    Yes a lot of great films about...have given it a wee bit of thought and here are my ten..had a lot of enjoyment watching these over the years.

    A lot of films are great at their time and you look back later and hmmm maybe not so good. I think 2001 was/is like that.

    The Cinerama time was exciting..I saw How the West was Won in Cinerama too.
    great stuff!

    But back to the ten...

    Lawrence of Arabia
    you know that feeling you get when you know you are in for a big sweep of a spectacle..lovely feeling. Lawrence delivered that. Peter O'Toole's finest hour!

    Gunfight at the OK Corral
    great partnership of Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas ( Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday)

    She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
    Couldnt resist all that oul Oirish blarney..and the scene coming through the wilds of Arizona in a storm.

    The Searchers
    more John Ford

    The Third Man
    Black and white imagery a real treat..and who can forget Orsen Welles.

    The Horse Soldiers
    more John Wayne a civil war western..I have a lot of westerns on the list.

    Sunset Boulevard
    probably the greatest one ever..surprised it wasnt on the official list from the bods with the Buddy Holly glasses.

    The Great Gatsby
    the one with Alan Ladd...dont go near the one with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow

    Battle of Britain
    as mentioned by the other guys. Good stirring war effort..spectacular.

    and last but not least

    Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines
    This was probably from the era where all these kinds of films were the vogue..they were very popular for a short time...and this one was great fun. Great cast of British veterans.

    I think Ive got 10 there.
