My favorite films
Been perusing the IMDb website this evening and it made me think about my favourite films and why .. so here are few of mine in no particular order
Goodfellas - A fantastic, brutal overview of true mob life predominately in the early 70's and for all that camaraderie...it all came down to one thing ...looking after number 1
American Beauty - Magical portrayal of the typical dysfunctional family ...and one hot babe
Toy Story - Stuff the kids .....I was spellbound 8)
An American Werewolf in London - Funny, frightening and all the better for being shot in the UK - Classic
Saving Private Ryan - Cried through the first 20 minutes ...how could we put human beings through that? ...albeit americanised ...one of the very best war films.
Anyone care to share theirs ??21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Notting Hill - I know it's a bit gay, but it gives me hope that one day Julia Roberts will walk in to my life and I'll get to shag herThe surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us yet.
An American Werewolf in London - Funny, frightening and all the better for being shot in the UK - Classic
And the pub in the film is just down the road from you.Loving the power of the TDV8!

If Julia Roberts knew you liked Notting Hill she'd probably think you weren't her type!
