    "Fred C. Dobbs doesn't say anything he doesn't mean!" (My favorite Bogie film too!)

    Between Ben-Hur, any Bette Davis film and The Gothic mystery The Innocents.

    Actually, I love movies that totally entertain me to the max. Musicals are of course right up there and really funny comedies are something I don't mind watching. One of the most hilarious movies I can recall that had me doubled over with laughter was, The Glass Bottom Boat with Doris Day, Arthur Godfrey, Dom Deluise and Dick Martin. I don't recall the name of her leading man, but it was absolutely a comedic romp.

    My one which I have watched countless times is The System known in America for some reason as the Girl Getters.


    With the great Oliver Reed before 3 yobs put a glass in his face in a pub toilet.

    Also loved the film Song Of the South could never understand why it was racist and banned in America

    It changes with whatever I've seen most recently and what mood I'm in. Last night I watched the tail end of Moonstruck again. It's my favorite today. I really liked the acting in that movie, particularly Cher.

    I really, really love time travel movies ! I like Somewhere in Time, the Time Traveler’s Wife, and one that is similar to time travel called, Just like Heaven.
    However, of all the movies, the one that I can watch over and over, and always love it each time, is one called Frequency, with Dennis Quaid.
    It is about a father and son, who are able to communicate with an old shortwave set, 30 years in time apart. Each time they do something, the family timeline changes, so they have to do something else to fix what was changed.
    Here is the trailer.

    For a gripping drama that unfolds in a single room, you can't beat "Twelve Angry Men"!

    A great cast too!

    Henry Fonda
    Lee J. Cobb
    E. G. Marshall
    Jack Warden

    And 8 others

    David Lean was a masterful producer and among his best were Doctor Zhivago and Lawrence of Arabia and others.
    I struggle to name my favorite movie - such as Gone With the Wind, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Schindler's List and others.

    I've thought long and hard, and come to this conclusion
    There is no greater epic film than Lean's brilliant masterpiece of Doctor Zhivago. The casting, scenery, human emotion, class struggles, passion of love amidst war and upheaval cannot be beaten. Truly an incomparable piece of the screen's finest.

    As others have said, there's so many of them.

    "To Kill A Mockingbird" is near the top. I finally got around to reading the book some years ago.
    Same goes for "Captains Courageous," on both counts.

    "Gentleman's Agreement" is another great Gregory Peck film where he plays a principled role.

    "For Whom The Bell Tolls," but that's only because Ingrid Bergman's in it.
