Where Eagles Dare for me please.
Superb action and music. More twists than Chubby Checker.
And................ Ingrid Pitt (boyhood fantasy girl)

Special mentions for:
The War Of The Worlds (Original Gene Barry version)
Wayne's World
What A Carve Up! - Brilliant black and white comedy horror with Kenneth Connor and Sid James
The Wanderers
However, my choice is an easy one...
Way Out West - Pure, 100% super-concentrated Laurel & Hardy.

More Ws than I realised...
Wall Street
When We Were Kings
Witness for the Prosecution (1957)
Wargames
Weird Science (obviously)
Wayne's World
My vote goes to Withnail and I. Very funny, some great lines ("They're selling hippie wigs in Woolworths, man") and a tale of how you can try and run, but can never hide from growing up and joining the adult world of responsibilities.
Although... "There's always time for a drink."

Mentions for The Wrong Box and Wish You Were Here but one of the easier decisions for me this week.
Woodstock is a chronicle of one of the most important events in music of the last 50 years. I saw it in the West End straight after the (successful) interview for my first permanent job after university so good memories all round.

Great shout for The World's End. Although it's the weakest of the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy it's still a good movie.

When Harry met Sally, War of the Worlds both decent but my vote goes with Archies choice Woodstock...

'waking life' is gorgeously pretty, if a bit dull. i enjoyed the political satire 'wag the dog' at the time. i cried at buxton spa cinema when hazel died in 'watership down' - my first taste of animation that wasn't really for kids.
winner though is the very nasty 'wolf creek'. don't accept help from cheery strangers in the australian outback... there is some suspension of disbelief required (including why the antagonist doesn't die from any of his injuries), but for a ninety minute film in which very little happens during the first half, it's pretty ferocious. although nasty, it was different to the 'torture porn' of 'hostel' or the elaborate set-ups of the 'saw' films; and miles better as a result. i recorded it and watched it one sunday afternoon. as you do when watching something like this, i predicted the order of events. wrong! Wrong! WRONG! horrible but good.

Hinted obscurely at it last week through the New Order lyrics - and not changing my mind, just because exile was sharp enough to spot this!
All the thrills and Hayley Mills... Whistle Down The Wind is my choice.

you have the courage of your convictions sunshine. i've got it somewhere i think on vhs. never watched it, but it was named in two eighties british songs, and that speaks up for it somewhat...

Don't let that squeaky-clean Pop Boy, Nick Heyward, put you off it! Actually, though, Take That Situation from his post-Haircuts solo career still passes muster when I'm in an 'I Love the '80s' mood...  |

Lots of films on one vote, but, with just a few hours to go, Woodstock and Willy Wonka are joint leaders with two votes each.
There's still time for one of the other films to draw level, or for one of these two to take it.
If not, we'll have a tie-break next week.
