Lots of good films mentioned above. Some I like very much, some I loathe.
Here is a short list of my favorites:

[*]Dune ("Gods, what a monster!")

Patton ("Despicable. That's the first time anyone's applied that word to me.")

Hatari ("Momma Timbo, that means mother of elephants.")

Avatar ("There's something we gotta do. You're not gonna like it.")

Maltese Falcon ("You may have the falcon, but we certainly have you.")

Kelly's Heroes ("Will you stop crying? I haven't even ask you yet.")

They Call Me Trinity ("That sounds like blackmail." "Yeah, it does.")

Trinity is Still My Name ("What is it?" "Don't rightly know. It was flyin' around here the other day." "Looks like an eagle." "Might be.")

Back to Bataan ("We could use a little more food. Runnin' out of horse and mules.")

Eldorado ("I forgot the words, but you'd better say I do.")

Rio Bravo ("Who's Stumpy?" "A fella that likes roses.")

Star Trek The Motion Picture ("As much as you wanted the Enterprise... I want this.")

Monty Python's The Holy Grail ("You must answer me these questions three.")

Down Periscope ("I wonder if they have one in turquoise?")

Chicken Run (I've met some hard boiled chicks in my time, but you're a bout 20 minutes.")

Demolition Man ("Mmm. She's gotta way with words.")[/*]

 

[forsooth]

The Third Man

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Pee Wee's Big Adventure

The Devil in Miss Jones (I remember thinking, "This is a really, really good movie.")

Zulu Dawn

Zulu

Das Boot

I also think Jeremy Brett was a great Holmes.I met him here in Cornwall when I was an extra in the film Rebecca.He is every inch a gentleman. :puffpipe:

I'm a big fan of Akira Kurosawas samurai movies.

Any other fans here ?
Seven Samurai

Rashoman

Yojimbo

Throne of Blood
Anybody who is not familiar with Kurosawa, you owe it to yourself to track down ANY of these films. Keep an eye on TCM, they usually dedicate a whole month to his work.
