The new movie "Blood Diamond", looks good.

hey..that wasn't the question..sorry.

 

[Rick Inman]

Citizen Kane (I can re-watch scenes over and over. Groundbreaking cinematography).

Schindler's List (This watch!... I could have sold this watch! Can anyone see the real families at the end and not be moved?).

Streetcar Named Desire (Brando's acting is so natural that everyone else looks like a hack).

True Grit (Gorgeous scenery. Great characters. Nothing like John Wayne's final ride against Robert Duvall and gang).

Singin' in the Rain (Best musical ever. Runner up, My Fair Lady).


Honorable Mention: Maltese Falcon & A River Runs Through it (two flicks I never get tired of watching. The stuff that dreams are made of...).

 

[ScubaTexan]

Romantic Comedy: The Apartment (Lemmon and MacLaine at their best)

Drama: Exodus (one of the greatest soundtracks in movie history, as well)

Musical: The Sound Of Music (once you've visited Salzburg, Austria, you'll never watch this movie the same way again)

Western: (tie) The Magnificent Seven....The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

I don't know why I have a hard time saying it sometimes, but surprisingly, I find Dicaprio to be a very good actor...case in point for me is The Aviator, somewhat of a boring/slow movie, but extremely well acted by Dicaprio.

Friday Night Lights should be on the list, especially the half-time talk during the final game.

I agree with Andy on Kill Bill 1 and 2. The story is pure insanity (e.g. stop the knife fight and offer coffee when the little girl enters the house, the final scene). The cinomatoraphy is beyond brilliant.

No matter how many times I see Princess Bride, Monte Python and the Holly Grail and My Cousin Vinny, I never get tired of them.

I searched high and low for the DVD of A Bridge Too Far and never get tired of it.

Of course Forest Gump and Field of Dreams are alwyas on the list.

The Right Stuff - I get choked up when Yeager first exceeds sound and the watchers on the ground say "there goes another one."

I really like some of the oldies like Citizen Kane and The Maltese Falcon. And for comedy I didn't notice anyone mentioning the Marx Brothers. They made some great films.

But for more modern films I have to go with Godather 1&2. And for sheer hiliarity how about Goooooood Morning Vietnam. Robin Williams was great.
