Oooo! I need to give this some thought. Offhand . . .

Unforgiven
Shawshank Redemption
Twelve Angry Men
Rainman
War Games
The Falcon and the Snowman
The Philadelphia Story
A Lion in Winter
(Pretty much all things Katharine Hepburn 😉 )
The Lives of Others (1980s German film - a must-see!)
Any of the original Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers

I love A Christmas Carol!

There’s a 1935 version with Seymour Hicks.
I don’t know if this is the one you’re thinking about. (He doesn’t look too tall and skinny though.)

Here’s another version from 1910 which only lasts 13 minutes! He’s kind of tall and skinny. It’s kind of like a silent version but you can hear talking in the background somewhere under that loud music!


You can look at other versions here. Have fun! 🙂

“Back to the Future” could be one of the best, it is a 1985 American comic science fiction film.the story is about a teenager who is sent back in time to 1955. He meets his future parents in high school and accidentally becomes his mother’s romantic interest…

Anyone agrees with me 🙂

‘In The Heat of the Night’ with Rod Steiger and Sidney Poitier - great movie.

‘To Sir With Love’ - another Sidney Poitier classic.

Hmm, I sense a theme running here … 🙂

Another running theme - ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’ and ‘Some Like it Hot’

And can’t go past ‘Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’

“City Lights” - Chaplin… 20s I think… or 30s…
“Snow White”- Disney - 40s
“All the Fine Young Cannibals” - Natalie Woods 60s
“Twin Peaks” - TV series - late 80s
 
Oh, and how could I forget (? I wasn’t sure about the date of release and had to check is before 1999)
“Last Of The Mohicans”(1992)
 
I love many of the movies already mentioned. I would like to add, Good Morning Miss Dove and To Have And Have Not.
 
Charles Bronson as a senior citizen in New York, fighting back against unruly and disrespectful young people in Death Wish 3 is an empowering movie for older guys.

 
thanks for posting those. i have never seen the Seymour Hicks version before.
i like it.
didn’t plan on watching the whole movie, but i did.
i have never seen the 1910 version either.
amazing it has survived for 108 years!
 
Thanks so much, Autumn-Smoke. Maybe it was the Alastair Sim film after all. I’m still not sure.
