I never saw any of George Raft's films at Paramount, and while he's not the acting legend that Cagney, Tracy, Fonda, Bogey, etc. were, I always enjoyed watching him on screen. Are any of his stuff from Paramount out on DVD or Blu-Ray?

From that list, only RYAN'S DAUGHTER, FIVE EASY PIECES and I NEVER SANG FOR MY FATHER really impressed me. It's probably blasphemous to admit this, but I never got into PATTON or MASH. ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER, well let's just say I'm not the biggest Barbra Streisand fan. Cinema-wise, 1970 was probably the weakest year for me as far as the films that were released that year goes.

He was more the principal rather than a teacher but Joe Clark (Morgan Freeman) in 1989's LEAN ON ME knew how to whip the students into shape, while exercising compassion as well as discipline, that made all the difference.

I so agree with you on Cagney, regardless of the movie's quality, his presence on screen always kept me glued to the screen.

Cameron Mitchell doesn't seem to get mentioned a whole lot. He was the good guy that Doris Day SHOULD have married in LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME. (SPOILERS AHEAD) Although to be fair she did realize that in the end and left Marty (James Cagney) to get together with Mitchell. He was also Marius in the 1952 version of LES MISERABLES. Though I prefer the 1935 version by a long shot, I think Mitchell actually did quite well in the role.

I also enjoy the 1985 comedy CLUE, Tim Curry is so hilarious in that one. (Of course he then went on to terrify me later on in the TV mini-series of STEPHEN KING'S IT!!!).

I haven't been on here myself for a LONG while, but now I am back.

Hey, I love THE SOUND OF MUSIC! And I'm not ashamed to admit it. And I don't think I have bad taste for that. The only thing that surprised me was that at least a few good old movies made the list. A pleasant surprise.

I don't know if I'd consider any one movie the 'greatest' of all time.....certainly there are many worthy candidates....THE GODFATHER, CASABLANCA, GONE WITH THE WIND, and of course CITIZEN KANE. I guess it depends on how passionate one feels about a certain film. I have to admit I am fickle, I change my mind all the time about what movie I think is really the best, with the aforementioned and with other films.

I was never a fan of AIRPLANE or THE NAKED GUN movies, sorry to say. But I do love films with silly slapstick and some good old wackiness. BRINGING UP BABY, SOME LIKE IT HOT and IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD are more my style.

Have to disagree big time on this....there is only one Rhett Butler for me, and that is Clark Gable. Dalton was nowhere near as charismatic as Gable. Loved Sean Connery as Indy's dad in INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE. Daniel Craig played a brilliant, psychotic if cowardly weasel in ROAD TO PERDITION. I'll cut Dalton some slack, I did think he did a fine turn in THE LION IN WINTER.
