The Searchers, Gunfight at the OK Corral, Double Indemnity, The Big Sleep, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. I love I know where I'm Going too. And I enjoyed The Guns of Navarone as a kid! Then there's The Gospel According to St Matthew (Pasolini). And many more I 'm sure.

@MartinII Don't know the last one goog though. For Gospel movie I'd take Franco Zeffirelli’s 1977 television miniseries, Jesus of Nazareth.

I read Treasure of the Sierra Madre in book form before I ever saw the movie on TV.

I remember being shocked when the protagonist Dobbs suddenly got his head cut off. I stared at the page in disbelief for more than a few seconds. 😳

If you’ve seen Scorsese's "Mean Streets", he put a clip of "The Searchers" in it.
The movie that put the whammy on me when I was thirteen was "Seven Samurai". That made me understand the role of the director. I grew up watching black and white television and remembered watching "Singing In the Rain" only in black and white. The first time I saw it in color was on the big screen and it blew me away.
A top five is impossible choice for me.
The Thin Man (1934)
Double Indemnity (1944)
Sunset Boulevard (1950)
Blow-Up (1966)
GoodFellas (1990)
@craig7

I know you must have way more than 5 :D

So do I but we were only allowed that many... the kind of movie that, if it's on TV, you must watch it.

By the way, the man on the train who went to get Fred MacMurray's smokes in Double Indemnity and the killer in The Thin Man were both played by Porter Hall.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Last Unicorn
Legend
Darby O'Gill and the Little People
Immortal Ad Vitam
Clerks 2
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
Empire Records
The entire LOTR series.

I have MUCH more than 5.
You haven't been to the cinema recently??

@val70 I have to check out the one you mentioned. I just like movie that makes me forget about life for 2 hours. I thoroughly loved the Green Book. I’m
not worried about accuracy or messages just want to be entertained!
val70 · 56-60
@4thdimensiondream Entertainment is only one element in a good movie. Messaging about the past is yet another. It's my own impression that I got more out The Best of Enemies. Perhaps it's because I'm working class and could relate to both main characters easier.

@val70 I just read about your movie and the real life people. I’m shocked I never heard of this film. I will find it and get back to you. Sounds really good.

These are five that immediately come to mind. Ask me after I have a day or so to think about it, and the list might be different.

The Pawnbroker (1964)
Ship of Fools (1965)
In the Heat of the Night (1967)
Network (1976)
Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@val70 That's a great scene from the movie.

@Rutterman One feels almost time turning a page there.

Things have hardly changed at all since then among real estate and car salespeople. 🤭
