhivago
Goodfellas
Gone With The Wind
The Man in the Suit
I try to watch 8 modern and 2 classic films per week Jno, just finished Napolean (Abel Gance) which must have been mind blowing in it's day, and love The Marx Bros stuff, still very funny. I'd forgotten Blade Runner as well.

2. Crash
3. Shawshank
4. Let The Right One In
5. Le Huitiemme Jour

I keep meaning to watch To Kill A Mockingbird, it's on my list, as is Le Huitiemme Jour now, that's the second recommendation I've heard for that.
