Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By wtfboombrb: Have you seen, "Mr. Roberts"? Have not. On the list now. Paths of Glory has won for tonight, but please, keep this thread going. There is so many good suggestions it is unreal. Massive wealth of good taste is here. FWIW I own the original All Quiet on DVD, along with Liberty Valance, The Good... The Bad, A Fistful of Dynamite and a few others. So I am not totally hopeless. I think Casablanca is going to be next. I feel like that has to be seen for some reason. |

Sons of the Desert.
Robin Hood w/Errol Flynn & Trigger (before Roy Rogers nabbed him) The Great Train Robbery - it started the cowboy genre She Wore a Yellow Ribbon - JW classic by John Ford To Kill a Mockingbird - classic film with Gregory Peck and Robert Duvall as the creepy (but as it turns out good hearted Boo) 55 Days in Peking - Chuck Heston leads the Marine Corps Embassy Guard in defending the Foreign Delegation Compound during the Boxer Rebellion and F*ck the SeeSeePee. Birth of a Nation - good for showing the propaganda affect on the audience. Triump of the Will - another film noted for its propaganda affect on the viewer. It's A Wonderful Life - Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed star in this classic movie about one man's coming to terms with his life. Should have won the Academy Award but its story was too moralistic for that. Instead they picked a mediocre film with no message anyone can remember. Dawn Patrol - I saw the remake w/Douglas Fairbanks Jr. playing a leading role. It kinda started the aviation genre. Moby Dick - Gregory Peck. Film version of Herman Melville's novel. Bones don't lie. Has any one mentioned Spartacus with Kirk Douglas? |

Judgement at Nuremberg
