    it was the first time I'd seen an audience applaud the name of the cinematographer.


    Freddie Young. Was his name. Everybody clap now.

    I should probably see Jules and Jim again. BUT I HATED IT SO MUCH the first few times, there's probably no point.

    Big Trouble in Little China!
    I used to get scared when they were hiding in that shops basement to get away from the mad gangster samurai battle raging in the middle of the street outside.
    I'm pretty sure the movie is a comedy though... I am definately going to have to check that one out again.

    I recently watched the Director's Cut of Blade Runner and it was great. I couldn't finish watching it when I was younger because I was freaked out by Tyrell's death.

    I joined an online movie service and queued up a few I've seen but distantly remember. The Bridge on the River Kwai, Brazil, Citizen Kane. Will have to add more, much more.

    Off the top of my head...

    1) Seven Samurai
    2) Big Trouble in Little China. (good call, Sheen)
    3) My Name is Nobody
    4) Green Slime
    5) Alien

    There are some movies that a great to watch when you are older with a young sibling/cousin/nephew/whatever.

    The Sandlot is one of those movies for me, which I have watched fairly recently with my young nephew and he loved it. Not sure if that movie resonates with people the same way outside the States though.

    Star Wars is the perfect example. I don't uch care for the prequels, but my nephew watched all of Star Wars in order Ep 1-6 for the first time about a year ago now and fell in love with it. Watching that with him as he saw it all for the first time was great.

    For-Ev-Er, For-Ev-Er... Sandlot, definitely.

    And as far as Star Wars went, I always wondered what it would be like (for people) to see Episode IV for the first time, after watching how he got in the suit.

    I really should watch 2001 and Close Encounters of the Third Kind again. I watched them with my dad on the weekend of my 5th (?) birthday, along with whatever Superman film has some woman being turned into a robot. I recall being TERRFIED by all of them (I was kind of a sensitive kid, had a lot of trouble differentiating between sci fi and horror), especially the bit in 2001 where HAL is singing Daisy Daisy, and the bit in Close Encounters where the kid's toys all suddenly spring to life.

    I'm assured by people that they're not horror movies and I remember them wrong...

    I agree with Big Trouble! I saw a clip online and went and watched it. Kurt Russel has quite a few. I'm on board for any viewing of 2001, I was lucky enough to see it in 70mm. wow.
    Double Indemnity is what I thought when I saw this thread, My Man Godfrey too. Bullitt, the shot in his apartment grabbed me.

    I rewatched Close Encounters earlier this year, and was aghast at what a boring film it actually is.
  12.  (5876.72)
    I never could get very deep into the Godfather, parts 1 and 2 as a kid. I watched them again in the past year and they really are some of the best cinema ever.

    Oddly though, 2001 now bores the hell out of me. As a teen I was enthralled by the realism of the space sequences. In my twenties I was able to get more of the deep symbolic meaning and a whole new level of the movie opened up for me. Now, I don't know. Maybe I've been on that journey a few too many times. I should really give Solaris a try sometime.

    I was bored to tears by Fantasia in the theatre as a child. Literally.
    My sister had to take me home half way through.

    I think it's rather incredible watching it now.

    I think Legend holds up well, moreso with the Director's Cut.

    Ferris Bueller's Day Off. There's a fan theory that Ferris and Sloane are manifestations of Cameron's psychosis.

    The Third Man
    I recommend reading "The Circus of Dr. Lao" and then watching the movie - Tony Randall was professionally incredible in the film.
    Two Mules for Sister Sara
    Paint Your Wagon
    and then
    South Pacific

    I wonder if Robocop 1&2 and Total Recall are still amazing.
    They would have to be. Although I'm scared to revisit them incase they taint the perfect memories I have obsessed with those films.

    @stsparky Manhunter is an amazing film.

    Everything about it is good.

    Even the cheesy 'strong as i am' late 80's music is brilliant.

    It also features teh best use of a bath chair and a tabloid journalist ever

    It is better than all teh other Hannibal Lector movies.

    You guys might all want to watch Get Carter. British classic starring Michael Caine & John Osborne.
