November 22, 20169 yr LOL After seeing the thread title, I said to myself, somebody will say Deep Throat and another will say Debbie Does Dallas. What a prediction! Diva for me too.
November 22, 20169 yr I rather liked 'Wise guy's with Dinero Inherit the wind,about the famous monkey trial in rural America,(in the 50s' i think) that was Spencer Tracey,Gene kelly,John Barrymore,and the first 'Darren" from Bewitched. Zulu was a wonderful movie about courage against insurmountable odds. Tombestone with Kurt Russell as W.E. 1.10 to Yuma with Russel crowe High Noon,the original. The left handed gun,Marlon Brando. The Alamo with Billy Bob Thornton. The fastest gun alive,Glen Ford All the Rocky movies./Rambo. There are so many,i could go on for ever,but these will have to do for now.
November 22, 20169 yr The Big Lebowski anyone? Godfather 1 & 2 are up there. Spartacus over Ben Hur for me. This is Spinal Tap another classic.

November 22, 20169 yr Forrest Gump hands down, but if you aren't from the US or didn't grow up in that era than you wouldn't understand a lot of it.
November 23, 20169 yr I am retired and try to catch up with all the movies I missed over the course of my life. I too used to think Ben Hur was the best movie I ever saw. This and a few other oldies were watched again recently and my thoughts were 'Gee what crap' I now think Bridge Over the River Kwai and The 'Dambusters' and maybe 'The Magnificent Seven' and 'The Great Escape fall into the best movies ever made. Seems we change with time or get fussier.
November 23, 20169 yr 'Leon',with jean Reno as Leon,Natalie Portman as 'Mathilde and Gary Oldman as the bent copper.There was a relatively, unknown actor in it,he played the part of the guy that looked after Leon's money.'Dannt Aiello' not much seen. When the film went to the USA,to be able to make it easier for them to relate to, it they added the words 'the professional' So over there it was 'Leon the professional'

Natalie Portman who is a prepubescent fantasist when asked about her relation to Leon: 'he is my LOVER!'...she brought that one off well...leading to an award for the Black Swan later when she growed up...that one with the sublimely sexy Mila Kunis... Luc Bresson has some good films...the recent Lucy with Scarlett Johansson is worth watching...(anything with Scarlett is worth watching, preferably with 'painted on' action clothing, ooohhh them hips...)
