Stagecoach -- John Wayne
The Man who Shot Liberty Valance -- Also John Wayne, but not in a headliner role, which was Jimmy Stewart.
The original Gojira (Godzilla) -- NOT the one with Raymond Burr (which was a badly recut and edited version of the original, and called "Godzilla, King of the Monsters")
+1 for amazing tastes and knowing Gorjira!
All Quite on the Western Front is a great one.
"Bang the Drum Slowly" Early Robert DeNiro & Michael Moriarty Best closing line ever in a movie.
The Great Race with an acting tour de force from Jack Lemmon in multiple roles and a gorgeous Natalie Wood in a merry widow for much of the film- oh la-la!!!
*("Throw more brandy")
Netflix is streaming Sunset Boulevard, a must see if you're new to late 40's early 50's film noir.

Experience is the hardest teacher. She gives the test before the lesson.
I like movies that can invoke emotions. Birth Of a Nation was that kind of film.
The Emerald Forest
Lost and confused in an optical wonderland!
Best pie fight, let us not forget Blazing Saddles.
I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it. Mark Twain
Dr. Strangelove (Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb)
"Gentlemen, you can't fight here, this is the war room!"
The original sci-fi movie: Metropolis (although I also hear that some Star Wars thing from the '70's was pretty good)
Most early Mel Brooks, especially Young Frankenstien, Blazing Saddles, and History of the World pt. 1 (excellent performance by Bea Arthur)
Pretty much anything by Akira Kurosawa, although admittedly some are better than others.
The version of Draclua with Peter Cushing in it.
Henry V with Kenneth Branagh, because the St. Crispin's Day speech is beyond words to describe.
There are rules. Knowing those are easy. There are exceptions to the rules. Knowing those are easy. Knowing when to use them is slightly less easy. There are exceptions to the exceptions. Knowing those is a little more tricky, and know when to use those is even more so. Our industry is FULL of all of the above.
The early Russian cinema is par excellence:
Alexander Nevsky
Battleship Potemkin
Lighter fare:
Mister Roberts
Operation Petticoat
Father Goose
Victory At Sea (26 episodes)
The Man in the White Suit
From Television in the heyday:
The original Prisoner with Patrick McGoohan 18 episodes
I used to watch the original Prisoner ..Patrick McGoohan was cool!
The Prisoner was AWESOME (and REALLY weird).
I also forgot Logan's Run for movies (the tv spin off was meh).
