You guys are either young men or you have short memories!  Practically all recent Movies.

I'm glad to see that The Maltese Falcon made someones list.  But no mention of The Five Thousand Fingers of Doctor T?  Would anyone vote for The Ox Bow Incident?  And Stage Coach not on the list?

Put me down for the never saw GWTW club.

I didn't mention "Stagecoach" but I did add "Any western by John Ford" at the end of my extended list.

Mary and I watched the real Stagecoach made in1939 with John Wayne this afternoon.  :)

A top 5 or only 5 might be hard to do, but Top Gun comes to mind. seems like you cant get a group of guys together without some one spouting off a top gun line.

Negative maveric, the pattern in full.

After that it might be the timmy/jimmy power hour I, II, and III   Anyone with kids and the nick channel may have heard of it.

In no particular order:
"Lonesome Dove".......I know, it was a TV movie, but still........; or anything else by Larry McMurtry.
"The Big Country"........Peck, Simmons, Ives, Baker, Heston
One of (depending on my mood) "The Quiet Man".......Wayne, O'Hara; "The Searchers".........Wayne, Hunter;"Rio Grande"........Wayne, O'Hara
"Miracle on 34th Street"...........Payne, O'Hara
"The Philadelphia Story".........Stewart, Hepburn, Grant

That's only 5, right  ;D

The Big Country is at the top of my list!!  My favorite all-time line was uttered by Burl Ives to Gregory Peck:  "Teach your grandmother to suck eggs!" 
Grandchildren, Bluegrass music, old tractors, trees and sawmills.  It don't get no better'n that!

An interesting asside:  I found the movie, The Maltese Falcon, immeasurably better than the printed story.

How many times can I/you/we say that?

Lord of the rings
Independance Day
Alien trilogy
Sin City
Kung Pow

Star wars woulda made it but the 3 prequels turned the big scary Darth Vader into a whiney little girl with dependancy issues  :D

I found this real special for all the others that feel the same about Star wars.

Not sure if I should post the link but if you google "Robot Chicken: Darth Vader Calls the Emperor"

you will wet yourself laughing.

When I saw The Ten Commandments back when it first came out, at the start of the movie, it was announced that there would be an intermission at the half point of the movie. After three and one half hours with out the intermission, I heard someone say they didn't think they made over seven hour movies. :o  The theater must have forgot about the break at the two hour mark.

We watched parts of two great movies this evening. 

After supper I put on a DVD of "Anne of Green Gables" (1934 version in B&W) that I'd recorded off of TCM over the weekend.  Alex loves the classic movies and she was glued to the movie.  Gabe and Mary were even looking over top of the books they were reading to follow along. We didn't get to finish it before the girls' bedtime so we'll get back to it tomorrow night.

After the girls said their goodnights',  we found "American Graffiti" was in progress on TCM so we finished out the evening with that.   "Rome wasn't burnt in a night."
