Maybe we have some common ground
@Lewis83 what are some of your favourite movies?
I like:
King Kong (1933)
Taxi Driver
Fight Club
North by Northwest
Wizard of Oz
Dancing in the Rain
You?
I think the only films I haven't seen on that list are North by Northwest and Dancing in the Rain. I do like Taxi Driver and King Kong, although I've only seen them once, I prefer Taxi Driver to Mean Streets, I didn't really enjoy it as much as Taxi Driver.
As for my favourites, its hard to say as my opinion keeps changing, but I'll list a few of them.
The Thing (1982)
Batman (1989) I think this one might be more about childhood nostalgia, but it's still one I go back to.
Planet of the Apes (1968) The original series of films is actually quite good.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) Its basically just one action set piece after another, but its a lot of fun.
The Matrix (1999) This is maybe a boring choice, but I still get a kick out of watching the first one.
Evil Dead 2 (1987)
Lavender Hill Mob (1951)
