I enjoy Alfred Hitchcock movies. Psycho, Dial M for Murder, Vertigo, Strangers on a Train, Don't Look Now.

Some other great movies: Sunset Boulevard, To Kill a Mockingbird, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Billy Budd, Edward Scissorhands.

Nice choices! I never saw "Billy Budd". Thanks!

The silent versions of Ben Hur and The Thief of Bagdad are awesome!

Check out silent movies by Buster Keaton, (The Cameraman, The General, Young Sherlock for starters) Harold Lloyd (Speedy, Why Worry and Safety Last for starters) and Lon Chaney Sr (The Unkown, Laugh Clown Laugh and Phantom of the Opera)

I saw the silent "Ben Hur"(1925) on the big screen, with a full orchestra! The chariot race in this version is just as exciting as the 1959 version! I loved "The General"(1926). Thanks for the other recommendations!

One of my favourites is "As Good as it Gets" (Jack Nicholson as Melvin - an obsessive-compulsive novelist who takes pride in his ability to offend, repulse and wound...)

Cute film.

My Cousin Vinny

Really funny, excellent writing, and all the characters hit their personal career highs while acting in this movie. Fred Gwynne was AMAZING. Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei also fantastic. This movie is full of memorable sound bites and verbal exchanges. It's one of my all time favorites.

Never saw it. Thanks!

"Spartacus" :

That was a good movie, even though Tony Curtis is laughable

yes, agree, but that was his very 1st important role.....and it paved the way for his acting career

Tony Curtis was very good before "Spartacus"(1960), in the excellent film "Sweet smell of Success"(1957), and the great comedy "Some like it Hot"(1959). He even had become quite a star, from what I've read, in 1958 with "The Defiant Ones"(I never saw it). It wasn't his fault he was so bad in Spartacus, he was just totally miscast there

That's a great list. The Forbidden Planet is definitely worth watching. Robby the Robot!

i watch movies very low but just royal casino or007 maybe is good

It was probably the most entertaining "Bond" film since Sean Connery played the role!

most of hollywood films are made only for people minds to find out american thoughts to prepare world for u.s.a

and i said royal casino is good from aspect thier actors and actions not from it internal

Films are made to make money. That's why so very many of them suck. It has nothing to do with propaganda.

mr you arent informed about freemasonary and hollywood they are the same and their thoughts are the same and is going to a same goal money in not important for them

they just want to prepare themselves for people to operate their thoughts easier

You are misinformed.

70 or 80 percent of hollywood persons are freemason and my source is reliable

If you want to talk about conspiracy theories, there are plenty of threads for that already.

Just saw two days ago The Bonfire of the Vanities but I have to say that the Tom Wolfe's novel is much more subtil and interesting than the movie.De Palma's movie is a caricature of the novel.Dommage.
Speaking of movies...The Wizard of Oz of course! One flew over the cuckoo's nest(M.Forman)Birdy(A.Parker)...and so much more.(Not to forget the good old westerns too)

Never saw it, but thanks for the warning "Oz", and "Cuckoo's nest" are very good! Never saw "Birdy". Thanks!
