Oh yeah! 007 (Almost All)

I wasn't to thrilled with Die Another Day though. There is another Pierce/Bond flick that I wasn't impressed with, but I'm a little too stewed to remember the name of it at the moment.

Cheers!

There are simply too many good movies to list the "greatest" ever or even all of my favorites ... here, though, are a few very good movies that come quickly to mind whose titles I didn't see above ... I'd watch any of these anytime ...

"The Lion In Winter"
"Giant"
"Slap Shot"
"The Birds"
"North By Northwest"
"A Man For All Seasons"
"The Sting"
"The Hustler"

and ... my all-time favorite movie that no one's ever seen ... except those of you who followed the recommendation I made when this subject came up once or twice before, most recently a year or maybe two ago ...

"A Big Hand For The Little Lady"
starring, Henry Fonda, Joanne Woodward, Jason Robards, Paul Ford, Charles Bickford, Burgess Meredith, Kevin McCarthy and Robert Middleton

"A Big Hand for a Little Lady" is truly a classic (but widely unknown) film. One of the greatest con game movies of all time.

Too many to name greatest and agree with Steve on that, so I need to add:

above mentioned movie
North by Northwest
The Birds
Elmer Gantry
The Third Man
Shadow of Doubt
Anatomy of a Murder
Stalag 17
Patton
The Sand Pebbles

Oh well, lots of great movies and apologies for leaving some off, but it is an impossible task.
