What is your favourite film?

Jay · 17th July 2011, 22:13

Most people have an idea of a film or two that they would put in their all time films to watch.
You can back it up with why you like it, or a brief summery or link etc.
Some may be more obvious than others, but that doesn't matter.
For starters,
Withnail and I.

Very funny and great music.

12 Angry Men. Best film ever made IMO.

Directed by Sidney Lumet it cost $350,000 and was nominated for 3 Academy Awards, not bad for his first film. No blood, no cgi just outstanding acting. All you really need in a film.
