The Champ (Jon Voight / Faye Dunnaway) because i cry every single time. I have watched it endless times and it always brings emotion out.

Schlinder's list - because it is a dramatic film which is thought provocing.

[cliffsweb]

agree with badgerchps, the champ always makes me cry, thats why i love it.
2 empire of the sun crying again,
3 stand by me, cos its emotional and explores real frienship between teen boys, no crying here but almost.


we women enjoy weeping i think, lol

Transformers : The Animated Movie
It had the best animation of it's time and the music by Vince DiCola was fantastic.

Top Gun
Saw it when I was 15. High adrenaline action, high octane jets, best dogfighting sequences ever put to film, outstanding sound that rips through your seat and enveliopes you in the action, catchy catchphrases used every day since then and Meg Ryan when she was cute.

Stakeout
Funniest film I'd seen to date. Richard Dreyfuss is my fave actor. Partnership with Emilio Estevez worked really well.

pulp fiction-realisyic dialogue

football factory-realistic violence and atmosphere

trainspotting-i love the author of the book and the foilm was a good representation..

[-Zorro-]

Heat...Deniro against Pacino

Armageddon.....saves the world

Indiana Jones & Last Crusade....humour / anciant stuff ....great double act

[dimligump]

Easy! 1 - Bad Day at Black Rock
Spencer Tracy as a one-armed goody and Lee Marvin as a wonderful baddy in a one horse town in the 50s

2 - Sunset Boulevard
Brilliant film, turns a full circle (45 years before Quentin did it in Pulp Fiction) and you've got to watch it for the really famous extras

3 - The Searchers
John Wayne and his tiny feet (for a big bloke) at his best, keep reading between the lines for the real story

[Tha-Flash]

I was gonna say list 10 at first but I thought no way would ppl remember 10 or be bothered to write why for all :P

I am gonna watch some of these I like the sound of, I just couldn't remember any.

Thanks everyone, keep em coming :)

My favourites are

1 - romeo and juliet, just because it's been made so well (in my opinion) and is a great watch

2 - The butterfly effect, because the storyline is amazing, it's a good watch and at times, very emotional.

3 - cast away, this film makes me cry EVERY time I watch it... some people hate it but it's really really good!!

[sarnieken]

Top Gun - Loved it and made me want to join the RAF. A recent girlfriend and a prog on Channel 4 highlighted the homosexuality aspect of it and it just tarnished the whole film for me. Still love the dogfighting though.

Italian Job - Classic comedy with cars, amazing dialogue and a two-fingered salute to anyone who isn't English in a pre EU time.

Airplane - of all the comedies, this one has to be the yardstick for everything funny since then.

Peter's Friends :-I know so many people like those characters it's scarry.Emma Thompson's nerdy character is brilliant. Von Ryan's Express:-Watched it 4 times,keep hoping Frank Sinatra catches the train.Jack and Sarah:-Get the tissues out. That baby is so cute!
