As far as I like?

The original Nosferatu (1922) film is quite nice. If even features great (for its time) special effects
when the vampire is destroyed. Nice acting too. The vampire was golden.

Birth of a Nation (1915) is a bit of a weird thing. It is shameless KKK propaganda but I laughted my ass
off all through the second part of the film. "And then the mighty knights of the KKK gave the black man a
fair trial. GUILTY!" -> [Next scene shows the black man nailed to a wooden door]

The classics from Keaton and Roscoe are awesome. I d say they are better than Chaplin ones, even if
Chaplin was a better actor overall.My Wife's Relations was quite funny and I have fond memories of The
Goat.

Speaking of Chaplin, The Great Dictator is a Masterpiece and everybody should watch it.

Fast forward, 12 Angry Men (1957) is a great sample of how a good film can be made with ust a room and a
bunch of good actors, a simple script and a good director.

Fast forward, Dragonheart (1996) is one of the best fantasy films with an original script ever made, in
hard contest with Willow for the first position.

Fast forward, Upgrade (2018) is the last great film ever made. It is a science-fiction thriller in which
a tetraplegic receives a computer implant and allows him to function as a normal person again, and
embarks in a revenge crusade to crush the people who murdered his wife and ruined his life. A deep dive
into the implications of augmented humanity via technology and its consequences.

This list would not be complete without Avatar ·(2009), because of its high production values and
memorable characters. In my opinion, the last really good film at the end of the non-woke era.

I am leaving many films that deserve an honorable mention, should as the original Robocop one, Karlof's
Frankenstein, and plenty of other great films. Sadly, there are just so many movies that can make it to
this list.

Okay, I have a lot of movies that I like. I don't know if they fall
under the "Best of All Time" but I know what I enjoyed watching and
what I re-watch from time to time.

The Sound of Music (1965) - I love this film because it reminds me of
happy memories from my childhood. Also, when I finally (as a youngster) watched it completely, paying attention and all, I remember being
surprised that it was also a story about a family fleeing from the
Nazi's. Cool movie. Sappy, perhaps, but Julie Andrews is awesome. :-)
Yes, I am aware of Christopher Plummer calling it the Sound of Mucus.
:-)

Speed Racer (2008) - Okay, this movie didn't do well in the box office, despite my returning to see it 10 times in the theatre. What? Yeah. I
know. But, I grew up watching the Speed Racer cartoons on TV. When I
saw the movie trailer for it I thought, "That looks lame, what did
they do to my Speed Racer?" But then when I saw it, I realized what a masterpiece it was. They brought to live action the same feel and humor
of the cartoon. The attention to detail in this movie when compared to
the cartoon is just incredible. Love the movie to this day.

Pride & Prejudice (2005, Keira Knightley, Rosamund Pike, Simon Woods,
Matthew Macfadyen & Donald Sutherland) - Okay, I had always heard of
this story by it's name but never read the book or watched any previous
movies based on the story. One day my wife and I were out and about and decided to just drop in and see what was playing at our local theatre.
She picked this movie, and I thought . . . okay. Whatever. Sure. This
movie now remains one of our favorites to watch. I just remember being mezmorized by the cinematography and the music. To this day, I still
LOVe the music in this movie. The acting was great and it was just a
fun movie to watch.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) - Need I say more? Love it.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 (2017) - They used Fleetwood Mac music. I
love Fleetwood Mac. I love this movie. LOL

That's all for now.

I am afraid I have yet to watch most Universal monster movies. I loved Frankenstain myself. "Now I know what it feels like to be God!" Still gives me the creeps. Also, the actor playing the hunchback went on to a sucessful career playing, errr, hunchbacks.

I bought a DVD pack with 50 horror classics in it. So far I think only 10 of them are actual classics, but even the B-quality ones are actually quite enjoyable. Lots of Boris and Lugosi in the pack! I feel bad for Lugosi, though, as he would have become much more of a celebrity if he hadn't had the missfortune of competing with Boris.

For the record, I used to source my DVDs from oldies.com. Lots of classic films and TV shows in there for cheap. If your Internet connection sucks it is better to rder the DVDs than to pirate the movies, as long as you order in bulck and pick offers :-P

Many of the films already mentioned sound very familiar and
I've probably seen most of them at some point. I would concur
on their excellent entertainment value.

A few months ago, I received a box of DVDs and VHS films for
resale. Perhaps some these can make the list?

heh, I had forgotten about Andromeda Strain. Good catch.

The Bourne Identity was nice but imo it lost some fuel by the middle of the movie. I felt it was not well rounded up somehow. Also, the fact the sequels should all be called The Bourne Redundancy does not help the cause.

I don't know if you recall, in the 70s there was a remake of Frankenstein
in color. I barely remember as a kid it was on NBC as a 2-night event. Quite well done, however I can not for the life of me remember who any of the
actors were. It may even have been a british film.

Very true, almost as how Buster Keaton was always in Charlie Chaplin's
shadows. Both I believe co-started in separate Charlie Chan movies as
well.

classic films and TV shows in there for cheap. If your Internet

Have you seen "Final Wars"? The japanese take a funny dig at the American
Zilla :D I believe I have all of the films both Japanese and U.S. They had
a special showing of Final Wars at the Kodak theature in Rochester(?), NY
and all the original japanese actors were supposed to be in attendance. No
one wished to go with me there. That would have been a fun road trip.

Have you seen "Final Wars"? The japanese take a funny dig at the American Zilla :D I believe I have all of the films both Japanese and U.S. They had
a special showing of Final Wars at the Kodak theature in Rochester(?), NY
and all the original japanese actors were supposed to be in attendance. No one wished to go with me there. That would have been a fun road trip.

No I have not seen that one. Rochester would have been a pretty far trip
for me. :)

How 'bout some Woody Allen films?

Sleeper (1973)
Broadway Danny Rose (1984)
Purple Rose of Cairo (1985)
Radio Days (1987)

I think they tried to make me endure a Woody Allen film once. The only thing it was good for was making me turn the TV set off and start being productive with my time.

I think the film was titled "Manhattan" but I could be wrong. It has been some time.

I assume you are talking about the most recent iteration of The Mummy, the one that got three films made. In my opinion, the third was a fine adventure movie, but not an actual The Mummy movie, if that makes any sense to you. Also, the Rick X Eve chemistry was not really there.

Yes! I was trying to think of "Brandon Fraser" :D The 3rd one was "OK" but as you point out that chemistry wasn't there.

... Never judge a fruit by its skin. Neelix

I was investigating why Rachel was replaced for Eve's role in the third movie. According to some online source, she didn't want to be cast in a role that protrayed her as some 20 year old dude's mother because that would reflect badly on her own age (and her career). I don't know how true that is.

But then, in an intervew she mentioned she had scheduling conflicts and could not make it to the movie. So maybe we will never know.

To be honest, I liked her better in the first Mummy movie. I din't like her look that much in the 2nd film.

Sometimes they'll say stuff to distract us from the general "celebrity

One thing that did surprise me in the first 2 were some of the biblical references they made were spot on. They obviously did their research.

There was a British director named Michael Powell who did several fantastic films in the 1940's and 1950's. including "A Matter of Life and Death,"
which I should have included on my list, and was a big influence on Martin Scorsese.

He later did a horror movie about a serial peeping tom/killer that was very vivid and somewhat tarnished his career for people who were not as familiar with his earlier work. I have not seen that one.

Where I got it, it was on a subchannel of the local NBC affiliate.
I can't get cable TV, their boxes literally blow up on me. I was told recently by a cox tech that all cable companies are going to force streaming soon because they're losing money on renting boxes. With what they charge go figure that one out! More like Roku and Fire are killing them in offerings!

Peacock for those on Comcrap is free and there's even a link in it where your "cable box" channels appear for live tv. I already have Hulu so I added
live TV with it and FireTV. Peacock isn't supposed to work with Fire but there is a way to get it to work without cracking Fire.

Unless it's fairly new, they don't allow streaming off their website.
They do tease you with their listing of shows however.

I don't know that he did anything that other directors like Stanley Kubrick

THX 1138 (1971)
- although it *is* a bit l-o-o-o-n-g and drawn out in some

the depiction of androids is clever. I watched it for the first

Being There (1979)

- it has a gamer's feel to it (ie, a chance to redo the past

- very high pace
- german, but with english subtitles (surprising NOT a total
distraction at all)
- I found myself watching it a few times just to re-enjoy the
smooth one-take running shots mixed with animations.

Time Bandits, not so much. It was so-so at best, and while not really bad, I don't know why people
gives it so much credit. Still I loved the Napoleon part.

The thing that was special with Final Wars was that it was the 50th anniversary of the series and Toho studios was trying to end production
of Godzilla thinking it had it's run, however Hollywood had other plans
still and that in a sense nudged Toho to come out with Shin Godzilla.
I wonder if they'll do any more.

On one of my Zilla DVDs they have bonus features of how they made certain scenes of the film. It was pretty interesting to say the least. For example
the city scenes where 'Zilla is demolishing buildings, they built a model
city with buildings approximately 3-4' high, and then they have a huge
fan blowing on the area where Zilla is walking and they sprinkle dust
in front of the fan so when the building(s) collapse it sort of gives it
that dry wall dust effect.

Ocean scenes are in a huge pool with a blue background so they can dub over whatever they wish for it, like a tv weather person on the news. Was sorta
