In Reply to: 50 Memorable Films: 1932-1968. posted by AudioHead on September 21, 2004 at 06:43:32:
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1950)BTW, I concur wholeheartedly with many of your choices. Undoubtably everyone's list of memorable films will vary, but the films you've mentioned would probably be on many folk's "memorable" list. Just for fun though (i.e., if you don't mind), I think I'll add 25 of my faves from the years you've mentioned that weren't on your list; feel free to contribute opinions/observations.
1. Shanghai Express ('32)
2. Freaks ('32)

7. The Adventures of Robin Hood ('38)
8. The Mark of Zorro ('40)
9. Fantasia ('40)
10. Citizen Kane ('41)
11. Casablanca ('43)
12. The Third Man ('49)
13. The Day the Earth Stood Still (mentioned above; '50)
14. Scaramouche ('52)
15. High Noon ('52)
16. The Caine Mutiny ('54)
17. Them! ('54)
18. This Island Earth ('55)

Geroge Lucas in Love
The Shining
Barry Lyndon
Clueless
Annie Hall
The Misfits
The Dead
AuPh, I had to be selective due keeping list limited to 50 in
number. Of course, I have many other memorables, including Day
Earth Stood Still, Them! and This Island Earth which you mentioned,
have video copies of them, as well as some other 50s sci-fi, including
Invasion of the Body Snatchers, War of the Worlds, Earth Vs The
Flying Saucers(Harryhausen really shined in that one), etc. Also have original King Kong, one of my alltime
faves, look at Jackson's current effort on remaking of KK for the
second time with rather skeptical interest. Freaks, I've seen and
really liked, a great human interest story by Browning. Flynn as Robin
Hood is definitive IMO. Would have liked High Noon more if music
score hadn't been so constant and occasionally intrusive. Magnificent
Seven was one of my faves as a child. Welle's CK I like, but prefer
Touch of Evil more, due its subject matter. Like Casablanca too,
but not nearly as much as some people. ~AH
