<p>My Ds and I just watched A Way We Were again…wow</p>
<p>So much there…</p>
<p>it had romance, pollitics which are so relelvent today, college, great clothes, etc</p>
<p>I could watch it again</p>
<p>What other movies have it all? And it was sexy too</p>
<p>The English Patient</p>
<p>Dh and I didn’t like The English Patient. It’s been a long time, so I can’t remember exactly why.</p>
<p>The movies I see again and again tend to be things like The Sound of Music, The Black Stallion, It’s a Wonderful Life. You know, inspirational and G-rated. Not that those are the only ones I like, just that they are the ones I can watch several times and still enjoy them. (I have a special fondness for horse movies–just watched the two Snowy River movies on TV this week…)</p>
<p>For Dh, it would be Casablanca, Easy Rider, and most of the Star Trek movies.</p>
<p>The Graduate, A Clockwork Orange, One flew over the coo coo’s nest.</p>
<p>I really like Hitchcock and John Sayles-
The Lady Vanishes might be my favorite Hitchcock
African Queen
Limbo
Princess Bride
Some like it Hot
To Kill a Mockingbird
Oh how could I forget
THe Heart is a lonely Hunter</p>
<p>And I liked English Patient- but i am a big fan of “Lust in the Dust”
but I don’t know how well it will hold up over time</p>
<p>I watch Dances with Wolves about once every other year. I would watch A River Runs Through It again.</p>
<p>I didn’t see these when they were released, & hadn’t even heard of them. I think they’re both great, & have watched Life as a House with my kids. Great message for them.</p>
<p>A Walk on the Moon
Life as a House</p>
<p>Casablanca - love and a fabulous cast.
The Wizard of Oz - fantasy for kids, comedy for adults (very funny lyrics).
Sunset Boulevard - drama. How good was the young William Holden?
The Philadelphia Story - comedy and another fabulous cast.</p>
<p>Out of Africa
Enchanted April
Romeo and Juliet (Zeffirelli)
Roman Holiday
Stealing Beauty</p>
<p>“A Face in the Crowd”</p>
<p>Andy Griffith … Larry ‘Lonesome’ Rhodes
Patricia Neal … Marcia Jeffries
Anthony Franciosa … Joey DePalma
Walter Matthau … Mel Miller
Lee Remick … Betty Lou Fleckum </p>
<p>“Cool Hand Luke”
“To Kill a Mockingbird”
“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”
“Long Hot Summer”</p>
<p>bandit_TX,</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, do you like any movies that aren’t set in the South?</p>
<p>Oh yea, but I guess my roots do show somewhat. I really didn’t even notice that. I tried not to list anything that was listed above, except of course mockingbird. Add, “The Big Easy”, “The Buddy Holly Story”, “Great Balls of Fire”.</p>
<p>I’d vote for almost anything [Morgan</a> Freeman](<a href=“http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000151/]Morgan”>Morgan Freeman - IMDb) did in the 80s and 90s. Same goes for [Harrison</a> Ford](<a href=“http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000148/]Harrison”>http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000148/). They don’t pick many duds (some, but not many). </p>
<p>Oh, and I’ll always have a weaness for [Cary</a> Grant](<a href=“http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000026/]Cary”>Cary Grant - IMDb) and [Audrey</a> Hepburn](<a href=“http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000030/]Audrey”>Audrey Hepburn - IMDb). Every once in a while, a good marathon of their movies is in order. </p>
<p>(those links all go to IMBD, where you can see comlete filmographies)</p>
<p>Random musings, not intended to be definitive or exhaustive:</p>
<p>Relatively recent with potential-“Meet Joe Black”; “As Good As It Gets”: “A River Runs Through It”; “6 Degrees of Separation”; “Pulp Fiction”; “Diner”</p>
<p>Almost There Already- “Peggy Sue Got Married”; “The Big Chill”</p>
<p>Not yet specifically mentioned but definites-“Breakfast at Tiffany’s”; “To Sir With Love”</p>
<p>Re: Cary Grant.</p>
<p>Bringing Up Baby and Arsenic and Old Lace. CHARGE!!!</p>
<p>Cary Grant is just fantastic! I watch North by Northwest whenever I get a chance.</p>
<p>I can’t help but love ET, Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark. I also find myself emotionally involved every time I ever watch Rocky and On the Waterfront.</p>
<p>I guess I’ll add anything directed/produced by Steve Spielberg, since a few have been mentioned.</p>
<p>He was on my mind since our beautiful, old movie house here was playing Close Encounters last night.</p>
<p>I second (or is that third? fourth?) “To Kill a Mockingbird”. </p>
<p>And some of you might think my favorites are a little eclectic, but my other nominations for timeless are “Apollo 13” and “Grand Illusion”. I’ve seen each of them a gillion times, and what they have to say about human nature never fades for me.</p>
<p>King Kong may be my favorite. A Charlie Brown Christmas is another favorite as well as The Great Escape.</p>
