I saw this movie as a kid and thought it was hilarious. My love for it was resurrected when I found a copy in a five dollar bin over the holidays. It is truly a classic and will keep you laughing the whole way through.

"I first saw this movie on AMC when I was about 12. I was hooked! It is a beautiful, tragic love story with heart throbs Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty as its ill-fated lovers. I have seen this movie dozens of times and it still makes me weep!"

"I saw this movie again a couple of days ago and was reminded about the pure genius of legendary Alfred Hitchcock. I think this is his best movie, although there are many to chose from. Kim Novak is just drop dead gorgeous in this which is just an added bonus."

Harakiri by Masaki Kobayashi (The Criterion Collection)

1 recommendation

"This film is so good, it's out of control. One of my favourite samurai films, it deals with, and challenges, the myth of honour among samurai. Masaki Kobayashi, who also directed the amazing film of a similar motif, Samurai Rebellion, gives us some amazing scenes in this film, using camera angles to convey the twists and turns in the story into a visual form. And it has one of the best..."

The 400 Blows by François Truffaut (The Criterion Collection edition)

1 recommendation

"The 400 Blows by François Truffaut was truly a film that opened my eyes to French New Wave and foreign films in general. I had happened upon it while flipping channels years back and it was on television, possibly on Turner Classic Movies, late at night. The film is amazing, truly a bright star amid the constellation of films. Although set in France, the character Antoine is easy to relate to..."

"For April Fool's Day, I MUST pay homage to the Kings of pranks, surprise attacks and general hilarity. Inspector Clouseau and Cato. They have fueled inspiration for many a "Cato" attack amongst my family over the years, and no one does funny better than Peter Sellers."

Essential Art House - 50 Years of Janus Films

"I have watched so many classics and they all begin by showing the emblematic head of Janus. I wondered what happened to this old film house and why the critierion collection seemed to largely come from them. Well I guess they wondered why they wern't getting credit either. Some of the most brilliant films of the 20th Century. 50 of them! Never has such a collection been put together."

"80s dystopia by gifted director Terry Gilliam and -- I always forget this until I start watching the movie -- Robert De Niro. It's a classic."

"Katherine Hepburn reprises her Broadway role in this movie, and she is a classic tour de force. In fact, they all are...Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart. The entire movie is one snarky, drunken, confused love-fest and it's fabulous! I didn't see this film until I was in my early 20's, and I was actually upset at my parents for not making me watch it sooner. Don't even bother ren..."

Sabrina

"I had forgotten how much I loved this movie until I read a post in A Taste for Good Life she summed up Sabrina as "Like Sabrina, when we strive to be the best of ourselves, instead of reaching for the moon, we are letting the moon reach for us." Sigh. And can it get any better than Bogart and Audrey Hepburn?"

Cool Hand Luke

"If not my #1 favorite, then Cool Hand Luke is def in the top 3. First, let's just talk about how hot - I mean amazing - Paul Newman is. Second, if you're someone who really isn't into "old" movies, give this one a shot. It's a timeless story and the themes are just as true today as they were then. You probably quote this movie and don't even know it. This is a story about a man who wouldn't give..."

It Happened One Night

"Director Frank Capra (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington) took home every Oscar in the book (well, okay, all the major ones) for this seminal 1934 comedy starring Clark Gable as a hard-bitten reporter who stays close to a runaway heiress (Claudette Colbert) rather than lose a good story. Funny and sexy, the film is full of memorable scenes often referred to in other films, such as the "walls of Jericho"..."
