Number one on my list is most definitely LOTM! Absolutely!
Others that I can watch repeatedly:
The Patriot Drums Along the Mohawk Gettysburg Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves Dances With Wolves The Crossing (made for TV) Ever After (don't you just adore it, Daire?) Paradise Road Dirty Dancing (now how did that get in here???) Rose Marie (old Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddy flic... another Canadian Mountie! Woo-hoo!) and any old movie with Deanna Durbin in it.

Braveheart(trying to get a body count) Lord of the Rings trilogy Empire Records(great movie, great sound track) Tobmstone(I love Doc Holiday, and I love cowboys) Ride with the Devil(It's about the Civil War, don't worry) Last of the Mohicans(I've really gotten to the point where I can quote lines) Gone with the Wind The Patriot(the one with Mel Gibson and the one with Steven Segal... Man, do I love Segal...Just kidding..Kind of) The Princess Bride (The list goes on and on, I'm sorry I just keep adding to it...) ---I've not seen The Alamo, but I wanted to (I'm sure it WOULD be on the list |

Anyone seen Wyatt Earp? Thought it was better than Tombstone.
Dances with Wolves is amazing - has to be one of the all time best right along with LOTM.
Thought the first Lord of the Rings was fab but am almost ashamed to say I thought the last one was a little too long - battle scene great - ending (yawn). I will probably be booed off the stage for that little out-rage!
As a little girl the Princess Bride was a fav movie of mine as well as the Phantom of the Opera with Charles Dance.
Think I remember seeing the Hawkeye tv series as well.
Oh but the Beauty and the Beast tv series was like the best ever tv series - I hear the booing again - probably be followed by some rotten eggs so I'll be off.

Well, I must say that there were very good films on this thread and normally I would have listed some of them but I thought I'd do a separate list,none of which I think}have been listed}of some of the very best I have seen and in no particular order except for four of them. The Gunfighter,Gregory Peck High Sierra,Humphrey Bogart Stage Coach,John Wayne The Grapes of Wrath,Henry Fonda Witness For The Prosecution,Tyrone Power Most anything by Alfred Hitchcock One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest,Jack Nicholson Night of the Hunter,Robert Mitchum Cape Fear,Robert Mitchum
Then there are four films from which I cannot pick just one and they are: The Oxbow Incident,Henry Fonda Dana Andrews and a fine ensemble cast The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,Hunmphrey Bogart,Walter Huston Breaker Morant,Edward Woodward Gallipoli,Mel Gibson The last two are Australian films which didn't get much play in the U.S. That's my list of oldies but goodies although there are some great films in the other lists and someone listed one of my all time favorites,Dr.Strangelove,or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb,Peter Sellers{three roles},George C. Scott as Gen. Buck Tugidson, Sterling Hayden as Brig. General Jack D. Ripper and who can forget Slim Pickens riding the bomb down as though he was riding a bull in a rodeo That's my list and I think some are still available in the video stores and I might futther add that the last two Australian films present issues that are very much in tune with some of the problems we face in today's world.

A couple of my favorites I don't remember seeing on anyone's list include:
American Beauty Being John (Jon?) Malkovich Election The Piano Citizen Kane Memento Serial Mom (SO campy!!)
Graybeard Longhunter mentioned "The Awakening Land", which is a great miniseries set in Chillicothe, Ohio and starring Hal Holbrook, Jane Seymour, Elizabeth Montgomery and some other notable TV stars ... are you sure it's not available anywhere on tape or DVD? I'd love to see it again ... or even to read it. Sadly, the original Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Conrad Richter is not in print or even available in most libraries (except through interlibrary loan).
Happy New Year!
