Great movie. Ton of great lines in it.
Also about the best, most accurate description of what its like to be a man dealing with a woman I've ever heard
Charlie Anderson: It's no easy job, Sam, to take care of a woman.
Lt. Sam: No, sir.
Charlie Anderson: They expect things they never ask for. And when they don't get them, they ask you why. Sometimes they don't ask... and just go ahead and punish you for not doing something you didn't know you were supposed to do in the first place.
Also contains one of the better prayers I've ever heard.
Charlie Anderson: Lord, we cleared this land. We plowed it, sowed it, and harvest it. We cook the harvest. It wouldn't be here and we wouldn't be eating it if we hadn't done it all ourselves. We worked dog-bone hard for every crumb and morsel, but we thank you Lord just the same for the food we're about to eat, amen.
Just a movie full of great quotes

Notorious (the Cary Grant/Ingrid Bergman/Claude Rains/Hitchcock one, not the recent dreck with the same title) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041959/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041959/)
(http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BNDI2NDE3NTcyMV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwNTU5NjM2._V1._SX291_SY400_.jpg)
....You'd be hard pressed to find a movie that better combines espionage and suspense, ever. Add to that some real relationship chemistry and a subplot of redemption- and you get one of the finest movies ever made.
The Third Man
(http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTI4MDIxMDQ5OF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNTQ3NzEyMg@@._V1._SX514_SY400_.jpg)
A man shows up in post war Vienna to accept an old friend's job offer...but finds not only that his friend is dead, but that he's assumed to have been an underworld figure. No one's that interested in investigating the death, and when the man finds that there was an unknown "third man" on the scene, he starts investigating on his own. Orson Wells in his pre-whale days does a bang up job writing, acting, and directing in this one.
Touch of Evil
(http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTM1MzM0ODE2NF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMTc0OTgxMg@@._V1._SX265_SY400_.jpg)
Charlton Heston plays a respected Mexican official who's investigating corruption that crosses to the north of the border, and whose wife (Janet Leigh of Psycho fame) gets kidnapped for his trouble. Orson Welles plays the very large sherriff from the US side. Landmark movie as it's generally considered the last of the true Film Noir school, and one of the very best of them all. Also impressed by the fact that the movie both treats the Mexican character as a straight up protagonist, and that he was married to a beautiful caucasian woman. Really radically aggressive moves in the 50s!

Now there was a damn good movie. I couldn't leave my seat until it was over, and even then the ending was intense! BTW, anyone see the live action remake in 2000? (the entire movie was performed live on the east coast, then live on the west coast) Although I hate his politics, George Clooney definately knows how to entertain.

I saw the 2000 remake, good stuff.

Yeah, I thought Richard Dreyfuss did a pretty good job in the remake as the president, although he's no Henry Fonda.
I remember seeing the original as a kid and how the President's "solution" seemed so darkly "logical". I bet when it hit the theatres in '64 that audiences were left dead-silent and stunned. The Cold War was like the Great Depression, unless you lived thru it, you'll never quite "get" it.
Oh, and I just remembered a couple more of my favorites:

You can't forget about some of the old Godzilla movies though, along with King Kong and The Blob (not sure if it was B&W though).

King Kong (1933) Absolutely :aok
The Blob was in color, but not a bad movie
As far as Godzilla movies go, Gojira (1954) and the American adaptation Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956) are great. After that, they seemed to be targeted more for kids, and just got sillier and sillier.

There really are just too many to mention. But since it's my all time favorite movie, I'm going to have to go with "The Philadelphia Story."
"Whiskey is a slap on the back.... Champagne is a mist before my eyes..."
"I know a recipe that's said to pop the pennys off the eyes of dead Irishmen"
"Oh, and the night that you got drunk on champagne and climbed out on the roof and stood there, NAKED, with your arms out to the moon, wailing like a banshee"
And Dinah stole every scene that she was in.
Man... I love that movie. It actually makes me happy when I watch it.

Just a movie full of great quotes
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059711/quotes
I'm just watching this today as I read this thread. Add another quote to the list:
"I never saw the state come around with a spare tit when I was raising them!"
Also love Winchester '73 - heck I love ust about any movie with Jimmy Stewart in it!
-
Way too many to pick just one.
Any of the Marx Brothers films up to Night at the Opera for good laughs
Lots of good Westerns. Fort Apache, Darling Clementine, Destry Rides Again, Ox Bow Incident is a great film too.
Casablanca, Maltese Falcon with Bogie. Sahara is a guilty pleasure with Bogie and the tank that never runs out of gas.
Battleground, Best Years of our Lives for WW2 era stuff. Air Force is my guilty pleasure WW2 aviation film with the B17C "Mary Ann' that wins WW2 by itself.
Philadelphia Story, It Happened One Night for the romantic comedy stuff.
The list goes on and on.

The great dictator with Charlie Chaplin.

I know he did, he made a lot of movies. But the ones I remember well (Ex. The Birds, Rear Window, Vertigo) I think were all in color -- or perhaps that awful "colorized" garbage they were all into for so many years. By comparison, of the four you name, two titles sound familiar, but I couldn't tell you a thing about them. Not sure if it would be the same for many other people.

Good film. Unfortunately, every time I see Errol Flynn now, I picture him in that stupid "Big Daddy" pressure suit from "Dive Bomber". :lol
I loved "Dive Bomber" - all those pre-WWII yellow winged navy planes - what's not to like there? And actual aircraft, not today's hokey looking CGI stuff. I'd still like to know what the "RAF Fighter" in that movie was. Looks like some kind of Italian job, Maachi 200? IDK, but still overall a good movie.

Just realized... John Wayne: The Searchers.

A lot of the "actual aircraft" in the movies of that period are actually model airplanes (don't recall the specifics of "Dive Bomber" though). I just remember that Wiley Post pressure helmet.
