I fell in love with Clint Eastwood when I first saw W.E.D
Donald Pleasance? He was the blind P.O.W in Colditz?
My fav genre of film is war movies,hence Bridge Too Far is one of my nominated favs.
Strange I know for a girlie but love them.

Godfathers 1 & 2

The Scent Of A Woman
The Deerhunter
A Few Good Men

Not quite the question, but one to avoid is definitely the new Robin Hood. Not even worth spending 10 dirhams from the dodgy Chinese DVD lady let alone going to the cinema.
It's irritating initially due to being full of completely unnecessary historical inaccuracies and then of course there's also Russell Crowe's accent which veers wildly between Scouse, Irish and the odd bit of Dick van Dyke style cockney.
Mostly though, it's because the plot, script, and acting are completely shite.
