I've revised and updated my list. I just finished watching Three/Four Musketeers and it is still one of my favorites. The cast is stellar, (Faye Dunaway, Oliver Reed, Charlton Heston, Michael York, Christopher Lee, Richard Chamberlain, Raquel Welch) the photography is amazing but what I really am struck by is the transition in the movies from a light Monty Pythonish comedy to a very dark and sad story that spares no one . There is no formula hollywood ending here.

See them both.....trust me.

On Golden Pond with Hepburn and Fonda
My House in Umbria with Maggie Smith and Chris Cooper
Bringing Up Baby with Hepburn and Grant
Sabrina with Bogart and Audrey Hepburn
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with Donny Osmond
The Whole Wide World with D'Onofrio
Father of the Bride with Spencer Tracy and Hepburn
Breakfast At Tiffany's with Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard
Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck
Guess Who's Coming To Dinner Hepburn and Tracy
Twelve Angry Men
Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase
Home for the Holidays with Holly Hunter and Robert Downey Jr.
The Blues Brothers with Belushi (rip)
and no matter how much my husband tries to humilate me and disparage the film, I love, love, love
Steel Magnolias(especially Ouiser and Claire. Claire buys a radio station and decides to do color commentary on the football game. She goes into the locker room and proceeds to describe the uniforms to her audience. Has cracked me up for 22 years!)
I've seen On Golden Pond more than any other movie. I love it.

Worked for me!

Thank you! That link brought up the movie playlist from Really Useful Group and I just watched the whole thing via youtube.

...my adolescent Donny crush is now back in full swing, not that it ever left.

you can whole movies on youtube?

The playlist I linked shows 5 to 15 minutes clips, but then it somehow automatically loads the next clip in proper order. So, it was a bit choppy,and had a logo over the top of the view box, but I enjoyed it anyway.

One of my favorite movies to watch on youtube is Koyaanisqatsi. Not so much for the visuals, although the message of the movie is important, but for Philp Glass' glorious soundtrack. It was uploaded "officially" by MGM, so it was done all in one swoop somehow. But I have seen videos of full concerts done in the "playlist" style.

Merry christmas Mr. Lawrence is great to be reminded of.

Yeah, it's probably first off of my list when I think of something better, but I do think it is a beautiful little film that is occasionally interrupted by some seriously fucked up things, which then take over at the end. I've never squirmed more in my chair watching a movie than in Audition, and because of this surprising reaction in me, it earns a place on my list. I've watched a lot of violence in movies, but I guess because the movie does begin as a nice tale of a guy trying to put his normal life back together in something of a normalish way, it grounds it more. Definitely more than Miike's other films I've seen where it is a bloodbath from start to finish, typically. It was also the first Miike film I saw, and may have had more of an impact because of this.

These are in no particular order, and I'm sure I've left some out.

deer of the dawn wrote:Prince of Persia

This was good? Loved the games, but read a couple of terrible reviews, so steered clear. But the movies you mention alongside recommend it to me.

The reviews for Prince of Persia were pretty "meh", but I really enjoyed it. A fun adventure, and no boobies or gratuitous violence (in other words, it's watchable for the fam). I admit to liking a lot of big-budget adventure flicks, like Indiana Jones, The Mummy, National Treasure (which was also panned), etc.; but some are definite "meh" material, like Transformers, Avatar, and all Batman movies.
