My all time favourite would have to be The Rocky Horror Picture Show, closely followed by Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, then Avatar.

Lots of the above. Favourites include They Shoot Horses Dont They? and Fargo, Vertigo, Ratcatcher, The Sting, Victim (Dirk Bogarde)

But last night we watched Ken Loach's Spirit of '45 with friends. It almost made us weep for the loss of all those wonderful developments following WW2 - NHS, council housing etc. So moving see old people interviewed expressing their wonder that they could get free healthcare after all the struggles for survival they had been used to. A timely reminder with NHS privatision threatening and the bedroom tax hitting many.

The Usual Suspects. Great film and a good twist.

Recommended for time capsule and future generations....

I would put David Attenborough's entire life filming

and also Jacques Cousteau entire film collection

Then perhaps an entire catalogue of the great music composers, a compilation of historical and present, to include all cultures.

I was once fortunate to attend one of David Fanshawe's live concerts, it was an incredible experience and included recordings and live compilations of music from around the world. I cannot begin to describe such an experience, there just are no words. No recording seems to have reached into me as did the live experience. For those that don't know of David Fanshawe here is his website:

fanshawe.com/

Its great to remember the great things in life and the great things and people this planet has to offer.

Just to confuse people opening the time capsule, I would include Mister ED and also Doctor Doolittle. I wonder what future generations would think on finding all those talking animals. All the best, Larry
