Sorry fella, but there are some right stinkers in that list.

Casper? as in casper the friendly ghost? a film you should see before you die?

The Fifth Element?
Catch me If you can? Someone should prise themselves off their death bed and challenge the grim reaper to any game of their choice for the chance to stay alive long enough to watch "Catch me if you can"?

I dont think so.

Suppose the problem with these kinda threads is that everyone is different

Hank, Di caprio both acting very well. Great storyline with a awesome ending.

Maybe that should be in bold on the forum hompage

Casper is a great film

It's not quite as good as Home Alone, Home Alone II ! but it's good

Fifth Element was a decent film, but a real cult classic imo, great Sci Fi.

Catch Me If You Can was a brilliant film, Hanks was on top form

Good ending to boot

Out of that entire list you only find three

Tummy · 14 Sep 2009 at 18:36

Home Alone one & two, films to see before you die

I think 16 Blocks is the only one missing from my list

The Deer Hunter is one of the worst films I've ever seen.

Still awesome films - and I recommend watching 16 Blocks - it is a great film and a very cool ending

I'm sorely tempted to point out that you put The Goonies twice, I know it's considered a classic but still...

There are a few more that I'd debate whether they are must see films but overall it is a very good list, particularly if you just did it from memory.

Combat Fighter · 14 Sep 2009 at 19:22

Star Wars 1-6 (although 1-3 are favs)
Pulp Fiction
Goodfellas
Casino
Rise of the Footsoldier
Rocky 1-6
SAW 1-6 (6 yet to come out)
Its All Gone Pete Tong
Terminator series

Goonies haha

well it is that good

Yeah, I do enjoy my film, I own close to 1000 dvds and try and watch everything that comes out

Took my ages to think of that list

made my head hurt
