I, am not a TV fan, in fact I very rarely watch it, preferring to spend my time playing/listening to music or being online.
However, I do sometimes like to watch a good film.
My favourites are Mississippi Burning (Gene Hackman version), The Thing, The Elephant Man, The Shawshank Redemption and Schindler's List.
I would love to hear about other peoples favourite films.

I just caught a little of 'Fastest Guitar Alive' with Roy Orbison, made in 1967.
Roy plays a Rebel with a guitar/rifle, who steals some gold with a partner to finance the Confederate army, only to find out the South has surrendered.
Some interesting singing by Roy, who could not sing a song poorly, but otherwise, the movie was a waste of time and film.

Some great films suggested and sparkys suggestion of "Little Big Man" reminded me of The Rain Man another good one.
A film dealing with a similar subject is "I Am Sam" Sean Penn.
Another one I am reminded of is a John Travolta film called Michael. I love the scene where he walks downstairs smoking a fag and scratching his ***e.
