So anyway... following on from the convo yesterday about 'go to films' when you stick something on you can just enjoy without having to think too much, do you have them? Mine are often

Starship Troopers
Goodfellas
Wolf of Wall Street
Mad Max Fury Road
Tremors

If I feel like an easy comedy
Anchorman
Pineapple Express
Groundhog Day

Do ppl have these, films they'll either stick on or if they see it on telly and want something to chill to will put it on?

Not really, Dazed and Confused is another of mine.

Used to watch The Breakfast Club a lot but too old now don't want to ruin it.

Coincidence that, I was going to include Breakfast Club but I stopped a while ago. There's a few films like that.

Never seen Dazed and Confused.
 
The bloke playing Elvis was superb, Tom Hanks was Tom Hanks which is always good but rarely great.

He really was. My kids told me he used to be on kids shows when he was younger? They also told me he couldn't shake off the Elvis voice/accent after shooting the film, he'd got so into it.

I disagree about Hanks. I genuinely forgot it was him. I didn't know anything about Parker and he was such a piece of **** in the film that I had to remind myself it was Hanks. So I thought he was excellent.

Zoolander
Gladiator
Shawshank Redemption
Matrix
Bourne
Mission Impossible 1
Team America
Anchorman

There's some there I need on my list - Dodgeball, Matrix, MI, Bourne <ok>

Gladiator and Shawshank are excellent and watched both enough, but I have to be in the right frame to watch them. I can't just stick them on, especially Shawshank.
 
What you got against Linklater? Filmed with the same actors over 12 years, takes the coming of age drama to another level.

Nowt, it's worse than that I've never heard of either :bandit:

Just had a quick read I like the sound of the first, not sure about the second.
