    A little film noir....

    Shadow of a Doubt 1943 directed by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Teresa Wright (Yum Yum). Macdonald Carey and Joseph Cotton.


    FYI, Teresa Wright was also in The Best Years of Our Lives (1946).


    Also, The Third Man 1949 with Orson Welles and Joseph Cotten; directed by Carol Reed.

    Double Indemnity 1944 directed by Billy Wilder. Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck, and Edward G. Robinson

    The Maltese Falcon 1941 directed by John Huston in his directorial debut. Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, Ward Bond. The Fat Man hires the gunsel to try to steal the dingus, that is, "The, uh, stuff that dreams are made of".

    Not exactly noir, but Treasure of the Sierra Madre 1948 directed by John Huston. Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston, Tim Holt. and Alfonso Bedoya, who doesn't need no stinking badges.

    RXDawg. pick most any John Hughes movie from the 80s and it might represent the decade. Really though I have little clue what high school years were like in the 80s, Hughes may have just made shiit up.

    George Lucas wrote and directed American Graffiti, it was based on his experiences in Southern California in the 60s.

    The guy who wrote and directed Dazed And Confused went to high school in East Texas in the 70s if I recall correctly. .He was also a QB, guess which character was based on him. The movie could have been about Cedartown Ga. from that period.

    Two that I don't believe have been mentioned but are IMO quite worthy.

    Little Big Man.

    Last Picture Show.

    Both have held up very well.

    I just LOVED little big man - especially chief dan George. “Some days the magic works, some days it don’t”.or something like that.

  • DamnYankeeDawgDamnYankeeDawg Posts: 1,154 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    Band of Brothers - I know it's not a movie but one of the best war series ever made

    Anything Humphrey Bogart

    The Verdict

    Patton

    Full Metal Jacket
    Goodfellas
    Shawshank Redemption..will get to this after my list..
    Saving Private Ryan
    Crank and Crank 2
    The Godfather 1 &2
    The Castle(1997 Australian comedy)

    On the Shawshank Redemption..being the 25th anniversary of the release, they are doing a big thing at the Ohio State Reformatory where the movie was filmed. I got to tour the prison and the some of the bigger sites in the movie, like where Brooks carved his name just before he hung himself and the rock wall and tree where Red got the box Andy left for him. Sadly, the oak tree is no longer there as it was damaged by a storm. Got to see it just before the storm came through.

    Shawshank stands alone at my top but I don’t think I’ve seen mention of Glory!  A fairly unknown Morgan Freeman, Matthew Broderick, and a new actor Denzel something?!!!  That Denzel guy won best supporting actor among the 3 Academy awards.  Last scene filmed on Jekyll Island before it was en vogue to film in GA.

    If the WLOCP ever gets to a home-away set up, stop by Micanopy, FL (about 15 minutes from UF) and see the town where Doc Hollywood was filmed. Kind of neat.

    Watched the finding Sugar movie, really documentary, last night. It was a really neat story. I gota say I think they should of edited it down some, especially in the beginning. I almost didn't finish it because it took a while to get going. That said, I'm glad I did. Fascinating true story.


    To think that a musician makes a couple of albums, doesn't really make a career out of it, goes on to a life working construction. Then he unknowingly becomes the greatest artist ever in an isolated country, and finds out about when he's an older man. That's just wild.
