Great movies. Only the one that I haven't seen. In fact, to be quite honest, I've never heard of it, but will check it out for sure, because the rest of that list is top-notch, so I have to believe it will be just as great.

Best Years of Our Lives won Best Picture in 1946. I could've added Sergeant York, another 1940's picture to that list.

Would make a great remake. Morgan Freeman and Harrison Ford are my 1st thoughts.

Haha, I got to meet him a couple of weeks ago. What a down-to-earth gentleman.

well yes, that's why I said most. It's a liist I had on another site from ages ago, wasn't going to go through removing the duplicates.

can't recall if I ever finished my 70s-present list, but at least most people here should know most of the great american films from 80 on anyways, even if they don't know the foreign ones...

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

I missed that key word: Most

Wow, quite a list. You have good tastes. I'll just comment on a few.

All About Eve, saw in a theatre about 5 years ago. A real classic.

African Queen, I always thought was overrated.

Bridge on the River Kwai, A very good movie, could say in my top 50.

Casablanca and Citizen Kane, Never cared for either.

From Here to Eternity, Very underrated. Great film.

Grand Illusion, Saw it last week in a theatre, not as good as I remember, but an important film for it's time.

Lawrence of Arabia, Only saw it once in a theatre, would love to watch again.

Mr Smith Goes to Washington, One of my favorites.

Paths of Glory, A great film

Psycho, Easily in my top 20

Sunset Boulevard, Maybe the best film I've never seen.
