Hollywood Knights

The Blues Brothers

Vanishing Point (orignal)

The Great Escape

Nevada Smith

The Magnificent Seven

Anyone ever notice that in The Day The Earth Stood Still where the machines had stopped and they were showing cars stopped and trains stopped that there is one section where you can see a boat moving in the background on the river ?

I'll give a pass on the continuity for this one. Quite possible the current was carrying it. lol!

I forgot to mention the Marx Bros. and the Three Stooges. And sorry to say guys, but I like Shemp just a little bit better than Curly. Don't get me wrong, Curly is great. But I find Shemp a bit funnier. And my all time favorite comedian was, is, and always will be, Grocho Marx. Whether in the movies or his show, "You Bet Your Life". And I have every Marx Bros. movie and all 190 Stooge shorts on DVD.

Vince mentioned Universal Horror films. They are still the best. I also like Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce's version of Sherlock Holms and Watson still. Basil Rathbone brings me to The Adventures of Robin Hood, staring Errol Flynn. I also love Claude Rains in that movie.

Talking about Universal horror leads to another great movie, Abbott and Castello Meet Frankenstein.

And bring up the name Frankenstein, and that reminds of one of my all time favorite comedies, Mel Brook's Young Frankenstein. And his other seminal piece of work, Blazing Saddles.

That's it for now. So many great movies.

Whoops, I'm a almost forgot the great Tarzan movies with Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan.

Okay, that's it for sure, for now.

Ever watch them in other languages?

I once was channel surfing and found Caddy Shack in Spanish. I was at the workbench so okay, I could watch it as background noise... my daughter walks in and asks what the heck I was doing?

We were in Aruba and watched TV from Venezuela all week.

Buenos Dias Senior Gilligan??

Shawshank Redemption - Still can't get over it being a Steven King piece

Casablanca - Bogy at his best

Men In Black - So full of one liners it is just great fun to watch

Patton - George C Scott did a masterful portrayal

Star wars(IV) - Watershed movie in the SiFi genera

Top Gun- For a pilot it is just pure fun

I prefer to watch foreign films in their original languages with English subtitles, to hear the original actors' performances. That's quite a slog with the 7-hour Russian version of "War and Peace." It can be a hoot, though, when someone rattles off a bunch of dialogue and the subtitle says something like "No." Fellini movies are different because he always used multinational casts and dubbed everything anyway.
