Some good ones there. I also liked The Andromeda Strain. I recommend the 2008 miniseries The Andromeda Strain if you can find it. It's very different from the novel and original film, but still enjoyable.

··Tend not to fret too muchSo many classics already named that I love but, unless I have missed it, nobody has mentioned The Third Man. So that's my addition to the list.

·Primal Fear. Probably one of the most electrifying plot twists/endings ever. An incredible performance by Edward Norton as a total psychopath and a very underrated performance by Richard Gere as his duped defense lawyer.

·I was channel surfing last night and came across The Great Escape which was filmed in 1963. As many of you probably know, the movie is based loosely on the true story of the mass escape of Allied airmen prisoners of war from Stalag Luft III on the night of March 24, 1944. Of the 76 prisoners who escaped, only 3 made it to freedom. 50 of the 73 who were recaptured were executed by the Gestapo in violation of the Geneva Convention. Here is the sobering scene when the news of the "50" is delivered to Allied Group Captain Ramsay (played by James Donald) by the clearly shaken Stalag Luft Kommandant (played by Hannes Messemer):
Interestingly, there is a watch connection here due to the Rolex worn by one of the Allied Airmen. More about that here: The timepiece that inspired The Great Escape | Christie's (christies.com) What are your favorite classic movies (with or without a watch connection)?
This is one of my favorite movies. My grandfather was shot down one week before the great escape on March 20th, 1944. He was flying his P-47D on a mission to attack Luftwaffe airfields in NE France. He spent 13 months in Lufftwaffe captivity, including 12 at Stalag Luft III. He turned 21 years old at the camp.
