As it's been quiet in the pub today, I thought I would watch some classic films, Cleopatra with Richard Burton and Liz Taylor.

What would you watch again

Love Hitchcock films.

Also Casablanca, gone with the wind, all about Eve and a less well known bogart - in a lonely place.

I wish Netflix had more older films on (I'm sure they can't be too expensive especially the less well known ones) I've a few on my list that I've not seen yet but looking forward to.

Butch Cassidy and the substance kid

12 angry men

No man of her own

At least they were relatively original then.

Gregorys Girl

Dirty Harrys

Bond films up to The Spy Who Loved Me

I'm Alright Jack

In Which We Serve

Carve Her Name With Pride

Silence Of The Lambs

The Shawshank Redemption

Gladiator

The Green Mile

And numerous others- it's rare I'll find a modern film that will grab me in the same way

My Top Ten of all time...in no particular order:

12 Angry Men - Henry Fonda and an amazing cast

Goodbye Mr Chips - Robert Donat and Greer Garson

The Dambusters - Richard Todd and the theme tune!

The African Queen - Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn

The Searchers - John Wayne

Lawrence of Arabia - Peter O’Toole

Singing in the Rain - Gene Kelly Donald O'Connor Debbie Reynolds

Hobson's Choice - Charles Laughton and John Mills

Shawshank Redemption - Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman

The Godfather - Marlon Brando and Al Pacino

Couldn't decide on an order of preference.

A Bridge Too Far, absolute classic world war 2 film with one of the finest casts of classic actors ever assembled. Yes it has some glaring errors like the modern (at the time of filming) tanks representing the German armour in a few scenes, but an otherwise excellent telling of the Operation Market Garden story.

Actually there's a thread of it's own just to list classic war films looking through this thread - whether they be of the factual (Battle Of Britain, A Bridge Too Far, The Longest Day) or the fictional action (Kelly's Heroes, Guns Of Navarone, The Dirty Dozen, Where Eagles Dare, Von Ryan's Express) type it's certainly a much loved genre

Some great suggestions here - to which I'll add The Third Man, The Wicker Man, Enter The Dragon and The Matrix (first one only) - I make no claims for the latter two being heavyweight classics, obviously, but can happily watch both as many times as the TV people want to screen them
