I always though "Imitation of Life" was pretty good.

To Have and Have Not - one of my favorite Bogart movies.

(If you can't tell, I like war movies... )

You forgot "The Dirty Dozen"! I'd add "Kelly's Heroes" but it was 1970. ("DD" had 302; "KH" had 511.)

The added numbers are the number of muzzle flashes in each rated movie; "n/r" means I haven't rated it.

(+1000 for "Forbidden Planet", Orguss)

flashguy

So many.

Here's one in particular that I don't see mentioned: The Agony and the Ecstasy

Has everything. Drama, comedy, romance, cinematography, bromance, nagging...
