Best is a pretty strong word.
Here's just a few my favourites:

The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (silent)
Italian and Swedish cinema of the 1950s.
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,
The Asphalt Jungle
On The Waterfront
Stromboli
The Day the Earth Stood Still
The Cruel Sea
The Rebel (Tony Hancock)
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
China Town
Easy Rider
Color Purple
Paris, Texas
The Life Of Pi
Goodnight, And Good Luck

...The Third Man doorway in Vienna, near the University at Shottentor - I stood there.

LOL... when we were travelling around Europe,
I had to emulate Gregory Peck sticking my hand
into the opening of La Bocca della Verità, and of
course did the same thing as Peck with my wife.

Just like a million other tourists before me.

How did he make his sleeve go over his hand?

How did you do it?

Yes, I visited that church, too, and did the same. Been telling the truth since.

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

I agree with a couple there.

Also, 'Sideways'. Love that movie.

Not a classic by any means, but just a great little independent (?) movie.

Oh, and 'The Time Machine' (1960), with Rod Taylor.

I couldn't get enough of that movie when I was a kid.

I must have seen it 25 to 30 times now.

Simple... I didn't pull my hand out of the mouth
like Peck. Just screamed for the effect.

The Peck shot was just clever editing I guess?

"Throw Momma From The Train," with Danny de Vito, Billy Crystal, and the unforgetable Anne Ramsey as "Momma." The night was dark . . .
