Young Frankenstein.
The Producers.
LA Story.
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.
Annie Hall?
The Great Dictator
TBH, they’re both good, so is the Last Crusade – yep, those 3 great films, I’m glad that’s the only ones they made, and lets leave it at that.
Yeah they could have so easily ruined a great trilogy
People have mentioned great films. Alien(s), Robocop and Goodfellas are all right up there as films I like.
No film will be universally loved, however, going on the thread title, I feel the standout film mentioned that will get the best consensus as good film is Jaws. Toy Story would also fit the bill as well.
OT but Goodfellas was a Good Film until the Birks in Aberfeldy did a Goodfellas and Meatballs night - spaghetti and meatballs (garlic sliced according to the system), a glass of red and the film. Then it became a Brilliant Film.
Jaws is a great shout as is The Incredibles. I get Goodfellas and Casino mixed up and think they are both shite. Seen one Mafia film, seen them all.
Robocop is similar to Starship Troopers when it comes to people thinking they are supposed to be serious action films. They really aren’t and both are classics, but I wouldn’t think they’re universally loved.
Monsters Inc?
Other than Toy Story I find Tom Hanks really irritating. No idea why.
I suggested it no one said anything bad about it – what don’t you like about it? It’s to my eyes a stone cold classic
Well apart from the terrible acting, the awful script and poor direction, nothing.
Alien

Terminator 2
Blade runner -original directors cut .

Nah it's the Final Cut or nothing for me

"I'd buy that for a dollar!"
"Dead or alive, you're coming with me"

"Your move creep"
Utter classic 😀

“I’d buy that for a dollar!”
“Dead or alive, you’re coming with me”
“You have 15 seconds to comply”

All of which look like Judge Dredd rip-offs to me
Legally Blonde.
Three Billboards Outside Whereitwas, Michigan

Goodfellas is not shite.
You may not like it , but it's not shite.
Goodfellas is not shite.
You may not like it , but it’s not shite.
Entirely subjective. I think it’s shite, you may think differently, either way is fine and nobody died. 😉
Plains Trains and Automobiles
Brilliant film as long as you stop it 15mins from the end and make up your own whacky ending.
Entirely subjective. I think it’s shite,
It is though, but a little more as to why people think something is shite or not is useful, rather than I didn't enjoy it or not to my taste - neither of which make something shite.
Okay, as previously stated I find once you’ve seen one mafia film you’ve seen them all. I genuinely get Casino and Goodfellas confused. They blend in to one, overly long, predictable film with cliche characters.
With it being subjective if I think it’s shit then, to me, that is exactly what makes it a bit shite. Opinions are great 👍🏼
Entirely subjective. I think it’s shite,
Agree it's subjective. But shite? Script is top notch, editing , cinematography, performances are all fabulous. Sense of time and place...
Shite is harsh for a well crafted piece of cinema.
Raiders of the Lost Arc seems like a great shout to me . If you want to be entertained for a couple of hours I don't really see how you could not enjoy it . No doubt I'm about to find out 🙂
I will bet a pizza on Ramsey Neil is watching Raiders of the lost Arc tonight.

Inglourius Barsterds
I think the answer is no, we can’t agree on one
Who’d have believed the ONE would be Tremors? A trshy little horror, with Kev Bacon of all people 😀
How could you not like it ?
Cos it’s rubbish 😂
I’d be (somewhat) surprised at anyone not liking:
The Apartment
Top Hat
Gone With The Wind (although it may be a tad long for some)
Invasion Of The Body Snatchers
Midnight Run
I'm in a FB group called Last Exit To Nowhere Collective, spin-off from the t-shirt company.
Anyway the only film that this collection of uber-geeks agrees on is
John Carpenters, The Thing
And they are right.
Everything else is just varying degrees of fluff.
Apocalypse now
Dead Man's shoes
Raiders of the lost Arc. A film so great it's fans can't even spell the title correctly.
In Bruges. What do I win?
Young Frankenstein.
2001
