Okay.

I disagree, its not easy going perhaps and something you need to be in the mood for but Oscar bait for me is more cinema that's not really very ambitious and gets by on a bland respectability/politics, basically modern Speilberg.

Deer Hunter
The Wire - TV but awesome anyway
A half dozen or more of the Alfred Hitchcock movies are absolute must see
The early Bond films with Sean Connery
Sound of Music - perhaps the best musical of all time

 

[DeepCover]

Plenty of good ones named already. I’ll add the following:

North by Northwest
Mr. Roberts
Operation Petticoat
Traffic

 

[MaureenCretis]

That one with Daphne Rosen I watched night. Everyone needs to see that.

whatever my mother does behind closed doors is her business, but at least I was still loved & raised properly.
