Ok,
It's friday, we've finished with the week's graft...couple of bottles of quality red have been sunk.. and we're about to pop in a video as a precursor to a night of warmth and intimacy; but what to put on?
What films would put YOU in that warm and smiling frame of mind:
A few suggestions that might calm Artificer's throbbing temples..
-Il Postino
-Brief Encounter-(gets better with time, have done the pilgrimage to Carnforth)
-Amelie (I think I'm in love with Audrey Tatou)
-Magnolia
-Casablanca (Here's looking at you, Sappho)
-Local Hero
-Goodbye Mr Chips (Robert Donat version-I cry , just typing the title)
-Once upon a Time In The West ( every frame a thing of beauty)
-Witness (I want to be Amish)
-Notting Hill (I know, corny, but-well-excellent)
-It's a Wonderful Life (not just for Christmas)....
just a few suggestions, what do you think? Ben Dover?-was he in 'Love Story'?

Just a good film and one of Harrison Fords better ones.Arty, I have to say I agree with every one of your choices. What a man of taste you are!
Yes Fred, you're a man of taste too (mmm).
Can I suggest Ken Russell's 'Women in Love' - and not just for the homo-erotic wrestling between Alan Bates and Oliver Reed. I was madly in love with Glenda Jackson in that movie.
'All About Eve' - one of Bette Davis' finest movies.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. A feast for the eyes. And Michelle Yeoh.
Peter Greenaway, anyone? He's not to all tastes, but The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover is a damn sexy movie.
I'm not sure about Life Is Beautiful. Absolute genius, but perhaps best followed by quiet contemplation, not romance.

A few favourites:
Once Upon A Time In The West - fantastic. The only film Henry Fonda was a bad guy in. And what a bad guy. And the only film Charles Bronson was truly great in.
Life of Brian - come on. "Yes, we are all individuals!"
"If it's not a personal question?"
Blade Runner. Actually the original cut does it for me.
Horror - The Shining (Kubrick)
The Big Sleep
Rear Window
A Matter Of Life And Death
Get Shorty
The Birdcage

Awwwwww Mark deep throat is a terrible film.
I had some more thoughts on this to add to my previous:-
The Omen-wow are all kids like this?
Tales of the Crypt(original hammer version)-what a brilliant film
The Wickerman-cult viewing
The devil rides out-scary when i first saw it aged 13,only cos my mum wouldnt watch it alone
And no ive not gone all funny,i do like a good horror film that plays on your mind rather than than loads of gory special effects. :twisted:
