Dozens of my favorites have already been named so I won't repeat them. I don't think I've seen

Taxi Driver
Pulp Fiction (surprised nobody added this one yet)
A Clockwork Orange
On The Waterfront

 

[WhiteMamba]

Sometimes I just watch the end of the one with Daniel Day Lewis. Gawd I love that. I am past it now, but I have dreamed of being in a conflict like that. Suppose I am a little crazy.

The last 45 minutes of that movie is just fantastic.

My favorite scene. DDL nailed this role. And Magua was such a great villain!

My favorite soundtrack for a movie as well. LOTM

Walhburg in "The Shooter".

 

[Am I Blue Through it All?]

Young Frankenstein is one of the funniest flicks ever. That blind monk routine just kills me. A Clockwork Orange was iconic when it was released. Never had been anything like it before.

I have failed to mention a personal favorite. The Lion in Winter. The one with O'Toole and Hepburn. Man that were was some incredible acting in that one. And it was a sequel to Thomas A Becket. Another all time great. Funny those two movies never achieved the lasting fascination all of the great Bogart movies have.

 

[Nosferatu]

Key Largo : It's as good as it gets with Humphrey Bogart and Edward G Robinson maybe the two best actors of all time...

 

[SDPaddlefish]

Patton
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

That scene where Dwight and his Band have settled in and are talking and drinking it up in the living room....funny ass shit!

There are a lot of great movies listed in this thread but I own a bunch of them, so I can watch them anytime and won't necessarily stop and watch them.

That's a good call....Dig Brad Pit in that role....I'll add JFK to my (extremely long) list.

Remember the Titans

re: Troy, etc

That's a good call....Dig Brad Pit in that role....I'll add JFK to my (extremely long) list.

agree in principle, but no...I'd probably keep surfing. Too many great 'violence' scenes have been cut from movies like TROY & GLADIATOR. gawd, I hate that PC bullshit! (especially when you can go to the Sci-Fi channel right now and watch cannibal cretins -WRONG TURN- butcher living victims in full gory detail...wtf's the matter with this picture?)

Interesting to note that nobody's listed TITANIC here... (I'm in contention to be the last person in the world not to have seen that pos pretender to the classic A NIGHT TO REMEMBER - another movie I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned.)

AmIBlue noted, much earlier, that PLATOON and FULLMJACKET formed a genre to themselves - another post I agree with...but would add APOCALYPSE , HAMBURGER HILL and GOOD MORNING VIETNAM to the class.

We've got so many CDs of the great movies mentioned here that, unless the best scene of the PC TV version's playing, I'll usually surf on.

Have you seen Double Indemnity? I'm always dying to buy it, but - oh snap! Just looked it up on Amazon and it's now $8.90 instead of $25 like it usually is...maybe I should finally get it

Just to highlight the movie 'The Fighter': I dont know how many boxing fans are here, but I'd make the case the Mickey Ward vs Arturo Gatti trilogy was the best of all time. Look it up on youtube if you haven't seen it. It is the best boxing gets and will make you say fuck Floyd Mayweather Jr.

And the movie, even with it being based in Mass., reminds me of growing up white trash in Bama.
