tutsiwarrior Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 toss up between The seven samurai and The treasure of the sierra madre...both films made during a time when the story, the acting and the directing were all that mattered...and they retain their magnificence today...

Daffy D Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) As "giddyup" sais it's already been done recently. But sometimes it doesn't hurt to start afresh as long pages of poste tend to get boring. Just my opinion. I think favorite movies depend on how old you were and where you were in your life. Over the years I have had several favorites. One of my first favorites was Ben Hur and also Gone With the Wind, I also liked The Overlanders (Australian Cattle drive) Ice Cold in Alex and Treasure of the Sierra Madre amongst others. Many of these old movies are being remastered and are becoming available on the internet now some with subtitles which is good for my older ears. Ps. Recently one of my favorite films has been "Eye in the Sky" starring Helen Mirren -http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2057392/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Worth a watch.

rott Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 The Young Savages, early 60's to the UK. A grittier sort of West Side Story, that was another great one. I enjoy a sad ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docno Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Wings of Desire, the original German version, not the saccharine US remake with Nicolas Cage. Runner's up: Rear Window ; Paris, Texas; Apocalypse Now. Also greatly enjoyed Fight Club, The Usual Suspects, Memento, and Cloud Atlas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duanebigsby Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 My favourite is one not many people have seen. Diva, a French film from 1980. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stgrhe Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The first Goodfather followed by Cascablanca. I am a WWII film collector and have over 1,900 titles in my collection; in that category I rate Das Boot (the short theatrical version) as number one. One observation I have made regarding the IMDb ratings is that US produced films in general get too a high rating whereas non-English films are rated too law.
