hmmm, I can see a bit of overlap of my favourites with Bellenden Belle,


I make no claims that this is the list of best films ever, purely the films I enjoy the most and would happily rewatch repeatedly, and with that caveat here goes:-


Breakfast at Tiffany's

The Truth About Cats and Dogs

Ferris Buellers Day Off

Before Sunrise / Before Sunset

Charade

High Fidelity

Four Weddings and a Funeral

When Harry met Sally

Bridget Jones

Dirty Dancing


Basically I'm an unashamed chick flick fan and a huge fan of Audrey Hepburn - in my opinion never been nor ever will be a film star more elegant and graceful than her.

Hey, Loz you realise I am not talking about the Oliver Reed "Castaway" but the Tom Hanks "Cast Away" - yep, I know, stodgy Tom doing his thing, stodgily - but he did win a Golden Globe for Best Actor for it. Has it's flaws but a great film.

The fact that no-one else has included "The Pianist" in their list makes me think that people are missing out on this gem.

TBH I'm a big sucker for anything John Carpenter during his purple patch which pretty much ended there


Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

Starman (1984)

Christine (1983)

The Thing (1982)

Escape from New York (1981)

The Fog (1980)

Halloween (1978)

Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)

Dark Star (1974)


a couple of iffy ones during that period - made for TV biopic of Elvis anyone? - and even Ridley Scott can have a GI Jane you know, but not a bad run I'd say.

    • Interesting question as I always think of Franco Manca as a local restaurant after eating in the original in Brixton Market decades ago but you then see they have places all over the UK so are very much a chain - although I hasten to add I was eating in the original as a teenager when it was just Franco's!!!
    • When I had a property with a basement there would often be a pool of water in the centre. I was told it was related to the fluctuating height of the water table in the area (se22) and would not become a problem and the only way to get rid of it would be to get the whole place completely tanked. 
    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
