Desert Island Dvd's for me... Alien box set, Heat with Robert DeNiro, pretty much anything with DeNiro.. 8) no real known actors but a recent movie I enjoyed was Felon and for a laugh Pineapple express.. great war movie We(or once) were soldiers with Mel..
I live in my own little world. But it's ok....they know me here!

I watched Singing In The Rain over Christmas and i love that.
South Pacific was brill too!!
Some enchanted evening
You may see a stranger,
you may see a stranger
Across a crowded room
And somehow you know,
You know even then
That somewhere you'll see her
Again and again.

Isn't that,doesn't that just make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up?
The original 39 Steps with Robert Donat's good.

Goodbye Bafana - Joseph Fiennes; true story of a special guard and his special prisoner - Nelson Mandela, over a 25 year period - saved on sky box, rewatched it, bought DVD - amazing film.

Recently watched 'Gran Torino' - Clint Eastwood. Really, really good!
Some mistakes are too much fun
