Added plenty to my "to watch" list for the Christmas break from reading here!

I love Saving Mr Banks, Midnight in Paris, Educating Rita, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, and I love Miyazaki films since my niece introduced me to them.

Am I right in thinking that this is probably our longest-lived thread, having begun three years ago, in November 2016?

The Scent of a Woman (especially the Tango scene)
Strictly Ballroom (for the pasa doble at the end)
Top Hat
Lawrence of Arabia
Destry Rides Again
Cat Ballou
Stage Coach
The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser
Kurasowa films
Fellini films
Les Demoiselles de Rochefort
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
Monsieur Hulot's Holiday
Kwaidan (Japanese ghost stories)
Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf
The Big Country
The Thin Man (Myrna Loy and William Powell and Asta)
Most of Hitchcock's films
Bringing up Baby

Some of the above I saw several times whilst working at the Cameo Poly in Regent Street and it specialised in foreign films.

I've just re-read all the suggestions so I'd add about 90% of them to my list. I can't think of one film I'd place above all others.
