that the greatest film of all time is Citizen Kane. Good film yes but greatest?
Anyway people's tastes vary so much in this respect. I mean I even heard that Sound of Music was up there in the lists. Come on, I would rather walk around with a bucket on my head than watch the S of M. If you want musicals Some Like it Hot has to be up there with the greatest
To me a good film is one that you want to watch again. The Sixth Sense does it for me. One with a real twist to the ending.
What floats your boat?

I so agree with you about Sound of Music. I remember watching it in the cinema and thinking I cannot stomach any more of this sugar!
I really enjoyed "Oliver!" Could watch that over again. There have been so many films over the years, I am sure there are other favorites, just can't think at the moment. Iris x
But that's why I said Tom hanks films, too many to name, I love castaway, big, saving private Ryan the list goes on but ultimately green mile out does them all for me xx Sonia xxx
Gosh that's a tough one, there are so many. As I said in a previous post can watch Footsteps in fog any time. Sixth sense great ending. Die Hard mainly for Alan Rickman, Les Mis, seen on stage umpteen times, and I know many hate the new film but I love it. Many old British black and white, specially those made in London, with the likes of Jack Hawkins, John Grigson etc. I could go on, and on and on.....
I watch some like it hot at least once a year, jack Lemmon is a delight
MisUse - liked many of the post war British black and white films but favourites of all time:-
The Sound of Music - can still picture my daughter as a small child singing all the songs with the actions too. The Guns of Navarone. Reach for the Sky. Hornblower R.N. The Cruel Sea. Dr Zhivago.
Haven't watched films for years - last one I went to the Pictures to see was The Deerhunters. I'd much rather read the book that spawned the film.
The moment I saw Superman flying to save Lois Lane has stuck with me for ever...It was Soooo real to me...I actually cheered I wasn't the only one...obviously a sci-Fi freak... but I don't care I loved it 😆
I had got it wrong as usual. The two you mentioned where great films but it was Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard with William Holden that i was thinking about.
God knows why I mentioned Bela Lugosi he wasn't in it.
Some Like it Hot, brilliant film, The Odd Couple, another superb Jack Lemmon film. What about Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers? I can watch them endlessly. Bringing up Baby with Cary Grant & Kathryn Hepburn, loved that! Hated the Sound of Music & couldn't bear Mamma Mia, truly awful. Deliverance is great, 7even, The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo (Swedish version), Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, Kelly's Heroes. Ooh I'm getting carried away there are SO many!!
I can't think of any modern horror films that were any good except The Shining with Jack Nicholson and the excellent Swedish horror vampire film Let the Right One In.
But the B&W films with Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi and Vincent Price were all top class.
