The Hidden Fortress
I watched it again yesterday and it was still entertaining, after what must have been my 10th viewing (at least). It was Kurosawa's first widescreen film and he nailed it. Its funny, full of action and has enough emotion to tie everything together. Besides the obvious influences to Star Wars, you'll also see parts of the movie in some of Sergio Leone's films. I always seem to add Japanese cinema to these threads when nobody else does. Classic foreign films have been far more influential on me than Hollywood's. ETA - Of course someone had to mention Seven Samurai as I was typing up my post...  |

any of the Frank Capra directed movies are great
my favorite Humphrey Bogart movie - the Treasure of the Sierra Madre It Happened One Night - very early Clark Gable Jimmy Stewart movies - especially the films directed by Alfred Hitchcock Stagecoach - one of John Wayne's earliest and greatest westerns |

Alfred Hitchcock's - Rope
Good story, quintessential Hitchcock Watch the cinematography, almost the entire thing was shot in single continuous shots with very few cuts or transitions (usually when the film canister ran out). Also by Hitchcock, Dial M for Murder Strangers on a Train is also good Panic in the Year Zero is a must see (complete movie available on YouTube) |

And, a few lesser-known favorites:
Brief Encounter A story of unrequited love, superbly acted, with beautiful cinematography. The Asphalt Jungle Suspenseful story of a jewel hoist gone awry. Cameos by Marilyn Monroe only add to the charm. Some Like It Hot Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon are musicians on the run from gangsters who dress in drag and join Marilyn Monroe's all-girl band. Silly and delightful. Gun Crazy "Two disturbed young people release their fascination with guns through a crime spree" says TCM. Peggy Cummins smolders as the gun doll. The More the Merrier A charming farce, featuring the gorgeous Jean Arthur at her best. Gilda The script in this film noir matters less than the sultry performance of Rita Hayworth. Captivating! Shadow of a Doubt Teresa Wright as a young woman who fears her uncle Joseph Cotton is the Merry Widow Killer. Hitchcock's direction is superb. The Best Years of Our Lives To my mind, the finest movie ever made in Hollywood. Three returning veterans struggle to readjust to civilian life, beautifully acted by Frederic March, Dana Andrews, and Harold Russell (who was actually wounded in combat). Myrna Loy and Virginia Mayo are luminous, and you can't help but fall in love with Teresa Wright. Don't miss this one. |

My wife read up on Cary Grant the other night.
Pull up a close up pic of his face. It seems that he got a tooth knocked out early on, and a dental school kind of just pushed them together somehow. He has one tooth right in the middle, but hardly anyone ever noticed. Eta:
