Re: Favorite Film?

Difficult one. I have a collection of over 2000 dvd's from across the world so finding that special one is near to impossible.

Recent films that are favs that i watch quite often are:

There Will Be Blood
No Country For Old Men
Syriana
Michael Clayton

When i am in the mood for something less taxing on the noggin':

Violent Cop
Bittersweet Life
Death Note
Oldboy

But there are so many others.

Pulp Fiction is great along with Full Metal Jacket which I haven't seen for years will dig it out again but never seen Goodfellas. Its that about the Mob or pizza?!

By the one and only Simon Mayo.....

He did receive a lot of stick from listeners though, so had to make a grovelling apology.
