Now that we're on the subject, here's a list of my eleven (I couldn't stop at
ten) favorite English-language films to keep the discussion going.
(In no particular order).

The Third Man - My all-time favorite.  Great script, great photography, great
	acting.  Every time I see this film, I see something new.

Patton - I know it glorifies war and all that, but any film that keeps my
	attention for three straight hours has to be special.

The Godfather, Parts I/II - The rise and fall of the American dream in six
	hours.  May be the greatest American film of all time.  Both parts
	should be seen together to be fully appreciated.

Casablanca - What can I say?

M*A*S*H - The funniest comedy I've ever seen.  The Last Supper/suicide scene
	has got to be the funniest thing I've seen anywhere.

Silent Running - If I has to pick one science fiction film favorite, this
	would be it.  A truly moving story (something that you don't find
	too frequently in science fiction).

The Ruling Class - Next to M*A*S*H, my favorite comedy.  Peter O'Toole is
	hilarious.  Currently enjoying a revival.  See it.

The Stunt Man - I must have a soft spot for Peter O'Toole.  Like "The Third
	Man," a film of many levels and rich enough to offer something new
	with each viewing.

North by Northwest - My favorite Hitchcock.  Many unforgettable scenes.

The Man Who Would Be King - A wonderful adventure film.  For some reason,
	I always feel very moved after I see this film (this is something
	rare in adventure films, too).

The Lion in Winter - Peter O'Toole, again!  Filled with performances of
	incredible emotion.  Takes a great deal of concentration to follow
	all the dialogue and plot twists in this film.


Favorite B-movie:  

Theatre of Blood - Amazingly clever and literate for a B-film.  Vincent Price
	plays a mad Shakespearean actor who knocks off his critics using
	themes from Shakespeare's plays.  Diana Rigg also stars as Price's
	daughter.  Occasionally on TV or at revival houses.

OK, who's next?
