All About Eve
Steel Magnolias
West Side Story
Citizen Kane
Mister Roberts
A Few Good Men
Remember the Titans
The Princess Bride
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

One that's very well made, but extremely distressing
A Time to Kill

My youngest son is 10 and he was told about the guy at the end that hit the propeller when he dropped. Now he thinks he wants to watch it because of that. I told him there's about 2 hours of mushy stuff to watch before you get to that....he's changed his mind...

[Hentenza]

WOW! You guys are listing some good movies. If we lived near each other we could have a fellowship movie night.

 

[WannaWitness]

There are some that I consider exceptional. One of these really stand out to me because of its ultimate message of harmony: "The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band". It's a Disney musical starring Buddy Ebsen and Walter Brennan.

 

[Albion]

Great lists! But many of these are favorites, not candidates for best ever, wouldn't you all agree?

That would be one fun movie night!

Yes...I suppose you're right....our personal favorites....

 

[Albion]

Yes...I suppose you're right....our personal favorites....

Maybe it just means that we should make up two lists: personal faves and candidates for best ever.

BTW, I am impressed at how any of you compiled such lengthy lists and remembered all of the movies you did!

Good idea MrJim

We try of possible to watch a movie or two every weekend, after all TV pretty much is disgusting which is why I took up forums.

I like many of the movies you'all have listed, some I never heard of.

I think Dances with Wolves is my all time favorite, but I have many others as well.

One many of you ahve probably never seen "The Luther movie". We bought it off e-bay have watched it at least 15 times

I love almost all movies that have nature in them, and the good Indian moves (I'm part Cherokee) and action movies in general of which Arnolds are almost always great. but he don't make them anymore Star Wars trilogy is also great but the last set was a flop I thought, too much computer generated stuff and a very losely written story. In a pinch I'll watch almost any movie, always better then TV , except nature shows, especially under water diving shows.

Facing the Giants

That one was EXCELLENT!

There are many other exclusively Christian films I've been really impressed with, such as "Late One Night", "Flywheel", "Love Note", "Pamela's Prayer", "Step Out Over The Edge", and so on.
