Let's recommend some movies

I suggest Memento. It's a super film that really sucks you in scene to scene. Anyone else ever seen it?

Agreed. But it's been a while.

I just saw "A Star is Born". It is a wonderful movie, and Lady Gaga is awesome. My wife wanted to see it and I wasn't all that thrilled about going, but it was really good.

I'm looking forward to seeing Clint's new move, The Mule. Has anyone seen it yet?

Personally I thought Dunkirk was boring. The Darkest Hour was excellent.

My fav movie of all time is without question Inherit The Wind. It was remade a few different times, but the 1963 version with Spencer Tracy, Fredrick March, and Gene Kelly is by far the best version. Well worth the time to check it out.

Also, Clint's "Trouble with The Curve" was a very good movie and even better for a baseball fan.

Some of these movies have been mentioned in this thread (several times), so pardon me for reprising them. The one difference between me and most of you
is that I'm old enough to have seen these movies in the theatre when they were originally shown. And of course, I've seen them on the TV many times since.

Anyhow, here are my recommendations......

Casablanca
The Robe
On The Waterfront
Vertigo
North by Northwest
Guns of Navarone
The Great Escape
Dr. Strangelove....especially this one, since I was in the Air Force on a B52 Bomber base when it was in the theatre in 1964
The Sting
Jaws
The Verdict
Absence of Malice

WESTERNS

Ox Bow Incident
High Noon
Shane
Johnny Guitar
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

BASEBALL

Pride of the Yankees
The Natural
The Stratton Story....Monte Stratton pitched for the Chicago White Sox (1934-1938). Jimmy Stewart portrays him in this Academy Award movie (Best original story).

PS-- If you want a baseball movie, that perhaps will make ya feel as a kid again, I've become very fond of Safe at Home!, with great co-stars Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle.
