    Lotsa Dirty Harry fans here:puzzled: I just watched "The Breakfast Club" today again for the one thousandth time. Great flick! Quite groundbreaking at the time if I remember. Plus the whole movie was shot in one location!

    Looks like we have something besides Buicks as common interests. I really enjoy old classic movies, especially in black and white.

    Couple of my favorites are "The Thinman" series with William Powell, and the original Cape Fear. A good later (color) movie with early stars in it is Ghost Story. I think Ray Milland, Hume Cronyn, and some others were in it.

    Oh yeah, Rear Window. Perfect movie- Hitchcock, suspense, Grace Kelly.

    Others include: Mad Max series, any Woody Allen film, When Harry Met Sally, American Beauty, and Rocky Horror Picture Show.

    Many of mine, like Braveheart, It's a Wonderful Life, and Rear Window have already been mentioned. One I didn't see listed yet is When Harry Met Sally. Great movie about self discovery with a lot of good humor thrown in.

    Nobody here's a Kurosawa fan?? How about the Hidden Fortress or Seven Samurai?

    The best film ever made may well be Citizen Kane.

    My favorites would be

    Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (think you used enough dynamite there, Butch?)
    Taxi Driver
    Star Wars
    Blade Runner
    Sanjuro (Akira Kurosawa flick, Toshiro Mifune stars)
    Saving Private Ryan
    American Graffiti
    Two Lane Blacktop
    Payback
    the Thing (Carpenter's, not the original)
    1941 (see the director's cut for even more hilarious Slim Pickens scenes)
    Dr. Stangelove
    Blazing Saddles
    Ran (another Kurosawa film, based on King Lear)
    Reservoir Dogs
    Raiders of the Lost Ark
    The Three Musketeers (Richard Lester's 1973 version- he directed Help! if I remember correctly- stars Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain, Michael York, Raquel Welch, Christopher Lee, Anne Bancroft, Charleton Heston and others- see it!)
    The Producers
    The Ghost and the Darkness




    Oh God I'm gonna stop because I love so many films
