Posts: 1405 Gender:	Let's Build a Film Library Jul 24^th, 2015 at 10:34am Simple idea- Each post adds a series or a movie that we think should go in the library. Only one movie or series per post. The Shawshank Redemption. The first real date I had with my wife was watching it in my dorm back in undergrad. I won't spoil the ending but I will say it was a very very good ending.

Masterwork of science-fiction. Way ahead of it's time. Superb visual effects. Just watch it if you haven't already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHjIqQBsPjk

Obscure british comedy, always has me laughing so hard I can't breath. The sas versus the waxworks dummies at madam tussauds, is just classic - oy yeah, there's a teensy weensy ittle bitty bit of swearing. make sure kids are out of earshot .

Might as well throw in the rest of the films as well.

Probably marc dacascos's best film. And has naked monica belucci in her prime. Well she's not exactly gone downhill, but back then she'd make a corpse sit up and drool There's fit naked men for the women as well

jean de florette and Manon des Sources

I caught jean de florette purely by accident one evening while trolling for something to watch.
Not my usual cup of coffee (don't drink tea) but just totally compelling performances by all concerned - particularly gerard depardieu.

There are no happy endings, but damn such good films.

But still has some of the best comedy ever committed to celluloid. Is there anyone here who hasn't acted out the black knight sketch, at least once ?
