That movie gives me the creeps. Even the song "Duelling Banjos" makes my skin crawl.

I've thought of five more movies that should have been on my "favorites" list:

Titanic
The Poseidon Adventure
Hombre
The Hustler
The Towering Inferno

I really liked all the movies Paul Newman made, but the last three listed above were my favorites. In my opinion, Paul Newman was America's greatest actor. Although he is still with us, it's so sad that we can't look forward to the release of a new Paul Newman movie these days.

Which Lolita did you see? The original from 1962 with James Mason and Shelly Winters is one of my favs.

Yes, the Kubrick on of course!!! They really ruined a classic by remaking the Lolita, a few years back. You must have a great taste in films!!

Phew, there is hope for you yet. That movie is absolutely creepy, and brilliant of course.

Kubrick was a genius!! I love his sense of humor, James Mason is brilliant in the film!!!!

What is 400 Blows? Never heard of it. Nice list otherwise. Particularly The Sting.

It's a french flim by François Truffaut, it's an amazing new wave film, you should really check it out. you like the list? which films have you seen?

I've seen all of them other than 400 Blows and Suspiria. I guess my favorite French film is Le Femme Nikita, which was far better than the watered down American version with Bridget Fonda.

And yes the orginal la femme nikita is the best, Its sad when people try to remake good movies. So you have seen happiness?? If so Im very impressed, what do you think of that movie?

Yeah, Ive seen Happiness. I was drawn to it because of Phillip Seymour Hoffman who has become one of my favorites. It was a bit disturbing at times, but in a good way if that makes any sense. Disturbing can be part of some realy good movies, like The Pledge or One Hour Photo.

Yeah alot of people think its very sick, but I like the black humor. i agree a movie like that makes you think, as long as you know it can be distrubing at times, it's ok!
