However, I have young grand children and now I do get to watch films and TV shows over and over again.

I went to see The Great Escape 6 times at the cinema when I was a nipper. Can still watch it with enjoyment now.

Anything with Alec Guinness in it. The Ladykillers and Kind Hearts and Coronets among the comedies and Bridge on the River Kwai and any of the George Smiley stuff (not properly a movie, I know) among the dramatic roles.

Duck Soup by the Marx Brothers, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Dr. Strangelove are still, for me, the funniest movies ever made.

I also watch The Godfather and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince far more often than I care to admit.

I doubt that you wandered over to the Crescent on Dewsbury Road (now a world famous knocking shop :) ). You probably went to the Lounge or Cottage Road or Hyde Park.

The Odeon in The Headrow/Briggate, probably shut now

The Lyceum cinema in Cardigan Road was the closest to us. Remember seeing the Beatles film 'A Hard Days Night' there

I wouldn't rate them as great films, or even among my favourites, but the two films I've ended up watching countless times are A Few Good Men, and Die Hard.

Favourites (those that made most impact when I first watched them) include Trainspotting and The Dark Knight.

Funny how some people love a few films I'd rather gouge my eyes out than watch :lol:

But off the top of my head some of my faves:
Snatch
Kill Bill (Vol 2)
Pulp Fiction
The Godfather (like 'em all actually)
Fifth Element
Rocky - guilty pleasure!

Just done a decent long haul flight and can recommend the following for up to date'ish viewing:

Hell or Highwater - absolute belter
Arrival - nicely worked
Hands of Stone - great for fight fans

Also watched Hacksaw Ridge which isn't a great movie but is an amazing true story and worth a watch for that alone.
