I still defend Casablanca as an all time favorite. But I'll also throw in Godfather 1&2 plus Wizard of Oz for still scaring the crap out of kids. Exorcist for scaring adults and Fatal Attraction for scaring the pants on married men. Most perfect movie was Ghost as it was a comedy, drama, suspense, mystery, a love story and horror movie all in one.
@ugotme...Well not to be redundant but "you got me" (sorry couldn't resist) to thinking about your "Ghost" comment. I wonder if there are any others? Had one old classic pop into my head after reading your comment. I will have to research, as I have never seen the film in its entirety, but old film with Cary Grant(?) and the title has three words and I believe two are "Lace" and "Arsenic" I cannot remember the exact movie title or plot. I think it was a comedy, drama and horror (there are two old women who murder men, I think) but not sure about love...again these are ramblings off the top of my head and not 100% sure but this will be fun to research. Will let you know what I find!
Nikki you got me thinking of all the great horror films now.
The Raven - Vincent Price
The Creeping Flesh - Peter Cushing
The Original Wicker Man - Christopher Lee and Edward Woodward ( the new version sucks!)
The Pit & Pendulam - Vincent Price
The Hand - Michael Cain ( as previously mentioned)
The Island - Michael Cain
The Creature From the Black Lagoon
The Mummy - Boris Karloff
The Blob - Steve McQueen
The Thing (original version) James Arness
I always though Forest Gump was incredibly overrated but that is me. I would say the same thing about the Graduate.
Here are a few in no particular order:
From Here to Eternity
Rebel Without a cause
Bonnie & Clyde
The Deer Hunter
Raging Bull
Taxi Driver
Airplane
Halloween
The Exorcist
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
The Outsiders
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Network
Easy Rider
When Harry met Sally (Yes I said it. Great dialogue and ahead of it time for a romantic comedy.)
Do the Right Thing
Malcolm X
Scarface
Amadeus
Das Boot
The Shawshank Redemption
Audition (Japanese Horror film)
Some REALLY good ones and some of my favs.:
Sayonara... marlon Brando
The Princess Bride- Carry Elwess/ and a dozen others
Rio Bravo...
Anything with Jimmy Stewart...
And "TOMBSTONE"--- obviously it's My fav all time.
Im surprised that I like the classics so much.... I'm only 40
