For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It’s such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There’s just that extra something in that movie

What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?

    "Simon Skinner: Lock me up.

    Nicholas Angel: I’m sorry?

    Simon Skinner: I’m a slasher, and I must be stopped.

    Nicholas Angel: You’re a what?

    Simon Skinner: A slasher… of prices! Ha ha ha, just kidding! I’m Simon Skinner, and I run the local Supermarket. Stop in and see me some time. My discounts are criminal! [runs off] Catch me later!"

    This bit always cracks me up, sets the tone and also foreshadows the ending. He seems obviously the bad guy, and then misdirections all over the place, and the ending pay off. Just love it. Timothy Dalton is a rather good actor also, I only knew him from Hot Fuzz but he’s had a long career.

      Haven’t checked on him, but I guess now I have a reason to. Thank you.

      His face in this movie has an uncanny resemblance of a mask from V for Vendetta for me. It does help his role for sure.

      He didn’t fare well as Bond because the 80’s was a very blow 'em up and shoot 'em down era. With better writing he could have been great, imho anyways
