Raylan Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Old Yeller, Marley and Me, Up, Glory, Schindler's List......any people would add.....
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Watched "Cactus Flower" two nights ago; Walter Matthau, Ingrid Bergman, and Goldie Hawn-- her first movie and she won an Academy Award award for it. Hadn't seen it since it came out in 1969. I haven't laughed that hard in a long, long time! It fits your bill.
J-BAR #18287 Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Raylan, your examples are not quite what I expected from your thread’s title! I enjoyed the new Netflix offering, “The Dig”, based on a true story and showing Voldemort in a different role. ”Darkest Hour”, the early days of Churchill in WWII, never gets old. ”Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” with Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell might be uplifting if I were a few years younger. I think “The Homesman” or “Hostiles” would fit in your list of examples. I watched them once, don’t expect to again.
WD Farren Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Some Like It Hot.. a perennial favorite in our house.
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 The Upside with Kevin Hart. Hacksaw Ridge with Andrew Garfield.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 The Odd Couple with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemon
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 The Queens Gambit is a great series to binge watch over two nights. The first episode is kind of dark, but the finale is 60 of the best movie minutes made in recent memory.
Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 "The Next Voice You Hear"...starring James Whitmore, and Nancy Davis (you know her...she became the first lady, when she married Ronald Reagan). Very intriguing story, and also a snap-shot of how America was, back in the late 40's, and early 50's. That alone will make you cry. Better times, on a lot of levels. "Blood on the Moon"...starring Robert Mitchum, Walter Brennan, Robert Preston, Barbara Bel Geddes, Tom Tully. Great, lessor known, western. "Ghost Breakers"....starring Bob Hope, Willie Best, Paulette Goddard, Anthony Quinn, Richard Carlson. Comedy/light horror. Tons more...but there is not enough room. W.K.
Warden Callaway Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Rear Window. James Stuart and Grace Kelly. We watched this some 40 years ago when the sons would rather watched cartoons. Oh how they complained. Slowly they got caught up in it and was on the edge of their seats before it was over.
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 I just finished watching, "Master & Commander The Far Side of the World" on Amazon prime. Russell Crow plays Captain Jack Aubrey.
Warden Callaway Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 His Girl Friday. Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. Note how fast they exchange dialogue. It's like a two hour movie compresses into an hour and a half.
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Two of my favorites: Clint Eastwood in 'Every Which Way But Loose' Clint Eastwood: 'Any Which Way You Can'. ..........Widder
DeaconKC Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 The Mummy with Brandon Fraser and Rachel Weisz Hotel Transylvania, any of the three are fun movies
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 38 minutes ago, Warden Callaway said: Here is a fun one. Jack Lemmon. Any Jack Lemmon comedy is a good choice. To me, Lemmon reached the peak of 'everyman' romantic comedies. The Apartment. Good Neighbor Sam. Under the Yum Yum Tree. Of course "Some Like it Hot", one of the greatest comedies of all time. Many more. I watched The Taking of Pelham One Two Three last night, the 1974 version with Matthau, Robert Shaw, Martin Balsam. A good '70s thriller.
Red Eye Jim Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 And here I thought I was going to find a good list of great Westerns.... Personally, I say watch McLintock!..

As an adjunct to this list I might add 2014's "Fury." 'Twasn't exactly the most uplifting war movie I've seen....

Chickamauga Slim Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 I can't believe no one has mentioned Second Hand Lions. One of my favorites.
