[bluedog225]

The dream life of angels.

[sp_clark]

Once Upon A Time in the West

Bell, Book & Candle

[Wine47]

No it was a 1968 S code - 390 Mustang.

[Ted Hoppe]

no country for old men

Best Movie of the last 20 years.

The Revenant is a 2015 masterpiece. Casino Royale is the best Bond movie in the last 50 years. Master and Commander best sailing movie. L.A. Confidential for 1997 maybe better than Chinatown. Usual Suspects a good runner up.

The Searchers by John Ford with John Wayne is still an epic western.

Babe - the film is genius.

Anything that Buster Keaton did is brilliant. The General is a film that is timeless. It is daring, gorgeously filmed and solid in every way.

Schindler's List

No it was a 1968 S code - 390 Mustang.

How about the Dodge?

Sometimes an old movie is worth watching because it just couldn't or wouldn't be done again without CGI, Like lawrence of Arabia, or perhaps some of the war movies, Catch 22 , even Apocalypse Now. Or Battle of Britain for the aircraft.
In that vein, Zulu.
My Cocaine being posh and the Zulu chants..... Its free on Youtube. I watched it last week and ( shock horror.).. its not revisionist history

may i suggest

[goodbasil]

I liked King Rat. (1965)

[Rigadog]

Bullit - Steve McQueen - great car chase scenes in San Francisco. The story of the car after the movie is pretty interesting - sold at Mecum for 3.74 million, unrestored.

Just heard they are re-making it

[Rigadog]

Currently watching “Planet of the Apes “


love it!

Planet of the Apes has the best ending of any movie ever made in my opinion.

[Rigadog]

Breaker Morant

[WI-Tom]

[ron ll]

I’ll nominate The Graduate and American Graffiti.

[Bobcat]

Last Picture Show

[Jim Mahan]

Anything with Alec Guiness, but Bridge On the River Kwai.

[CWSmith]

Shoes of the Fisherman because we are headed there now.

[John Meachen]

Oh if we are doing the car chase then come on French Connection, and well the Blues Brothers for that matter.

Interesting story on the car chase in the French Connection under the El

"The French Connection" car chase was as dangerous as it looked

I think the car chase in Ronin is the equal of Bullit or the French Connection.

[Jim Mahan]

What was that flick from back maybe in the sixties, where there's a long, humorous chase scene with a pair of Mini Coopers tearing around Rome, maybe, up and down some famous stone steps? Ring a bell?

[P.I. Stazzer-Newt]

The only film to star both Benny Hill and Noel Coward.

The Italian Job.








Dark Star

[Dan McCosh]

One of the best old movies I've seen recently was "The hustler". One of the worst, "Cat on a hot tin roof". Both starring Paul Newman.

[Wine47]

Thunder Road - Robert Mitchum. Ford vs Ferrari, maybe too recent! Steve McQueen in Le Mans and Papillon. Cool Hand Luke - Paul Newman.

[Jim Mahan]

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was, IIRC, a stage play adapted for the screen, and sometimes that fails. If you have time after watching The Hustler, catch the sequel with Newman as a much older, retired Fast Eddie Felson, and Tom Cruise as a reluctant protege. Jackie Gleason was stellar in the original, too.

[leikec]

“The Train” with Burt Lancaster holds up well. “Mrs Miniver” also will always be worth watching.

From my pandemic-related film noir binge:

The Hitch-Hiker (1953) still creepy after 70 years. Directed by Ida Lupino. The bad guy was played by William Talman, who later became D.A. Hamilton Burger in the Perry Mason TV series. https://archive.org/details/Hitch_Hiker

The Third Man (1949) Orson Welles and Joseph Cotten in a post-WW II thriller. https://archive.org/details/the-third-man-1949

Psycho (1960) One of Hitchcock's greatest. https://archive.org/details/1960-psy...hitchcock-vose
