Deville. Lonesome Dove lst came on when I was at UGA. We had watching parties. Still watch it on the western channel sometimes
Edit: auto correct can make you look **** sometimes. Smart phones aren't really
A Few Good Men has been mentioned quite a bit and it's one of my favorites. Dont care much for Cruse anymore though.

I neglected to mention some older stuff I like a lot:
Laura:great film noir. Highly recommend
Anything Hitchcock: The 39 Steps, and if you haven't actually watched Psycho you're missing out. I love Rear Window: Grace Kelly puts just about any modern movie actress to shame. So many modern directors owe much to the guy.
Gone With The Wind: you know a movie based on a book is well done when the actors cast BECOME the characters in your mind: try reading a chapter of GWTW and NOT seeing Gable and Leigh playing Rhett and Scarlett.
The Best Years of Our Lives: a post WW2 movie about veterans struggling to adjust to civilian life back in the states. Pretty groundbreaking stuff for the 40s and while it's a little dated like any movie from that era, the themes hold up and acting is great. They cast a real vet who had lost his hands in an accident to portray a young guy having to learn to live with hooks for hands.
The Sting: I mean, Newman and Redford
Giant: truly epic and though I only knew her as the weird old lady who wore a bunch of jewelry, Liz Taylor was something back then. One of James Dean's few appearances. Also interesting to watch Rock Hudson knowing what we do now.
Oh, and speaking of older movies: if you're like me and basically only knew Marlon Brando as the overweight, mumbly old guy in Apocalypse Now and The Godfather, watch A Streetcar Named Desire or On The Waterfront. Both good flicks and makes it more understandable why he was a big deal.
