OKey doke.

My favourite film is The Color Purple(closely followed by Copacabana)
Its not a film I could watch over and over but it makes me cry every time I see it.Set in the early 1900's a black girl has 2 children, fathered by her own father.She is then married off to someone she doesnt love.The film is about her life, from her childrens birth to old age, how she is suppressed and how she loves her children.It has sadness, laughter,music, morals, violence,injustices,it tugs at the heartstrings,race issues etc.It raises questions and makes you think.Would we put up with things like that nowadays?

I love a good weepy.

Copacabana.Probably seen as cheesy but again makes me cry buckets.
Set in the 30's.FABULOUS music(wish I could get the soundtrack)Barry is looking gorgeous, Annette O Toole perfect as the part of Lola.2 young people meet at a singing competion and both try to make it big in the top clubs.
Great costumes, tonnes of love, loss, drama, songs, did I mention songs,love, sequins, oh and did I mention, it makes me cry.Oh and songs, fantastic songs.
Can it all be love and romance at the Copa, Copacapana, the hottest spot north of Havana, here at the Copa, Copacabanaaaaa (altogether now)music and passion were always in fashion at the Copaaaaaaaa, dont fall in looove ...........

Ah yes The Colour purple is a great film. I forgot to mention mine lol so here it is.

Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade(1989)
The film stars, of course, Harrison Ford as Indy Jones, the archaeologist/adventurer who's on yet another quest, this time to find his father, who'd been searching for the Holy Grail. Said Dad is played by none other than Sean Connery, whose highly charismatic performance is quick to place this film, acting-wise, above the others in the trilogy (let me put it this way, he's only half a notch below Indy in charisma and appeal if that tells you anything). The rest of the film focuses on this ongoing journey between father and son (eventually joined along by Sallah and Marcus Brody), complete with amazing action and stunt sequences, clever humor, and nasty (but fun) surprises.

The script, by Jeffrey Boam, takes a few cues from Raiders of the Lost Ark, but actually improves upon that story by paying more attention to characterization. The delightful opening scene (all three movies really open with a bang, don't they?); which details how young Indy got his scar, whip, hat, and fear of snakes; makes for a better prequel than Temple of Doom (and any of The Adventure of Young Indiana Jones, for that matter).

The story is engrossing because there's a lot of fun clues offered towards the location of the Grail and, thus, there's a lot of engaging little discoveries (love the "X marks the spot" scene). I'm quite certain, like with Raiders of the Lost Ark, the plot has a few holes, but they're fairly hard to notice, and I've seen this movie quite a few times, but maybe it's just my enjoyment of the film clouding that up. Either way, it speaks volumes in favor of Spielberg's direction and the performances.

Given that action and adventure is the series' selling point, you can expect the thrills and wondrous delight of discovery delivered in spades. The action scenes are terrific (and matched well with John Williams' rousing, memorable score), the best being an excellent ten-minute setpiece on board (and in) a Nazi tank in a sensational chase sequence across the desert. I also loved the motorcycle chase and the Zeppelin setpiece, where the heroes go about dispatching of two enemy fighters in unexpected, but quite hilarious, fashion. The climax, complete with frightening booby traps, is a suspenseful venture into the unknown, which is the pinnacle adventure movies aspire to.

The Last Crusade is far more humor-oriented than its predecessors, but part of the movie's effectiveness is that it's able to deliver belly laughs without defusing the tension during the action sequences. Some of the jokes are just brilliant, including one with Indy armed with a Luger in confrontation with a trio of Nazis on board a tank that's even funnier than the swordsman scene in Raiders (well, to me, at least).

The supporting cast is all-around superb; John Rhys-Davies is back as Sallah, wonderful as ever and displaying a bit more enthusiasm searching for the Grail than he did digging up the Ark of the Covenant. The late Denholm Elliot also returns as Marcus Brody, the most lovable goof of a museum curator. Alison Doody is interesting as Elsa, the blonde bombshell whom Indy falls for; a twist involving her character and her actions towards the climax make her not as one-dimensional as she may initially appear. Julian Glover is the best of the main Indy villains, he's far more menacing than Paul Freeman's Belloq and less over-the-top but equally enjoyable as Amrish Pruri's Mola Ram. I also enjoyed Michael Byrne's performance as the Jones hating Colonel Vogel, who relishes in torturing Indy and his father. When it comes to pure delightfully nasty villainy, Byrne is even more fun to watch than Glover.

Harrison Ford once again slides effortlessly into the role of Jones, but there's a catch. With the addition of Connery as his father, it reveals a personal side to Indy we haven't seen before. It's his rapport with Connery that strikes that spark that separates this from 99% of the genre. They craft an uncannily touching, funny, and genuine bond unlike any duo I've seen. You could call it a buddy picture, but one with genuine heart and emotion, something filmmakers Michael Bay or Jerry Bruckheimer could learn a thing or two about. The Last Crusade is pure Hollywood movie magic at its best and brightest.

Overall this is a movie i can watch over and over again, not a lifechanging emotional film but Pure entertainment. the best of the best in action movies:D.

Films that didnt quite make it into my favourite film spot(In no particular order)

The Godfather(I, II & III)
Braveheart
Gladiator
Aladdin
The Shawshank Redemption
Goodfellas

Remember guys this is a fun discussion about our favourite films so no insulting other users thanks guys & guyettes lol.

PLease may I agree with your decision to choose I.J and the last crusade.
It is indeed the best of the trilogy and it also entails the HOly Grail/KNights Templer/DAn Brown issue.

This is a difficult question to answer because it's impossible to rate a comedy with a serious film, but the films that gave me the most enjoyment were (in no particular order)

Back to the future trilogy, brilliant writers, usually time travel films don't work but this one did.

Ferris Buellers day off, minor masterpiece.

Glengarry Glenross, major masterpiece, but with Al Pacino Kevin Spacey, Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris and Alec Baldwin in one film what would you expect?

The Godfather one and two.
