: What about CLASSICS? Movies that will be loved and respected for decades to come?
: I'm not talking funny or fun movies (Empire and Caddyshack), I'm talking GREAT movies. Movies that evoke emotion and thought. Movies that you want to talk about, not just recall funny quotes or cool action scenes.
: These are good movies, and on my favorite comedies list, but the 1930s had truly GREAT cinema.
: And I don't need to list more, because M is, by far, one of the greatest films ever made, and definitely better than 99% of every movie released in the 80s. Throw in some Pygmalion and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and you have an unbeatable combination.
