Favorite non military movie

[Wayneb]

Getting tired of the same ole same ole.
So I ask a simple question. What is your favorite non military movie. The kind that sticks in your mind that you can't forget.........For me....."There Will Be Blood" with Daniel Day Lewis.

I know... It's a tough question. But "What Say Ye"?......

- Once Were Warriors (1994); more on IMDb
- The War Zone (1999); more onIMDb
- Let the Right One in (2008); more on IMDb

and I could go on and on and on...

Can't decide between The Blues Brothers and the Charlton Heston film The Omega Man.

Ben Hur, the original one. Hard not to love an actual chariot race.

One of my all time favorites is called "Secondhand Lions". Great movie. Also one called " Big Fish". Both fun movies.

"Into The Wild".

 

[Larsen E. Whipsnade]

My favorite all-time movie is Casablanca (but I guess some might consider that a military movie?). I'll go with Open Range.

The Searchers

I can't decide between Red 1 or Red 2, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels or True Lies. All of them absolute rubbish, but great fun and very entertaining.

One of Kevin Costner's vanity projects (and he did a few: Starring / Directed by / Produced by / Screenplay by / heroic role / gets the girl). But still a very good film.

Too many fine movies to nominate just one, and my "favourite" changes with my mood, so I'm passing on this one. Good thread though.
