If you think things can't get worse it's probably only because you lack sufficient imagination.

Thats a great film Cornish  :) I fell in love with it when I saw it, I have the book which is even better in my opinion, can send it to you if you like?

I love films, am a bit of a film geek  *&^ We've just watched Apaloosa (think thats how it's spelt....) Was surprisingly good for a westerney type film!
This too shall pass.

i seem to remember it was one of the first things we talked about on msn as we had both recently seen it.

ill have to take a look at apaloosa


used to love horror films but well its a bad idea for me now, even though i cant help watching anything zombie related.  even though i almost jump through the roof every few seconds  ::)

Yes... of course we did, sorry... I think Benji's memory is probably better than mine at the moment  ::)

ZOMBIES!  :D Yes, see... you need to get through this so that we can team up against the zombie uprising which is bound to come one day!

My favourite films tend to be adaptations of Shakespeare. I@m not obsessed with Hamlet - honest I'm not - but I do enjoy seeing that on film or on stage.

I love Westerns but I can't tell you why, maybe it's cos I like James Stewart and John Wayne.
I do like horror films but rarely find them scary.

The film I refuse to ever watch again is On Golden Pond and when I saw Happy Feet I nearly flooded the cinema!
I don't tend to watch animation anymore unless it is proper screwball like Looney Tunes.

I'll watch anything with Gary Oldman or Tim Roth in, especially my all time favourite film which has them both (and
Hamlet) - Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are Dead.

Generally I see more theatre than cinema butI watch lots of films on TV>
I haven't seen Apalooisa or Kind of a Funny Story, I'll keep an eye out for them though

Love my films.

One of my faves was the Shawshank Redemption i think.

A guilty pleasure is watching truly TERRIBLE films. Films SO bad they make you laugh. Im always on the lookout for something worthy of an evening in front of the telly with beer and laughter.

I love films as well. Escape From Alcatraz, Shawshank Redemption, horror, James Bond and some Clint Eastwood ones.

One of my favorite films is Monsters Vs Aliens. Yeah... the animation.
I love Insectosaurus. Absolutely fantastic character.

Stardust is also one of my favorite feel good films. Bit of a chick flick, but I think it's great none the less.

I also really enjoyed the fast and the furious films. They are great to put on and switch off your mind to. Great and ridiculous time killers

The first Harry Potter film is excellent too as it still has all the magic (no pun intended) about it.

the Saw series.... really really funny!

More serious films.... Usual Suspects, Stigmata, most Jet Li films, Blues Brothers.
I've asked for the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Played with Fire and Hornets Nest for xmas. Loved the books and want to see the films before the remake with Daniel Craig is released. Given the last film adaptation I seen that he was in (the Golden Compass) was terrible and ruined a perfectly good book!

To name but a few  )_+

Yeah I often watch the bad films on telly. I don't always laugh though, more likely to yell at them!


I'm afraid the Harry Potter films usually make me fall asleep - haven't seen one through to the end yet.
I should remember that when I@m going through an insomnia phase

Probably my illness, but it's just so nice to sit down on my own with a nice cup of tea and watch a film. I mean any film! It allows me to switch off and forget everything that is going on in my life, a kind of escapism. Even been known to visit the cinema by myself on occasion! Although I have to forget the tea!
