    There are so many that I'd have to make a list of a hundred or so. One comes immediately to mind and that's Cary Grant's, I Was a Male War Bride, one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. No, Man's Favorite Sport with Rock Hudson was probably just as funny.

    I think I'll watch the remake of The Italian Job this evening. First of all, I have a mini-crush on Charlize Theron (sorry, honey!) and secondly, I love all those jacked-up Mini Coopers tearing thru Venice and LA! Really good actors. I mean, who doesn't love Edward Norton?!! (others: Mark Wahlberg; Donald Sutherland; Yasiin Bey (Mos Def); Jason Statham; Seth Green)

    A basketball site and no one mentions “White Men Can’t Jump”? There’s action, comedy, even a prime Rosie Perez nip slip. What more can one ask for?

    Forbidden Planet - The most exciting science fiction I've ever seen. Even thought it's an oldie it's still good to this day. Like science fictions? See this one.

    Had to watch that one junior year of HS and HATED it ... I've pondered going back and rewatching to see if I appreciate it more now but never have.

    Gotta agree with:
    A Few Good Men
    Shawshank Redemption
    Schindler's List

    But there are probably several hundred others just as good:
    The Big Country
    Forbidden Planet
    El Cid
    Saving Private Ryan
    Dr. No
    From Russia with Love
    The Grapes of Wrath
    The Pink Panther
    Animal House
    The Blues Brothers
    2001 a Space Odyssey
    North by North West
    Hud
    To Kill a Mocking Bird
    The Searchers
    Lawrence of Arabia
    Glory
    The Equalizer
    Carbon Copy
    High Noon
    Spartacus
    Seven Days in May
    etc. etc. etc.

    You into to Alfred Hitchcock? Vertigo and Rear Window are great, but North by Northwest is my favorite.

    North by North West is one of my all time favorites. I can't believe I didn't include it in one of my lists.
