My mom used to love Dr. Zhovago

Some like it hot and High Noon. Never tire of them.

More recent but still very good:-

The Shawshank Redemption
Awakenings
The Dead Zone
The Green Mile
Stand by Me
Rain Man
Men in Black
Ghost Busters (the first film)
Groundhog Day

One of my favourites was Camelot, with Richard Harris and Vanessa Redgrave. The music is wonderful and the acting very moving.
Also loved The Dollmaker with a young Jane Fonda. It is very touching and I cried so much, but it is a great film.
Also loved The Omega Man with Charlton Heston, it was the B movie, as the main film was Blazing Saddles, but I enjoyed it far more.
The World According to Garp, an early Robin Williams film, is also excellent.

After watching The Omega Man I couldn’t go outside into the garden after dark for years*.There have been several versions of the film but, imo the Charlton Heston one is the best.
*because of that I have never watched Blair Witch Project!

Recently, I've laughed myself silly watching Peter Sellars in the old Pink Panther films .
But I recall just how cruel he could be to his family .
I wish that I didn't know .

I never heard that! I loved the movie The Bishops Wife, and some others that he’s in. What is his story?

Sorry, had a brain fart. I was thinking of David Niven

But what is the story of Peter Sellsrs?

It's well documented that Pter Sellers was devoted to his mother,but cruel and vindictive towards his wives and children .
I believe that Britt Ekland had a particularly bad time with him .
He was also nasty to film crews and difficult to work with .
I think that he cut his children out of his will and left his estate to his last wife Lynn Frederick .
I always really liked him .
One of my friends did brilliant impressions of him .
Peter Sellers was a deeply flawed person .
I enjoy his films ,but would rather have not have known.

Ok, I just read all about him. I never knew that. You would think he’d be so fun to be around. Too bad for the people he hurt.

Was posting on a music game thread and remembered, The Way We Were. Love it!

Any one remember Ryan's Daughter?

I’ve got the dvd because it was filmed in one of the areas of Ireland I used to visit.
