Your favorite classic movies?

I just finished watching this movie. One of Hitchcock's best. Great actor's well-done story. A murder mystery with Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck.
I had forgotten how good this film is. The story will take a while to get started but it is worth watching from beginning to end.

A question: Is there a movie made in the 1990s decade and on into the present that anyone here would consider a classic?

Yes. Goodfellas.

Glad you mention Spellbound. It is a great mystery thriller by the master. Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman couldn't be better. So many great scenes , the dream sequence, the pistol pointed a the camera. Spellbound is a must see for Hitchcock fans.

I have been watching a movie called The Southerner. Fine well made movie. I believe it will fit the classic category.

I looked for it and couldn't find it.

I remember it from when I was a kid. Not a big budget film; just very very good imo.

Yes it was.

The whole story summed up the provincial snobbishness of the colonial British.

India previous to the British assuming administration for the local nobility was worse off. Without the British 'colonialism' it would never have united as a country. The English legacy is still strong in its govt., legal system, and culture, so apparently many Indians don't regard them in a negative light even today. It's just fashionable to snivel about 'white western colonialism' and ignore what the previous mayhem and savagery was like under 'native' rule.

The Unforgiven, 1992 with Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, and Morgan Freeman.

Malcolm X, one of Denzel Washington's best performances imo.

Schindler's List

Forrest Gump

Shawshank Redemption

Silence of the Lambs

All 1990's, I think.

That’s true. There’s a former colony l visit frequently, in which they’d still be riding around on donkeys, if it were not for the British.

l was merely pointing out the parochialism of the Home Counties English.

The English colonies' post-colonial evolutions seemed to have fared better on average than the French and Spanish colonies did in the aftermath, especially the African disasters.

My grandfather thought that if it weren't for that nutjob Santa Anna Texas would have fared better under Spanish rule than it did as an American state, so my opinion isn't universal even in my own family. 'Independence' was bad for Mexico, though, same for Cuba..

One former English Colony seems to have done remarkably well....until Biden. Oz is doing OK as well.

Just saying!!!
