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.

    • Any of the above looking for a new home?
    • Looking for a portable dvd player,   
    • No hesitation in recommending Pavel and his excellent company. So glad we were able to have a slot in the schedule. Our move has been stressful in many ways so it was a huge relief to have the contents of our home dealt with by kind, responsive professionals. 
    • I have someone from Which Tech phoning on Monday afternoon. I couldn't get an earlier appointment. I am hoping that now there is a visible display, they will be able to get me online and then  remotely control the laptop and identify what went wrong and whether it is an ongoing fault or, if not, whether it is likely to recur. If they can't, or if they identify a hardware fault,  I will have to grit my teeth and let John Lewis's third party "repair" company take it away and deal with it 😭 I'm very grateful for your advice, but when I saw "Windows will restart automatically" my immediate reaction was to think "but suppose it doesn't" and "suppose the screen goes black again" which I know is very negative but I'd rather someone else was there when I did it, albeit on the end of the phone! Meanwhile, every cloud etc, as I have installed Word on my phone, which I didn't know was possible, and I have been editing and printing documents from there.  I haven't investigated whether I can do the same with Excel, but I will see what happens on Monday.
