What is yours?
For me it has to be the whole Lord of the Rings saga, wholly based in New Zealand where there are landscapes of great magnificence. Probably a favourite because I’m into the fantasy/deep lore type films.

I regret only seeing Return of the King in the cinema. They were films that needed the big screen.
That said, they're still very very good films. Haven't watched the Hobbit, didn't really fancy it.
Of the new films out, I've been generally disappointed. The Meg was terrible, didn't like Solo, saw Dunkirk on Sky the other evening and didn't think much of that tbh. It's a shame 'cos they spend loads more money just making endless super hero movies. That said, my mate liked Incredibles 2 and Tel's always going on about how good the new Ant Man is. |
The Hobbit is more story, less fighting.
I love the battles though so LOTR was great. I think LOTR really has depth if you think about it. |  |

The only LOTR/Hobbit film I have stayed awake through is the one where Ed Sheeran sings about the dragon |  |

The influence of LOTR on other massive franchises is amazing. Game of Thrones was partly inspired by LOTR. Even Harry Potter, there are loads of similarities. | |

I've never seen the original Blade Runner, mainly 'cos I ALWAYS fall asleep ten minutes in.
People keep telling me it's a classic but I just can't stay awake to see it.
I've never managed to watch all of an X-Men film either. I get distracted and then forget about going back
Movies I've never seen the end of:
Blade Runner
X-Men
The Matrix
Eyes Wide Shut
Blade
Armageddon
Movies I've seen but wouldn't fancy seeing again:
Independence Day
Hitch
The Howling
Prometheus
Inception
Interstellar
Movies I tend to watch no matter how often they're on
Back to the Future
Batman Begins
Training Day
Enemy of the State
Erin Brockovich
Fight Club
Silence of the Lambs
Terminator 2
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Gremlins |  |

I've watched one or two of the LOTR films and enjoyed them but I'm out of touch with how many there are these days. Is it like Star Wars in that there's certain ones you should watch, in a certain order, and not bother with others? |  |

There are 6. Watch the three Hobbit ones first then the LOTR trilogy.
The odds they overcame to win are amazing, it's a cracking documentary. | |

I watched the original Blade Runner for the first time the other night and it gets a Sentence Rating of 'errrmmmm OK'.
Not sure what all the fuss was about.
The actress who played the replicant has been in a bit of bother with the law in AmericaLand recently, I found that more interesting. |  |

Eyes Wide Shut is worth watching all the way through, you get to see Nicole Kidman's bottom, more than once. although in fairness it's not the only film that you get a little peak of her derrier, Dead Calm is another, in fact I think, most of her films. | |

That is possibly my all time favourite.
Ends in a draw every time that I watch it though. |  | | |

Slightly at a tangent but the film that has made the greatest impression on me is/was The Exorcist when it was first released(1973 or 1974).
It was the first time, to my knowledge, that anything like that had been done and I think the best word to describe it was stunning.
I saw it with a group of mates in Ipswich and on leaving the cinema everyone (not just us) was walking out in a sort of stunned silence. | | | |

Ignore Libby, do as I say and you'll thank me. The first Hobbit film is slow to get going but it's worth sticking with it for the Battle of the Five Armies. | |

Think it got re-released after it was banned for what must have been its 25 year anniversarry.
had the same affect on me years later saw it in the now closed odeon with some mates must have been 18/19 at the time...some of us where messed up by it, some laughing as they just saw it as dated without modern day graphics etc... |  | | |

films are like footballers for me favourite and best are not always the same...
favourite films you always stick on like top gun, grease because they are enjoyable although something of a guilty pleasure you know they are not the greatest films ever...
forrest gump , taxi driver, the shining great films due to Hanks, De Niro and Nicholson acting brilliance. | | | |

Excalibur. Romantic French re-working of a Roman trained Cornish horseman defeating the Anglo-Saxons.
Let's hope Michel Barnier isn't a fan! |  | | |

I am sure anyone seeing The Exorcist now for the very first time would wonder what all the fuss was about because most of it has been copied over and over again in several other films but first time out all of it was frighteningly new.
As I said in my first post, I and a lot of others were stunned by it. | | | |

A tad of an exaggeration! The early 70s was packed full of credible horrors | | | |
