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 |

We were talking in the bar last Sat, most hadn’t watched The Long Good Friday for sometime so I’d have to say that one at the mo, with s ‘also mentioned in honours’ for 12 Angry Men. |

"Casablanca- every time..... shit I was born in the wrong decade!!"
Great film and we can both agree Ingrid Bergman looks hot - I love the tailored look of many of her outfits.

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. |

"I downloaded Casablanca, once upon a time in the west and it's a good life recently but not watched them yet."
It's a good life ? Don't know that one.
Did you mean,it's a wonderful life?
Now that is a great movie |

There are some classics I never tire of watching no matter how many times I see them - mostly films I grew up watching:
Zulu
The Great Escape
The Italian Job
Kelly's Heroes
The Dirty Dozen
Oliver!
Carry Ons
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 |

The Land that time forgot (Norfolk) |
"I'm pissed off as Red Heat is about to start on itv4 and my sky is playing up, fucking cunting Merdoch wanker bollocks!

Typical 80's buddy cop action caper with Arnie and James Belushi. Nothing special I just like naff 80's movies for nostalgia value really. |

Too often overlooked (along with Raw Deal) in favour of the likes of Terminator, Commando and Predator when it comes to Arnie films |

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 |
