A Casual Favorite Movies / Films List

[Bogey]

We had a few of these on the old board, and thought it would be nice to have one here.  This thread will probably be short lived, but nice to have when considering movies that one may want to look into or be reminded of.  No limit on the list, and categorize them as you see fit.
In no particular order:

In the newer line
October Sky
Glory
The Dish
Alien
Das Boot
The Usual Suspects
Thomas Crown Affair remake
Rocky
The Untouchables
Pulp Fiction

Most of Eastwood's westerns and Dirty Harry runs

[Bogey]

Still haven't seen this one. This must be remedied.

I believe you will enjoy it Kull....a lot.  Be sure to watch the extras as well.  Great stuff....great filmmaking IMO.

[Bogey]

Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade

I actually liked this one the best out of the three.

Here are some that jumped out at me Kull:

Vertigo (Hitchcock) Loved the "look" and the location/settings, however the story was a bit like walking in mud for me.  I do need to give this another try.

Metropolis (Lang) A great looking film that I am yet to make it all the way through in one sitting.

Blade Runner (Scott) Very underated IMO....maybe Ford's best work.

Murder, My Sweet (Dmytryk) One of the best noirs ever.  Probably should have put it on my list.

Babette's Feast (Axel) Great call!  Just be sure to have a nice spread of food before popping it in. 

[Bogey]

Over Temple of Doom! 

An unwatchable movie IMHO.

Alright then, here we go:

Casablanca
To Have and to Have Not
The Big Sleep
Maltese Falcon


A Streetcar Named Desire

You are a man of very high taste Steve....however, I am yet to see A Streetcar Named Desire.

[Steve]

An unwatchable movie IMHO.

however, I am yet to see A Streetcar Named Desire.

Rectify that as soon as possible. Are you familiar with Mamet?

[sidoze]

The Colour of Pomegranates (Paradjanov)

I've wanted to see this for quite some time. Unfortunately my UK rental company doesn't offer US releases, so like L'Avventura I'll have to buy it and hopefully it'll be worth it (I'm sure it will).

[val]

Some of my favorite movies (at least those I remember now):

Pasolini / Il Vangello secondo Matteo

Bergman / Looking for the Truth (don't know if this is the right title in English)

Marcel Carné / Les visiteurs du soir

The remains of the day (don't remember the director's name, but it is with Anthony Hopkins)

Orson Wells / Macbeth

The night of the hunter (with Robert Mitchum)

Client Eastwood / Unforgivable

"Monsieur Klein", with Alain Delon

[M forever]

An unwatchable movie IMHO.

I found "Temple of Doom" quite watchable and fun! BTW, they just started shooting the 4th IJ movie.
