Die Hard, yes, Rocky #1 and once..Rambo..not at all bring on a "real" Rambo...maybe

How about CONTAGION and OUTBREAK

I think the godfather movies were pretty good representations of italian immigrant life. Now that I live in Vegas, I can appreciate the CASINO movie.

Midway was great (the original one, not the 'remake" they called Pearl Harbor.

I like Godfather movies, Avatar 3D, Predator (1 only), 6 days-7 nights, Titanic, X-men, Jurassic Park (1 and 3), thats all I can remember. I dont watch many movies- I prefer documentaries

Allosaurus meaning "different lizard" wants to be different here, of course What's life without some spice?
My two favorite samurai flicks are famous Japanese Director Kurosawa's two movie classics: "Yojimbo" (famous Italian Sergio Leone was successfully sued for "A Fistful Of Dollars" following the plot way too closely) and Seven Samurai (The Magnificent Seven got permission for the similar plot, though the very recent remake really stinks).
The best remake me dino thinks me ever saw was made in 1990 of George Romero's iconic Night Of The Living Dead made during 1968.
Frank, if I were you, I'd watch Godfather 1 and Godfather 2 (both are great) but do not even touch the Godfather 3 DVD. Please, don't even THINK about watching that. It hurts!

The Thin Man movies are all fun, light entertainment, and the rapport between William Powell and Myrna Loy is unforgettable.

Hitchcock: To Catch A Thief, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Rope, The Trouble With Harry, NORTH BY NORTHWEST.

Fuhgeddaboudit. As a suggestion, at no time publicly admit you never saw Godfather I & II, lol. “The Bronx Tale” and “Green Book” are classics with many life lessons. But then again, I’m Italian.

My particular favorite is "A Thousand Clowns", a comedy/drama about pleasant, happy (though a bit quirky) people who just want to be left alone. Government bureaucrats can't stop meddling.

We had 7 kiddos in our station wagon that was one of vacation adventures...would get a french fry with loads of ketchup (we could not afford them at home) passed them around the car, except for my parents.

I have never totally watched Good, Bad...I fall asleep...tried at least 5 times.

Frank, I had not seen any of the Godfather Movies until maybe 10 years ago they being on pay for cable channels....I have now see all three at least 10 times and every time the stations are empty as over the past months...they show again but rarely 3...see all three and come back and tell what you think

I wouldn't watch the Godfather movies (and haven't).

1980s action movies! Rambo, Die Hard, Rocky.

Notice something: Movies that become popular reflect the times. If you want to FEEL like we did in the 1980s, watch those movies. Notice a few years ago, they were all Dystopian Future movies? Yeah, you will feel like you feel today... Not much of an escape!

That's funny. We were "frugal" when I was a kid, too. But, I remember my dad smuggling my brother and me into drive ins.

Hello shirkesk....it would be appropriate to introduce yourself and your intentions when arriving in the Gulch.

I really don't like remakes as a rule. Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House was destroyed by The Money Pit as example. I must say I like both versions of Dune on their respective attempts at a expressing a work that could easily have been 12 hours.
Best remake ever ever ever...was Mel Gibson in Hamlet....it came alive and personal....I went down the rabbit hole with him.

Have to +1 the original Day The Earth Stood Still. The remake with Keanu Reeves was awful.

Western... The Good The Bad And The Ugly or The Outlaw Josie Wales

Humor....Blazing Saddles
Adventure...Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Drama.... Grand Canyon
War movie..Bridge over the River Kwai
Submarine...Run silent run deep
Series... the Thin man

Or Being John Malkovich, if you can get through the first 45 min...then...

Starting a family....Pixar's Inside Out.
For fun...the Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy and any of Bing Crosby/Bob Hope "Road Shows"... Americana
For introspection: Lions for Lambs, Robert Redford; The Day The Earth Stood Still, Michael Rennie and Patricia Neal; Jean de Floretta and Magnon de Sources, Girard Depardeau in the first and the second is sequel without him.

Jaws. Everybody should see Jaws.

My Myself and Irene is good if you're twisted like me. Over many people's heads, I think. (maybe just way below...)

That's what I'm hoping for. I didn't have a lot of time to watch movies between growing a business, starting a family, and passing two bar exams.

I'm finally at a point where I can enjoy some 'me' time.

Be careful what you ask for.....I'm guessing you'll get bombarded in the next day. LOL!
I'll approach this with question. Genre is important. Do you look for entertainment, philosophical, life metaphor?........
I'm guessing that you could get over 100 unique recommendations from each of the highly active members here....good luck sorting.
