Whoever said The Swimmer and The Searchers, well done! Add Trapeze to that list (loved that film). Close Encounter I think was mentioned too (great weepy) and round off with The Blues Brothers for a bit of levity, comedy and great music.

2001
Bullitt
Local Hero
Casablanca

[TwigtheWonderkid]

Jean De Florette / Manon De Souces
Godfather 1 & 2
Goodfellas
Cinema Paradiso
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (laugh if you want, but it's such a great film, i loved it as a kid, my kids loved it, I hope one day to watch it with my grandkids). The child catcher is still one of the great cinema villains, and genuinely scary. It's a brilliant story, a great cast, just a triumph of cinema).

Oh come on, there are a few in there for anyone, surely?

Boys N the Hood is an excellent film (not my cuppa normally either!) and Aliens is a classic (as is Alien in a different way, on a par, but Aliens is an action movie and Alien more of a horror film/thriller with a slow build).

Some of the others, I'll agree are utterly missable - I really don't get Ron Burgundy (actually I can't think of any film with Will Ferrell in that I've enjoyed...).

I do recall loving Big Trouble in Little China at the time too!

I might just be tempted by Raiders and Ferris Bueller but I would swap the whole list for A Very Long Engagement , Annie Hall , Fargo , O Brother Where Art Thou? Or ,more recently, The Shape of Water.

But I am a terrible cinematic snob .
