And here's me thinking wombat shufflers had no taste..
Btw The Silent Flute is better known by some as Circle of Iron (written by Bruce Lee)
Saw Jaws at 12 years old and blew me away, it still does at 43, Jaws 3 and 4 should be burnt and never shown again mind...
I hardly ever watch the same thing twice. If I do I'd want at least 10 to 20 years to have elapsed between viewings. I watched Papillon again recently and am tempted to read the book. I recall watching Platoon twice on consecutive days when it was released on video. Think it's the only film.
Haven't watched any of those Zorro.
I have watched Papillon twice, great film.

oh yeah - zulu, day the earth stood still and clint's dollar films.

12 Angry Men blows everything else on that original list to smithereens.

Three quarters the way through the book - worth a read - very down to earth commentary.

How have you never seen Jaws?
am i the only guy that thinks that they should have convicted the plaintiff in twelve angry men..
I fall asleep with specs on all the time, they dismiss the witness because she had indentations on her nose? might be long sighted, might be sunglasses. They basically say the witnesses were liars. Who wants the old man dead? has a knife like the boy? Also they say she couldn't hear because of the train going by. A lot of the time I lip read - go to a bar with loud music it's what everyone does?
I get that it's about reasonable doubt but it's a bit slanted.

Seen 12 Angry Men a few times over the years, I take Zorros point about the reasons for acquittal however I think that is a total side issue of the film, this is totally about personalities the claustrophobic way they have to come to a decision & one mans effort to punch his way through a brick wall, as acting goes this film is as good as it gets.
Once upon a time in America, long film but a masterpiece only film i watch on a yearly basis, two films recommended to me recently from the forum on another thread, We still kill the old way, and Julia i thought both we absolute ****..
no mention of shawshank redemption? too obvious?
Goes to show though that you don't need special effects costing a bomb. Special effects are used more to tart up a film with crap storylines.

Most Oscar winners are for for right on reasons and not entertainment imo.
If could only see one film again I'd pick There Will Be Blood.
I've not seen "There Will Be Blood" but I heard at the time of its release,4 or so years ago,that it was very good...My all time fave film is a film from 1955,Night Of The Hunter.
