3 outstanding films. Unfortunately they don't make it onto my own list but they deserve credit.

That's a magnificent film.

 

I always cry watching it.

 

My favourite line from it is "You have to get busy living or get busy dying". I first saw the movie when my life was in free fall - recently lost my business, my mum had died and I was waiting some test results back to determine whether I had Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

 

I remember sitting there and letting that line wash over me and just determined at that point that I had to "get busy living".

A couple of people have mentioned Pulp Fiction which I also think is a great film.

 

For the people who have seen it. I ask, what do you think was in that brief case?

 

someone told me it was Marsellus Wallaces soul because

 

1.the combination was 666 666 on the case.

and

2.Marsellus Wallace has a mysterious plaster on the back of his head throughout. (the first shot you see of him is a full view of the plaster).

Supposedly where it was removed.

 

sounds a bit odd but who knows

Im sure there was a post about this subject not long ago and everyone offered their opinions. Mine was similar to that of Bongmonsters.

I created a thread about it a while ago.

wow, I'm sorry to hear about that..... a sign of a good film is one that has an effect on you.... "Get busy living or get busy dying" is definately a quote to live by

It was a good few year ago now and the tests came back OK, but I still stick with the quote!

 

You're right about good films making an impact on you - it's something I've always believed. When I was a kid I remember watching lots of old films with my mum and dad - particularly the James Cagney movies.

 

When I was about 11 years old I saw the film 'Angels with Dirty Faces', and remember spending a lot of time thinking about the ending - did Rocky go to the chair a 'real' coward or did he go to the electric chair playing the part of a cowrd because his friend asked him to to put the boys who idolised him off of a life of crime?

 

I guess that that was the first film that made me think like that, and I think it had something to do with my current love of film noir and the 1930s/40s 'social realism' films.
