Your Most Memorable None War Film.

Agreed with some of the films mentioned earlier especially Its a wonderful Life and Bullitt. Another film worth watching is "Coogans Bluff" with Clint Eastwood or the original "get Carter" the remake wasnt a patch on the original.

Watched "Get Carter" a couple of weeks ago in the wee hours.

There are not many Clint Eastwood movies I cannot sit through.

I used to watch Rawhide for christs' sake!

 

As well as World War 2 films I was 'weaned' on musicals.
My favourite musical has to be 'Singing in the Rain'.

My favourite musical has to be Fiddler on the Roof - if I was a rich man, daba daba daba dooba dooba dooba di dumm...............:icon-mrgreenbandit:

 

Musicals??? Then "High Society", "White Christmas", "an American in Paris" and "My Fair Lady" are wonderful musicals. "Fiddler" is also one I have enjoyed!

 

A few of my favourites!

Grease

The Sound of Music

Half A Sixpence (Tommy Steele)

Good man with the Grease.. good good man. However, I'm definetly not a musical man. But, I've begun to try and culture myself and watch a couple musicals, so far with no success of enjoying them. Maybe it's like beer and is an acquired taste.

 

Or they're just absolute rubbish for which you must disengage your brain gear. Well, it worked for Gone In 60 Seconds.

After the mention of One of Our Planes is Missing, what about One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing? Now that's CLASS!

 

What about that old kids' show, "Dinosaurs"?
HILARIOUS!
"BROCCOLI!? You're doing broccoli!? I thought you would've started off with something softer, like carrots or soemthing, but BROCCOLI!?"
timeless!

 

Star Wars
The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
The Sound of Music
Grease
Saturday Night Fever
American Graffiti

Yes. "Where were you in '62?" The cop car chained by back axle to some immovable object ....:p Great music. First (?) appearance of Harrison Ford.

That reminds me - Richard Dreyfuss - even if he is in a c**p film, it's always worth watching just for him.

p.s. I think you're right Jim, AG was Ford's first proper film (he'd done loads of bit parts, mainly for TV)

 

One of the favourite films in our house that the whole family will watch, over and over is The Sound Of Music.
We will be going to Salzburg one day........(then pop over to someone's old mountain residence.)
I've done what you want to do Owen (did Salzburg and Berchtesgarden in 1994) and believe me its a trip worth taking. The place is steeped in history and Salzburg is beautiful.

 

You guys seem to have been everywhere...
Crazy people and their drugs.

 

Don't know if anyone here has seen it, but the film 'Pirrepoint' about Albert Pirrepoint is very interesting.

 

As suggested by Owen.

Eva Braun's favorite film "Gone With The Wind"

What do you think Hitlers would have been?

 

Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator"!!! LOL

Seriously though I would imagine it would be a serious and very droll film maybe "Battleship Potemkin" or something like it!

 

Which would be your most memorable none war film of the 50's - 60's - 70's (that is if you can go back that far) My choice is 'The Searchers' (1956) with John Wayne, I have it on tape and have watched it many times. Is that sad?

Can you be sadder?

Peter.

You mean I have to choice only one? "Apocalypse now". I wouldn't say it too optimistic either.
