Ernest Hemmingways The Killers 1946 introducing in his first screen role Burt Lancaster as Swede. Ava Gardner smolders.
Though those who have seen it know it as a great film, I would say that Paths of Glory is underrated because it isn't nearly as well known as other Kubrick films. But it is one of his finest in my opinion.
I like the Lee Marvin and John Cassavetes version better, but that is another good one.
William Wyler's The Big Country 1958 exceptional picture and cast. Standout performances from Burl Ives, Chuck Connors, The Big Muddy and Old Thunder. If you decide to see the picture you shall know why Burl Ives received the Oscar for best supporting actor.
Yes very good version too....but no smoldering.
It happened one night 1934, Clarke Gable and Claudette Corbett.
Paths of Glory, I agree my friend great Picture.
Great score
The Smallest Show on Earth 1957, Peter Sellers and a great British cast. Sellers gives you a taste of his genuis
I can hear it now, Jerome Moross at his very best.
Some Like it Hot 1959 Tony Curtis is a beauty, by the end of the picture Jack Lemmon was getting there too.
Heaven Knows Mr Allison 1957, Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr.
The Tall Men...1955 Western, Starring Clark Gable, Cameron Mitchell, Robert Ryan and Jane Russell. Gable should have made more Westerns

Harvey 1950, James Stewart. I have seen Harvey.in the flesh.
The Naked Prey 1965 Cornel Wilde, saw the Picture as a child and it got me, must see it again to be sure.
Death Hunt 1981 Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin, my kind of Picture.
The Fastest Gun Alive 1956 Glenn Ford, Broderick Crawford and a fine cast. I grew up believing Glenn Ford was, it turns out he was the fastest in Hollywood.
I thought I was fast too, I could outdraw my three brothers everyday. In reality I was and still am merely a legend in my own bath time,

Elmer Gantry 1960, Burt Lancaster at his best.
The Straight Story 1999, Robert Farnsworth, Harry Dean Stanton and Sissy Spacek. A touching and memorable journey from David Lynch. Farnsworth was nominated for the Oscar but was up against Russell Crowe...Gladiator.
