[AfloatinClaret]

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Crocodile Dundee, the ultimate feel good movie. Another Aussie favourites - and another not suitable for the homophobes - is Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
No mention for the Magnificent Seven or The Great Escape either.

[Carlos the Great]

Goodfellas
Schindlers List
Naked Gun
Life of Brian

Schindlers list ? I didn’t find it that funny myself

[Rileybobs]

Schindlers list ? I didn’t find it that funny myself

If you were expecting a comedy then it’s not a surprise that you were left disappointed.

Incidentally, I think Schindler’s List is probably also my favourite movie of all time.

[n_ero]

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (the 70s one, although the remake with Denzel is actually quite good)
North by Northwest
Diabolique (1955, not the remake)
Marathon Man (is it safe?)
Out of Sight (should have won best picture)
The Princess Bride
Inside Man (that man Denzel again)
Training Day (there’s a theme here…)
The Frighteners

If you want to turn your brain off and be thoroughly entertained, I always go to Legally Blonde or Mission:Impossible 4.

If you want to try something different, Tenebre or The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (Italian ‘horror’ from the 70s/80s but more like Hitchcock with boobs and blood).

[Vegas Claret]

loads here I haven't seen, cheers lads

[CnBtruntru]

Have to add, Guardians of the Galaxy 1st one, opening scene was brilliant, song still in my head.

[Tribesmen]

Pulp Fiction
Goodfellas
Scarface .

Watch them back to back just before you to see Burnley take on Blackburn at the Turf , trust me you would be up for it .

[claret2018]

"The zone of interest".....playing now is tremendous.

Watched this last night. Amazing film.

[ecc]

Here's a few I've seen in recent months.

In the Heat of the Night: you can feel the heat and racial hatred of the Deep South. All the cast were excellent but Rod Steiger topped for me and deserved his Oscar

Mississippi Burning: Same place, same theme. KKK v Civil Rights' workers. Based on a true story, it's controversial but superb cinema with a brilliant cast led by Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe.

Mystic River: One of Clint Eastwood's best films as director. Murder mystery/ Superb cast led by Sean Penn, Tim Robbins and Kevin Bacon.

[Wokingclaret]

I think it’s streamable via Amazon in another country, maybe the US, so seems to have made its way online via illicit means.

Hope you enjoy.

I understand..
I have a 10 yr old girl but Fridays i get off (no fatherly duties) ......i go see a movie & have a couple of Belgian beers on the way home...love it, i had stopped going for years....there are some great films being made still.

[dermotdermot]

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. End of thread.

[Lord_Bob]

Great suggestions here, two that haven't been mentioned and are two classics (my opinion)

Cool Hand Luke - Newman should have won the Oscar.
Casablanca - all time Bogart classic.
