Last movie you watched......

Which movies did you pick?

 

This movie is really, really well done. A great couple of hours.

 

MISSING, off the top of my head, and I have seen each one of these at least 10 times:
Mrs. Miniver
Citizen Kane
Fort Apache
The Quiet Man
Spartacus
Sunset Blvd
The Great Escape
Key Largo
Bonnie and Clyde
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
The Bridge Over the River Kwai
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Graduate
Lawrence of Arabia
Patton
The Last Emperor
Empire of the Sun
Annie Hall
From Here to Eternity
Network
The Lion in Winter
My Favorite Year
The Hustler
Casablanca
Angels with Dirty Faces
Maltese Falcon
The Caine Mutiny
Body Heat
Full Metal Jacket
Once Upon a Time in America, the uncut original director's version.

Rosemary's Baby is a cultural touchstone, but I don't think its a great movie. And I may be alone but A Street Car Named Desire is not one of my favorites at all.

 

Watching Easy Rider (on YouTube, technology is great) and it's beautifully shot.

Peter Fonda defined heartthrob.

 

Elmer Gantry
Some Like It Hot
The Odd Couple
The Ox Bow Incident
7 Days in May
The Shop Around The Corner
Ninotchka
Heaven Can Wait/ Here Comes Mr Jordan
Rear Window
North By Northwest
All About Eve
Kelly's Heroes

Classic Directors:
Ernst Lubitsch
Howard Hawks
John Ford
Elia Kazan
Hitchcock
William Wyler
George Kukor
Billy Wilder
John Huston

 

I was looking for a classic film on Netflix last night from the ones available for streaming. Selection is pretty thin.

 

That was certainly a strange ending to Easy Rider.

Just before it ends, when they're camping for the night, Hopper is all too pleased and said they made it big and can retire in Florida but Fonda says "We blew it."

Didn't understand that line. Any help?

I disagree with some of the order and some inclusions.

I've seen all but 7. The only post-war movie I've missed is Schindler's List. I can't watch another holocaust movie.

 

Crime Wave - 1954 police procedural that's drenched in noir style. Just about the entirety is shot on location in Los Angeles (and man is it wonderfully gritty). A young Charles Bronson is a great scum bag greaser crook. Lots of great 1950s cop talk. Loved that it clocked in at about 70 minutes.

 

I've never seen "Citizen Kane," but I've seen "Casablanca" and "The Godfather" countless times, and they're ranked 1 and 1A in my book.

So: Is "Citizen Kane" really better than those movies? And why? Just curious.

 

Interesting take on Fonda's "We blew it" line with references to a young Hilary Rodham:

God bless the Syfy Channel. Their latest endeavor is "Sharknado."
At least Tara Reid is working again.
