[shafiqdms1]

Why thank you

Close contender for the number 3 spot would have to be Don't Look Now.

 

[karissalla]

"Saturday Night, and Sunday Morning" is an excellent film. Superb casting and writing and oustanding performances from Albert Finney and Rachel Roberts et al. I recently bought this on DVD from Amazon

I find it extremely hard to single out one particular film but that would have to be one of my favourites, along with;

Brief Encounter

Alfie [Michael Caine, the orginal and best]

Educating Rita

Shirley Valentine

The Gathering Storm


I'm sure I will think of some more!

It has to be 28 days later
