Dambusters must have seen a dozen times but i love it. Should be preserved in honour of those brave lads who gave so much.

[Toci]

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

Zulu

300

Bugsy Malone and I usually hate musicals

Sparticus

Great Escape

Itailan Job 1

Kingdom of Heaven

Blue Velvet

[barnsleysue in reply to Offcut]

All good films ....:)sue

[O2Trees]

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.

[Lynne1955]

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.

[barnsleysue in reply to Hidden]

We have got a compilation of David Attenborough's The Life Collection ...Frozen Planet ...Yellowstone. Ect ....Wowzeeeeeeeerrrrrr :)sue

[lrryjay]

American hot wax. A great true film about the birth of rock and roll. Larry

[barnsleysue in reply to lrryjay]

Very good sue

[lrryjay]

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

[barnsleysue in reply to lrryjay]

A horse is a horse of course of course and no one can talk to a horse of course ..there is of course the famous horse ,talk to mister ed .go right to the horse and ask the horse he'll give you the the answer that you endorse ,there always is a steady course, talk to mr ed .... or something like that lol : sue
