    There are hundreds of movies that I saw as a kid on TV that were amazing. I love most of the spaghetti westerns especially For a Fistful of Dollars.

    Cool Hand Luke
    One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
    North by Northwest
    Ryan's Daughter

    and a film that completely enthralled me when I first saw it...
    12 angry men.

    These are just a few that immediately came to mind.

    On the Waterfront is one of my all time favorites. Saw it in Germany at age 13, in German, but didnt speak the language, and all I could think was that I wanted to see it as soon as I got back to the States. Also, 12 Angry Men, Fail Safe, and of course, any of the old Godzilla movies, lol.

    jimmy stewart is pretty much the greatest, especially mr. smith goes to washington and philadelphia story (cary grant and katherine hepburn too!)
    i also love to kill a mockingbird with gregory peck, roman holiday, breakfast at tiffany's, 12 angry men, the apartment (jack lemmon!) and many others
    also, charlie chaplain makes my life worth living... i love "the kid"

    Chinatown.

    It is by far one of my favorite films of all time. I am always equally engaged every time i see it.

    I suppose the two that come the closest are Taxidriver and Dr. Strangelove.

    Wow, I never knew thre was a movie. I'll hve to look it up cos the book is sheer brilliance.

    BTW, has anybody seen 'Steppenwolf' the movie. I think it may have been made in the 60's. I'd be interested to here a little about it, cos the book is my favourite of all time.
