Ian just brought the box set of Band of Brothers reduced to £20 and he is loving it :thumbup:
Gosh now here's a question, being that we spend most weekends in front of the television glued to dvd's. I suppose you could call us "film buff's" for want of a cliche.
Lots of people say, "depends what mood I'm in" when talking about their favourite film/s, but I think a great film can invoke a certain mood/feeling and as such is a mark of its greatness!
Here are mine, I will also include films that we as a couple think are great too....
The Elephant Man
Se7en
Fallen
Man on Fire
Predator
David Copperfield original 1935 version
Rocky Anthology number 4 in particular redface
Home Alone surprisedops:
Just a varying collection of some of our favourites, though we really do spend too much time watching films!!
