- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

I agree with most of the other posts but I'd have to add "The African Queen"

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a
listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of
which have the potential to turn a life around. -Leo Buscaglia, author
(1924-1998)

I saw an absolutely fantastic film last week,which I must share with you- It is 'Black cat,White cat' by Yugoslav(?) director Emir Kusturica.
I saw it last week,at a local 'Art cinema'-now you might think that a subtitled film with dialogue in SERBO-CROAT(!
) might be a bit hard going or pseudo-intellectual,but this film is just one OUTRAGEOUS comedy! 
It's about the dodgy deals of a community of fuel smuggling gypsies in the sanction torn Yugoslavia (now Serbia) of the early 1990's.It's hard to believe that such a great comedy could come out of an area of the world that was for years a constant source of terrible war and atrocity images.
The cast of larger than life characters is unbelievable,and the Gypsy music is toe tappingly great!
It's not just me who enjoyed the film- when was the last time that you went to the cinema, and the audience cheered and applauded a film?
I enjoyed the film so much,that I managed to track it down on video the other day(it isn't available on dvd-Amazon have the video) and watched it through the other night and laughed my head off again!
I HIGHLY recommend this cinematic Gem!
Speaking of 'Cinematic gems' I saw the film 'Tadpole' the other day,which is about a 15year old intellectually precocious boy,who is in love with his 40 something step mother (well who wouldn't be-she was played by Signourey Weaver).Set in New York,shot on digital,low key-very,very wryly funny.It only clocks in at an hour 18 mins,but is a real gem of a film.

The first all time favourites coming to my mind are
- Drowning By Numbers (Peter Greenaway)
- Draughtman's Contract (Peter Greenaway again)
- The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover (Peter Greenaway again again)
- Straight Story (David Lynch)
- Blue Velvet (David Lynch again)
- Elephant Man (David Lynch again again)
- Dune (David Lynch even againer)
- Brazil (Terry Gilliam)
- Time Bandits (Terry Gilliam again)
Thinking about it - yeah, I love the movies by Peter Greenaway and David Lynch. And yes, Terry Gilliam too.
(The Monty Python movies are missing, as the TV series was so much better. "Say no more...")
