considering, there are just to many themes to have a fair list, anything one writes down would cheat other themes..

scary,sci-fi,drama,historical,comedy,western,ect,ect

the list is long to say the least, i am sure that everyone has favorites, don't get me wrong, so do i, but i have about 50 favorites, all for different reasons.

if i had to put one up front of them all, for its re-watchability, it would have to be "dinosaur" my grandson watches it every time he is here, and i mean WATCHES IT... as in watch,rewind,watch,rewind,watch....

we have seen it so many times, i can lip sync it, the funny thing is, i just keep watching it with him.. might be cause its with him, i dunno, but there you are

i got a job for a day as an extra in the meaning of life, as a zulu warrior.

dunno if anyone remembers the scene from the zulu wars, where one of the monty team (cant remember which one) wakes up in his tent to find his leg has been eaten off. he claims it's not serious, and that the leg will grow back. anyway, the intro to that scene is titled as ............."the zulu wars" (just outside glasgow)"

all the actors that were to play the zulu warriors in that scene had gone on strike after two days of torrential rain. it wasnt the rain that caused the strike though. it was because Cleese demanded to know "what one of you black bastards done the rain dance." not very bright considering they all had pointy spears with them at the time.

you wouldn't believe how much a frizzy wig, a grass skirt and some black paint can alter someones appearance. i mean, guys that i had grown up with and knew really well were like strangers to me. i had one of my mates write my name on my back, as did most of us there, because it was so confusing. (a wet finger would write through the body paint)

some of the images that i have in my head from that day i dont think will ever fade. charging down the hillside (the campsies) dressed as a zulu screaming all sorts of unmentionable battle cries. standing in a quite village boozers with half the people there dressed in the old red british uniforms, tattered and torn, slings plasters and crutches, and the other half dressed as zulus, with spears in hand and their names on their backs, all quietly supping on their pints and g+t's.

i reckon it must go down as one of the strangest days i've ever had. and i got payed 30 quid into the bargain.

oh, and it all ended up on the cutting room floor.

dunno if that's cause of the strike/union thing, or if we all just sucked as zulus. i like to think it was the former.

hmmmm.....

like your last answer yak_fighter, i watched battle royale yesturday v.gd film definatly one of my new favs might just go and watch it now

Ya well like I said I felt stupider after seeing "dude you godda tatoo", but still it was funny none-the-less. As for American wedding it was slapped together, I thought it was the nice final ending to the American series. So Ill change my runner ups and replace it with all monty python movies (yes brave sir robbin), no matter what anyone says, i thought they were the best, although watching it over and over gets boring a little, but never the "ni"

Young Frankenstein is B/W. Course, it was made that way cause they wanted to, not cause they had to. I've tried watching some older stuff, I have a copy of The Great Dictator on my comp that I haven't quite gotten through. The style is just entirely different, and sometimes I have trouble getting in to them because I'm not as aware of the social situations in which they were made.
