The Godfather I and II. Very rare for lightning to not only strike twice - but to strike truer the second time. It's never been done. The strength of the acting and writing saved Godfather II from being self-indulgent. No such luck for the 3rd. Despite top-notch actors the trail had long gone cold and others concur that the script inspired indifference.(IMHO)

2 offerings I highly recommend by Terrence Malick: Days of Heaven and, of course, The Thin Red Line. Thin Red is not a war movie - it's a work of art. Any Malick fans???

The last time I went to a theater was in 1992, when I saw "JFK".
My favorite movies are: "Cool Hand Luke" and "The Milagro Beanfield War"

A movie from the 60's called "Grand Prix" with Ives Montand and James Garner...

It cost MGM a mint....Filmed In "Cinerama" .. flopped at the Box office...

But it is my Favorite...

OMG there are SO many good ones. These are the ones I will watch any time they're on, and ask my husband, I can recite the dialogue along with the actors

Father Goose (Cary Grant playing against type)

The Goodbye Girl (Richard Dreyfuss and Marsha Mason)

Barefoot in the Park (Jane Fonda, Robert Redford)

Becket & The Lion in Winter (Peter O'Toole as Henry II in two fabulously written screenplays)

To Kill a Mockingbird (quintessential Peck)

The Thin Man (William Powell and that "lanky brunette with a wicked jaw" Myrna Loy)

Singing in the Rain

Airplane! (what can I say, I'm a fool for puns)

Also, guilty pleasure, the original Airport with Helen Hayes

Meet Me in St. Louis (love the period details)

The Women (and just about any other movie from 1939 except Wuthering Heights - see http://members.aol.com/grbmd/year1939.htm for a listing)

I'm sure there are many more but I can't pick just one and can't remember them all.

Favourite all time movie, "Dog Day Afternoon." w/Al Pacino...Jesse. :)
