Oh my gosh, yes, how could I have forgotten to mention Blazing Saddles in my list? Not only one of the funniest, but ironically, probably the strongest statement against racism on film that I know of.

Two more gems: Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt and the post WWII flick The Best Days of Our Lives.

Oops, actually its The Best Years of Our Lives--and I don't even watch soap operas!

E, Paint Your Wagon and One Flew Over The Cookoos Nest are quite frankly also on my all time favorite movies list that I could wacth over and over.Even given the fact that Paint Your Wagon is one of the silliest farkin movies I've ever seen. Great choices!!!

Thanks all of you for reminding me of some great movies I left off my list that I need to see again soon.

RknRmnd, I agree with Thomas Crowne Affair, it's a repeater, but the McQueen one. I liked the new one, too, but it doesn't repeat well for me.

Three Days of the Condor, yes! Redford at his best. I have seen that one a dozen times, but not lately. Needed a reminder.

eleltea ... not only was "The Lion in Winter" the first film for Anthony Hopkins, it was also the first appearance for Timothy Dalton, Nigel Terry and John Castle. Katherine Hepburn won an Academy Award as best actress and IMHO, O'Toole and the director also deserved to win and the movie should have been best picture.

Verbal jousting between the various characters in is at times absolutely scathing and is something that needs to be seen by the actors of today who are seemingly able to resort only to the use of vulgarity and profanity in order to convey anger and outrage ...

Steve, you are so right. The English language soars and sings in that film. I urge everyone to see it. It's as classic as Shakespeare but you don't have to be a scholar to love it.

Here's another one I can watch over and over and I doubt any/many of you have seen it.Maybe Echick has?

On any Sunday,about the early days of offroad motorcycling...Great flick,rent it!

I hate when that happens!

Jim, yeah that IS a good one...

I totally forgot to add Papillon(sp?) to my list...I never miss it when it's on.

RknRmnd, Far and Away should have been on my list as well. Great movie.

Thanks for the help guys. I seriously doubt if our video store has a lot of these. But I think i'll print out this list and check the cable stations. TCM (Turner Clasic Movies I think) probably will have a lot of these on sooner or later.

I'd be remis if I didn't add two of my wife's favorite movies:

The parent trap (the original with Hale Mills)
The Farmer's Daughter (older b/w film)

I forgot my personal all-time favorite movie!

The Razor's Edge with Bill Murray. The laughs are few and far in-between, but it did win Best Cinematography award for a reason.

I saw the original, and this one really captured it better!

I saw the original Ocean's 11 too, and I like the remake 100x better!

Save an aisle seat for me!

Funny on all the lists, I do not remember seeing "Sunset Boulevard" or "Stalag 17" both great William Holden roles! I had left them off of mine, but that was an oversite!

Vibe, speaking of Bill Murray, my favorite Murray flicks would be : "Groundhog Day" and "What About Bob" both are hilarious!

C

STRIPES and Ghostbusters #1....I'll bet my kid has Ghostbusters,I'm gonna go rent Stripes tonight on the way home."thats a fact Jack".

Don't forget Mr. Destiny... shows the soft side as well
RJ

My turn to jump in:

Patton
The Longest Day
Bridge Over the River Kwai
Pearl Harbor
Tora Tora Tora
Midway
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
" " " " Life of Brian
all James Bond Movies (except anything with Timothy Dalton)
The Green Berets
Apocolypse Now
A Bridge too Far
Guns of Navarrone
The Great Escape
The Big Red One
Magnum Force
Dirty Harry
Star Wars (all)
Star Trek (all)


I guess I have a slightly violent spin to my choices. These movies work well to keep kids out of the room and the wife shaking her head.

Umbrellas of Cherbourg and Thomas Crowne Affair both had musical scores by Michel LeGrand, who also composed the music for The Summer of '42.

Bernard Herrman wrote the score for The Day the Earth Stood Still (still one of the best sci-fi's of all times and another I can see over and over) and the score for Taxi Driver. What a stretch!

David Raksin composed Laura and the score for The Bad and the Beautiful.

Some wonderful music has been composed for the screen.

Gort...klatu vorada nictu. X

No Kidding eleltea, one of my favorite music scores was on a more recent movie Gladiator!
