Hard to believe no one mentioned 'Some Like it Hot' with a cast to die for & great story line. Just a great movie.
How about " We're No Angels" another great story line with an all star cast.
You people are boring me!!!!!!!!!

When we used to have cable TV we both loved Turner Classic Movies. I'm hoping Roku will sometime offer a channel similar to that. In another thread, you all talked about "The Usual Suspects" which I've now rented from Amazon. Now I'm going to order "Body Heat" too.

Like Redwitch, we also like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," mainly for the music. We had a friend who brought us the DVD and the written lyrics to the whole score one time when he came to visit us on our boat. Phrases from some of those songs pop into my head spontaneously years later.

I can always watch Casablanca and not tire of it.

Blazing Saddles: Gene Wilder and Cleavon Little.
Armageddon

Thanks for starting this thread!

"Being There" I have on my DVR right now so I can watch it whenever I want, I've seen it about ten times. Peter Sellers I can't say was great in the film, because he didn't have to really act like he did in Pink Panther films. Just the whole premise of the film is great and Jack Warden as President, he's a favorite of mine going back to 12 Angry Men and Heaven Can Wait. How can I forget Peter Sellers really great in Dr. Strangelove, with the incredible George C. Scott.

"Silver Streak" I can remember I saw that film twice in the theater when it was new. I don't do that often, but your right, you can laugh all the way through. The only other time I saw a film twice in the theater was "Raising Arizona".

"Blazing Saddles" is good, but for older comedies I love Airplane, Animal House and Caddyshack. I've probably seen each one 20 times. Raising Arizona I mentioned above and somehow forgot on my list, but that film I've also seen at least 20 times plus in the theater twice and it introduced us to John Goodman. Coen Bros films can make you do that, so I've got to include The Big Lebowsky, Fargo and O'Brother. Speaking of John Goodman, I've got to throw in "Sea of Love", with Al Pacino and John Goodman and Ellen Barkin, what a great film and saw it with my wife on our first date.

Any Bette Davis film. Especially from the 30's, 40's and even the 50's. She stole every scene.

My very favorite movie is "Love Actually". It's much newer than most listed here, and it is (sort of) a Christmas movie, but I LOVE it. The insights and overlap of the lives of the characters and the resolutions, not always happy. I love to watch it, each time feels like the first.

That's a really good movie.

There are many good lists out there.

I audited two courses at the University of Nevada, Reno in Film Criticism. The courses were taught at a movie theater in the MGM Grand in Reno, Nevada. Professor Howard Rosenberg taught these. Howard Rosenberg I love his 224 Mail Box.

I audited his classes in Westerns and Sci/Fi Horror and chatted a bit with his Teaching Assistant Kirk G., who had been in my Class of 1977 at Earl Wooster High School up to the point that I took correspondence courses at Reno High School and skipped my Senior Year.

All of the movies he discussed were worth watching quite often. I will try to recall many of these.



There is another Howard Rosenberg who was a "TV Guide" critic so the name may seem familiar but that man lives in Los Angeles and not Reno, Nevada. Former L.A. Times TV Critic Howard Rosenberg Enjoying the Life of Academia - NewspaperAlum

There were a number of John Wayne movies shown by Howard Rosenberg in my Film Criticism course.



Red River was one of these. Red River (1948) - Rotten Tomatoes

Also Stagecoach and The Searchers.

Captain Ron (1992) - Rotten Tomatoes

Forgot all about Captain Ron .

Love Fargo and the Series based on it. Check out the butcher store in the 2nd Season of Fargo the Series.

Someone out there likes me, I think. Fargo: Season 2 - Rotten Tomatoes

Lonely Are the Brave.
 
Kirk Douglas - Rotten Tomatoes

Another movie Howard Rosenberg singled out for his Film Criticism Class at the MGM Grand in Reno, Nevada. We would view the movie after he gave a short introduction and then he would talk about themes in the film we just saw as well as those that went from movie-to-movie.

It was very interesting.

I like a number of the movies of Kirk Douglas.

I've given my choices but would like to add a couple chick flicks that I really enjoy. "You Got Mail" and "When Harry Met Sally"

" 3:10 to Yuma." The original, not the remake with a happy ending.

Same Time Next Year- with Alan Alda and Ellen Burstn

Ant-Man. It has everything a movie needs...a little sci-fi, romance, action, drama. Even my wife thinks it is a great movie.

Those are both very enjoyable.
