What film did ur loved, and lost one, love? My mummyâs, was Australia with Nicole kid an, and The quiet man, with john Wayne. 
My mum liked John Wayne too. My husbandâs favourite film has to be The Italian Job, the original one with Michael Caine. Also and perhaps a tad childishly, Convoy - apart from being in awe of the big trucks I think he had the hots for Ali McGraw

First off, what a lovely topic to steer away from the traumatics for a change! Itâs good to focus on them and what they loved more than the gruesome details. Thank you for this.
My Dadâs favourites were probably Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Mask, John Wayne would be in there but I canât think of his favourite, Superman original from 1978. Jungle Book. Loads more that I canât even think of either but what a lovely memory.

My Mum loved Far from the Maddening Crowd. The version with Alan Bates, Julie Christie and Terrance Stamp. The Pianist, Dr Zhivageo and Lawrence of Arabia.
She also love Robert Redford films. It was rather sweet, as last year we went to the cinema to see Robert Redford final acting film.

My mums favourite film was Serendipity.
She was always asking me to watch it.
Today, my niece is celebrating her 21st birthday and has had a tattoo of the word Serendipity on her ankle in honour of her nan.
I dont like tattoos normally but its beautiful and has made me quite emotional x

I am not a tattoo fan, but I love this one and the ones which Ian has had in memory of his beloved Jayne. Sorry, I digressed, Stanâs favourite film and mine too, is âThe Green Mileâ starring Tom Hanks. It is a very sad film, but very entertaining.
The runner up is âShawshank Redemptionâ.

Love âThe green mileâ Mary and âShawshankâ brilliant films. Colin wasnât fussy about movies he couldnât sit still long enough to watch one and if he did he spent the entire time correcting any historical facts they had got wrong That didnât happen till 1890 and that gun wasnât produced till the nineteenth century. Used to do my head in that said he would always take me to the cinema even if he fell asleep which was often and even sat through âThe greatest Showmanâ twice if thatâs not love then what is eh xx

Mum loved films all films. I canât remember her favourite which is upsetting me. But she watched so many and was a real film buff. So she probably
Didnât have one favourite. But I do know she loved Jaws and Alien. She wasnât a girlie girl. She loved action and thrillers. Nothing with too much violence and swearing though.
