Three Gregory Peck movies, Yellow Sky, The Gunfighter, and 12 Oclock High.
Alan Ladd in Shane and This Gun For Hire.
Rawhide and Witness for the Prosecution with Tyrone Power.
On The Waterfront with Marlon Brando.
Anatomy of a Murder with Jimmy Stewart
Zorba the Greek with Anthony Quinn
Attack with Jack Palance and Eddie Albert
So many good old movies from the Hollywood movie factories. Not nearly so many today.

On The Waterfront with Marlon Brando.
Great acting by Brando in that movie. Best scene: Charlie : Look, kid, I - how much you weigh, son? When you weighed one hundred and sixty-eight pounds you were beautiful. You coulda been another Billy Conn, and that skunk we got you for a manager, he brought you along too fast.
Terry : It wasn't him, Charley, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, "Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson." You remember that? "This ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Charley, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money.
Charlie : Oh I had some bets down for you. You saw some money.
Terry : You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charley.

There are a few things about old movies that don't play well in these enlightened times.
There are no interracial couples, there are no angry black supervisors, old movies falsely show crimes being solved without computers and the transsexual geeks to operate them, old movies don't show women as having martial arts skills to shame Chuck Norris, old movies never show women who can outshoot Jerry Miculek, old movies do not show that any woman driver would shame AJ Foyt. Old movies do not give women enough credit, period. In a bout of insomnia recently, I reviewed the 10 top movies on Netflix...yup, 7 of 10 were female lead roles. The last few years, judging by movie releases, it has become apparent to me, that women pretty much won World War II. We wrongly grew up thinking Ike and Winston had something to do with it, with some help of course. Little did we know, back then.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

"Joe" (1970).
It's very wild and fun to watch, but a lot of younger people WON'T "get it".
This because the younger people think and act like the hippies in the film; and therefore don't see the humor!

I recorded "The Best Years of Our Lives" from TCM on Veteran's Day and watched it yesterday. It had been a while since I last watched it. What a great movie!! A friend, in his final writings while dying from cancer proclaimed “‘The Best Years of Our Lives’ the greatest film ever made. I have intended to find a copy and watch it for over 10 years now.

Zulu 1964 - saw it first run as a kid with my friends in England, might have been the first color movie I ever saw. Kids would roam all over back then and no one thought anything of it. Last of the Mohicans - the 1992 version - 28 years ago already  Ride With the Devil - 1999 - my favorite War Over Secession movie.
