Post by: smithjcsdfw on February 09, 2012, 10:00:58 am: The spagetti westerns of Clint Eastwood such as A Few Dollars More, The Good the bad and the Ugly, or just about any of the old John Wayne movies. If you want war movies try Blackhawk Down or Saving Private Benjamin. Science Fiction movies the Star Trek movies or Star Wars. Romantic movies Your on your own cause I just don't follow those.

Yeah, Steve McQueen is one of my favorite actors. The Great Escape is a fantastic movie.
My favorite classic movie is Ben Hur, with Charlton heston, but it is very long, almost 4 hours, so I don't know if you'd be interested in that. A couple of good westerns are The Magnificent Seven (Steve McQueen), and High Noon (Gary Cooper).

Post by: kapeh12 on February 10, 2012, 10:14:48 am: I'd recommend "Murder By Death" - classic mystery/comedy

I second the "Arsenic & Old Lace" from above.

Also, "The Princess Bride"

And "The Sting" - classic Paul Neuman/Robert Redford con flick. Lots o' fun.

As a geek, I highly recommend the original Star Wars trilogy (not the remastered ones from the 90's), and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"
