Being the old film buff that I am I always enjoy watching a repeat screening of my favorite films. Here is two to start:
"SHOES OF THE FISHERMAN" starring Anthony Quinn, Sir Laurence Olivier,
Oskar Werner and David Janseen.
Wonderful drama as Quinn playing the 1st Russian Pope. Inspired!
"12 O'CLOCK HIGH" starring Gregory Peck, Dean Jagger and Gary Merril
My wife and I have lost count on how many times we sit down and end up watching this great drama. Always great viewing!

Oh MAN! Too many to name.
One of my favorite old-time comedies is FATHER GOOSE, starring Carey Grant and Leslie Caron.
There are so many great lines in that movie:
Frank: Walter? Are you there, Walter? I have the chaplain, I thought it might be a comfort if he said a few words.
Walter: Never mind the chaplain, Frank. She's alive! The snake's dead!
Stebbings: Mother Goose is requesting a chaplain.
Frank: A chaplain? Good heavens, he's killed her.
Stebbings: No, sir. They want to get married.
Frank: Married?! Goody Two-Shoes and the Filthy Beast?

*SF*
Star Wars IV A New Hope:No need to explain. It's "STAR WARS"! You know it, isn't it?

*Western*
The Magnificent Seven:As I said before in another thread, this is special movie to me. Even now I remember some dialogues.

"KHARTOUM" Charlton Heston And Laurence Olivier. More timely now in view in what is happening in the Mid East. Excellent motion picture!
"THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA" Spencer Tracy The only movie of his works Hemmingway liked.
"WRECK OF THE MARY DEARE" The only time Gary Cooper and Charlton Heston worked togeather in this first rate mystery. With Richard Harris, Michael Redgrave and Virginia McKenna.
"200 MOTELS" Frank Zappa's landmark rock film was the first time a movie was shot on video then transferred to film. With Flo and Eddie, Ringo Starr and Theodore Bikel.
"ZULU" Stanley Baker and Michael Caine in this great historical drama.
"SON OF DRACULA" Granted that Lon Chaney jr wasn't really good as Count ALUCARD but the script was superior taking on an almost Shakespearian pathos about love and obsession. Great supporting cast.

The Thing
Total Recall
Die Hard
I used to watch the last two every day as I washed the dishes in the kitchen. I hated washing dishes so much it would literally take me 2 hours. I developed this awful itching on my calves too that would clear up as soon as I'd rinsed off the last dish.

They passed an old woman who was just opening the door of a brown Cadillac. An old man was already sitting in the passenger seat. The car had a personalized plate with the letters “J-U-S-P-R-A-Y”.
“That stuff work?” Israel said to her.
“‘Scuse me?” the little old woman said, clutching her keys.
“The spray. Does it keep them away?”
“Keep who away?” She looked confused.
“I gotcha.” Israel gave her a conspiratorial wink.
