Has "Das Boot" been mentioned yet? The long German version is another work-of-art.

Blazing Saddles! How could I forget. Never get made in today's over the top politically correct environment.

Bridge Over the River Kwai
My Dad had a meeting in Lansing, Michigan. I was 8 or 9 years old and went with him. Believe if or not, it was a time when it was safe enough for me to wander the streets of downtown Lansing while he was in the meeting. So, I went to the movies. Bridge on the River Kwai. The theatre was completely dark. I mean completely. Wow. What a movie for an 8 or 9 year old. Then I went back to meet Dad.

Good list except for Red October -- if you read the book, the movie is so watered down it made me not care to see it again.

My wife is complaining that these lists all reflect the preferences of old men. Where are the « chick flicks » and « hunk » films? Sigh, I guess it’s our primary demograpic, unfortunately.
You mean my list which includes Mystic Pizza, Working Girl, and Pretty Woman do not qualify for "chick flick" status? Hey, and I'm 70!

And while we're on David Lean, Lawrence of Arabia. I saw it a few years back with a new 70mm print in a theater - hard to beat.
Forgot that from my list -- a real classic and one I've watched three times and will probably watch it again but finding 3+ hours for a movie isn't easy.
