1. Meet Joe Black.

2. Spy Game.

3. Cleopatra (Burton, Taylor).

4. Dr. Zhivago.

5. The Spy Who Came in From The Cold.

Going to list some of "my" classic comedies:

The Great Race   "Push the button Max!"

Young Frankenstein/Blazing Saddles (1974, the year of Mel Brooks)  "My, what knockers!"

Airplane/Naked Gun/Top Secret  "Is this some kind of bust?  "It's very impressive, yes."

Kingpin  (Munson: "How's life."  Neighbor (smoking with oxygen on): "Takin' forever.")

US censors.... strange animals to say the least... not to mention those peculiar minded people who keep them in a job.

Yup, I find it so strange [hypocritical, even] that US movies can show wholesale tits and bum from beginning to end, yet love scenes on US TV [stuff intended for adults] are sanitised to the point they're not even credible.... eg, people who have just done the horizontal dance together are not concerned about covering up their rude bits with sheets, etc.

Also dumbfounding was the fuss over Janet Jackson's Superbowl nipple slip. It was over before most even noticed it, yet the public outcry went on for months afterwards.  Thing is, if the news and current affairs programmes hadn't made a big song and dance about it, it's likely the majority of Americans would never have noticed/known anything about it, yet that 2 seconds goes down as a blight in US history.

Equally as puzzling is the eff word being censored/bleeped out when it has become every day language for many US citizens, yet if one expletive gets though on TV there's a public outrage and letters of complaint to station management. 

Like, WTF?

Okay, confused mode off now and b.o.t. [back on topic]

My fave horror [slash comedy] is 'The Evil Dead' series with Bruce Davidson... and of those 'The Evil Dead 2' tops the list.

My fave war movie is 'Where Eagles Dare' with Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton [though I ordinarily don't like this genre at all]

My fave sci-fi is 'The Hidden' with Kyle McLachlan

My fave drama is 'The Verdict' with Paul Newman.

My fave thriller is 'The Green Mile' with Tom Hanks

Great western pics starkers!

Okay, animal lovers, animal rights activists, etc, please accept this as a public apology to all animals and associated friends....

It was a mistake to call US censors a strange kind of animal and I retract that statement and apologise completely and unreservedly.  Sadly, US censors are peculiar something or others, but clearly they are NOT animals and should not be categorised as such.  Animals are more loyal, loving and trustworthy.... and can be reasoned with.... unlike censors, politicians and bureaucrats. 

Any animals who were offended by my earlier comment, sorry and please disregard it.

I like quite a wide range of movies and genres, though I can take or leave musicals. I'm not into those slasher/slice and dice gore movies, either.  I'm mostly into sci-fi, fantasy and thrillers, with the occasional drama and comedy thrown in here and there to break the monotony. 

Yeah, I like the older style westerns.  Another I really liked was 'Thunder in the Sun' with Tab Hunter.... about a wagon train master guiding the French Basque and their grapes to California.  Also, 'The Sheepman' was another western I enjoyed, with Glenn Ford, Shirley McClaine, Slim Pickens.  For me, Glenn Ford was one of the greats of Hollywood and far too often was underrated [when compared to John Wayne, etc] as an actor.

Airplane was a parody of the Airport movies, so I would have expected it to be "airplane" as the link to the other movies was stronger.

You are quite right, it was.  It's just that I know somebody named Bruce Davidson and I got my wires crossed... it happens a lot in my old age.

I like my Musicals...

ShowBoat  the 1936 film version - Irene Dunn, Alan Hale, Helen Morgan, Hattie McDaniel and Paul Robeson

Yankee Doodle Dandy - James Cagney, Oscar winner 1942

The Great Ziegfeld - William Powell

The King and I

Sound of Music

Funny Girl

I don't... unless you include 'Little Shop of Horrors' with Rick Moranis, Ellen Green, John Candy, Steve Martin, Bill Murray.

So if that's classified as a musical, then I like that one.... "and suddenly Seymour, is right there beside you....."

Now that Ellen Greene lass really has a set of pipes.....

Would 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' be classified as a musical?

If so then I don't mind that one, either..... "Science fiction, double feature...."

And How about 'Calamity Jane'?

Doris Day was my dad's favourite actress/singer.... "and now I shout it from the highest hill, even told the golden daffodil...."

Then there's 'This is Spinal Tap'... which has to be a musical because all their songs go to 11.... "my baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo... I like to sink her with my pink torpedo....".

And 'Tommy' .... who's got "such a subtle wrist" while his uncle's on a 'Yellow Submarine' doing a 'Magical Mystery Tour'

Nah, I don't like musicals.

The Sandlot

Cool Hand Luke

Gold Rush

This are my top 3
