My favorite Humphrey Bogart movie is The Petrified Forest. Can’t say why, except a gas station in the desert seemed such an unlikely place for him to be

King Solomon’s Mines was my favorite movie for many years since seeing it when I wa about 8. My mother used to take me to all those movies that SHE wanted to see, such as Leave Her to Heaven (a tragedy wildly inappropriate for children) and Duel in the Sun (ditto). Totally unforgettable for a child

Mister Roberts starring Henry Fonda, James Cagney, William Powell and Jack Lemmon as the loveable Ensign Palmer.

A comedy that brings some to those silent sobs.

How about ... Anthony Perkins in Pyscho? Rebel without a Cause. On the Waterfront. Gone with the Wind .... Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn! 12 Angry Men.

We should start a lending library.

Another actor Robert Francis who played the young Ensign "Willie" and had a pretty big part, you could tell he was on his way to becoming a star, unfortunately died a year later in a small plane crash.

Something I learned in the 70's about Van Johnson, who was always a favorite of mine. He came to St. Petersburg in a dinner theater show and I knew one of waitresses at the Showboat, and that's when I learned he was gay. He had his boyfriend along with him, although there's nothing wrong with that.

I gave the movie 10 out of 10 and probably have seen it at least 10 times.

The Villages Florida
That was an excellent movie and I like almost anything with Humphrey Bogart.

Mad Max: Fury Road as No #1? Have a hard time with that choice.

Forgot to see the movie Her. My older brother and sister-in-law were raving about it back when it came out in 2013. It is #19.

@ John W

I remember going to a double feature at our local drive-in in 1958, with those crappy windows hang on speakers. Big fun. Packed a carload in the station wagon.

The Blob
The Blob - Wikipedia
Steve McQueen
Music by- Burt Bacharach

The Vikings
The Vikings (1958 film - Wikipedia)
narrated by Orson Wells
Kirk Douglas

Also for classic Sci-Fi films give Robinson Crusoe on Mars a rewatch. Just as good as The Martian, starring an early Batman.
