Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967). Eloquent acting, Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy’s last movie, interracial marriage when it was still banned in 17 states. In 2017, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Blazing Saddles - Mel Brooks was “Woke” before it was a thing. This movie has a unique style of comedy as it makes fun of the stereotypical racist. It’s intelligent yet childish jokes will keep your attention from beginning to end

#154

Playtime. A french movie from 1967 from director Jacques Tati. A pure genius !!! A true masterpiece. technically revolutionary, visually amazing and extremely clever and funny at the same time. It is ranked 43rd in the British Film Institute's critics' list and 37th in their directors' list of "Top 100 Greatest Films of All Time." A Must See !!!

#155

Phillip Seymor Hoffman did such an absolutely amazing performance, truly amazing. Such a shame he died, he was a very, VERY talented man!

#160

Black cat, white cat.

#161

Cool Hand Luke. Gritty Paul Newman greatness.

#162

The Train (1964). The best movie you've never heard of.

#163

Where the Red Fern Grows

#164

M (1931)
Not only does this movie tell you a lot about the society, crime and police work at the time, it also conveys strong messages how two wrongs don't make a right and how legal punishment shouldn't be revenge - all while being a thrilling crime movie.

#165

Star girl

#166

The Court Jester (1955). Danny Kaye is hysterical!

#167

How to Steal a Million. Although better known for Sabrina and Roman Holiday, Audrey Hepburn is utterly charming and funny in this classic comedic crime caper / romance. She and Peter O’Toole have more chemistry than she and Bogart ever did. This film is classy and clever in a way that’s rarely found in modern films.

#168

Wings of Desire by Wim Wenders
Seven Samurai by Kurosawa
Citizen Kane by Orsen Wells

#169

East Wind by Godard. Redefines what a movie *is*. And just joyous to watch.

It's brilliant! Shot in 1999 it's the story of a boy, whose father is widower and can't handle the daily chores in the household. But in a lottery the first prize is a smart home, impersonated as a woman. (Katey Sagal) She makes a lot of trouble to her owners and yeah, pretty good film.

Watch it!

#182

Dead Zone starring Christopher Walken, Martin Sheen and Tom Skerritt. Shines a light on what some people might do to gain power and those who cover it up for them.
