In no particular order..

Gladiator
Trading Places
Brewsters Millions
Hot Shots
In Time ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Time )
Liar Liar
The Truman Show
The Green Mile
Meant To Be
RoboCop / RoboCop 2 (not the remakes!)
Inside Man

In Time?

I don't normally slag off other people's film choices as it's so subjective. But In Time?!

I remember watching it. I do. Because it's possibly the worst film I've ever seen. The concept was great, everything else about it was truly terrible. Plot, acting, storyline (hey, great concept let's not have a clue what to do with it). So so excruciatingly bad which is why I remember it so well.

And I usually like Timberlake as well.

Inglourious Basterds.
Pulp fiction
Jaws
Godfather
Plane, trains and automobiles
True romance
Avatar (beautiful in 3D)
Back to the future
Zulu
Deliverance
E. T.
Kevin and Perry Go Large.

Edit: Probably should have added City Slickers in there somewhere.

Edit 2: should definitely have put 'Nightcrawler'in there high up the list. This isn't easy!

In time is ok not a bad film at all but for a brit film the present finding your feet is a very decent film, far better for me

It's way too difficult to pick a top 12 so I just thought of 12 films that I could happily watch over and over again. There's loads more but these will do.
