'The Thomas Crown Affair' starring Steve McQueen & Faye Dunaway. With intrigue, a bank robbery and that sultry, sexy chess scene between Steve and Faye, it turned out to be a classic.



'The Sting'



and



'Paint Your Wagon' - for a great laugh

Films that changed my perception...



Midnight Express... never thought I would sympathise with a drug smuggler.. although I don't identify with his desire to smuggle drugs... you still want him to make good his escape.



Avatar - for opening my eyes and making me see another whole world with a lovely bit of US imperialism thrown in for good measure.

Most James Bond movies



Jurassic Park (1) simply because I watched the film first and then read the book. I had a dream of the film and my mind put in all the bits that were missed in the film. Brilliant dream.

Shawshank Redemption

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Midnight Cowboy

Schindler's List (book, Schinder's Ark is also brilliant)

Leaving Las Vegas (if you're feeling suicidal)

An Affair to Remember

Sophie's Choice (again, a great book)

Midnight Express

See, you can go on and on, because someone makes a choice and it reminds you of what a great film 'this' was or 'that' was.

All good fun and I think it's interesting to see others' points of view on music, film, etc.
