The Fifth Element (1997)

Does it have to be serious? There are a ton of great comedies or dramadies.

• Cool Hand Luke
• Rebel Without a Cause
• Hard Days Night (this is terrible and great, you still have to see it)
• Psycho
• Forest Gump
• Star Wars
• Raiders of the Lost Ark
• Local Hero
• Rocky Horror Picture Show
• Joe vs the Volcano (it might be too on the nose right now)
• Life of Brian or The Holy Grail by Monty Python
• Highlander (just to see Sean Connery be a Spaniard)
• So I married an Ax Murderer and Wayne's World
• The Game
• The Terminator
• Bull Durham

Here’s my favourite films of all time:

• Nosferatu
• The Maltese Falcon
• Vertigo
• Little Shop of Horrors
• The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
• Videodrome
• Blade Runner
• Wild at Heart
• Drive
• Destroyer

The Princess Bride, in case you and your wife haven't seen it.

• Apocalypse Now
• 2001: A Space Odyssey
• The Shining

How versed are you all in animated movies?

One that may be less watched by younger generations but is still a classic could be the original Fantasia movie. Beautiful film set entirely to music, and where Mickey Mouse drawn in an oversized wizard costume comes from.

Speaking of English as a second language, don't forget Billy Wilder, who made a lot of great films, mostly comedies, but certainly all comedic.

• Ball of Fire (as writer)
• Double Indemnity
• Some Like It Hot
• Sunset Boulevard
• Sabrina
• Stalag 17

Others I'm forgetting ...

Bringing Up Baby (Howard Hawks) ain't bad neither. And it's got a kitty!

It’s usually the one I’ve watched recently. I’ve been quoting Annie Hall all week, it’s living in my head. Definitely worth a watch with the other half.

If you’re a Simon and Garfunkel fan, The Graduate. The original song was Hello Mrs Roosevelt but the director particularly liked that song and convinced them to change it to Hello Mrs Robinson for the movie.

Goodfellas, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ikiru, Jaws, Pulp Fiction

Death race 2000

Unholy rollers

Attack of the killer tomatoes

Ilsa She Wolf of the SS

Coffee

The thing

The fly

Maximum Overdrive

Hell in frogtown

• Ben Hur
• Logan's Run
• Time After Time

As a fan of animated films, some of my top picks are:

• An American Tail/Fivel Goes West

• The Land Before Time (the first one)

• The Secret of NIHM

• Robin Hood (you can guess which one, given my other answers)

• The original 1984 (love that film, not animated but still pretty good)

• Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

Don't know if any of these fit the bill, but I still personally stand by them due to nostalgia for the first 3 and just how much I like the remaining 2 movies.

12 angry men To kill a mockingbird

Casablanca.

Someone already mentioned, so I will second it: Double Indemnity. It's damn good!

Stay (2005)

Weird, and heartbreaking

The Third Man, a noir tale about a dime store novelist trailing his smuggler friend, the soundtrack is its own character.

For more noir check out the opening scene from Touch of Evil

Alien

Midnight Run (1988)
