And not like 1933 old....but from the 60's to the late 90's.

Casablanca.

The acting is amazing.

Brazil
Alien Resurrection
Groundhog Day
Exotica

My must watch list would include:

The Godfather ( I and II, DO NOT WATCH III)

One Flew Over the ####oo's Nest

Planet of the Apes

Ben Hur

Spartacus (Stanley Kubrick)

The Ten Commandments

Battle of the Bulge

Midway

Once Upon A Time in America (really good)

Scarface

Lawrence of Arabia (classic)

Westworld (I'm a huge Yul Brynner fan)

Taxi Driver

The Party (with Peter Sellers, one of the greatest comedies of all time)


I'm sure I'll have more later.

Edit: Didn't take me long to think of more.

The Deer Hunter

Platoon

2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick)

Full Metal Jacket (Kubrick)

A Clockwork Orange (Kubrick)
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Kubrick)

Apocalypse Now (based on Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness)

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

The Bridge on the River Kwai

Raging Bull

Blade Runner



That'll keep ya busy for a month or two.

One last one. If you like war films rent Band of Brothers. Actually a mini series consisting of 10 parts. Produced by Tom Hanks, one or two were even writen by him. One of the best war films/shows I've ever seen.

What? I thought the 3rd was the best of the trilogy.

and you just earned a second blue square.

[habernac]

yeah, part three was so far below the first two it's not funny. The first two are cinematic gold. The third was very mediocre.

[McG]

top gun.
die hards.
bean.
predator.
alien 1 and 2.
terminator 1 and 2.

[Azure]

Wow...great list flip...looks like a lot of good stuff in there.

Thanks!
