Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Papillon is well remembered, if not as great art, then as a great view.

I'm not really into war movies per se but for some reason I love submarine movies (The Hunt For Red October, Das Boot) and movies and books about the British Navy (Master & Commander).

I should think Ben Hur is a natural for BD. I was in love with Charlton Heston when I was 7, and in love with this movie. I fell out of love with it later in life but the chariot race is one of the great jaw dropping scenes in film history. If you're a Heston fan BH is a must see, but ir needs to be seen on a sizable screen. I also think you should try to catch Zulu - it stars a very young and dashing Michael Caine.

One thing about being an old broad is that I saw a lot of these films in theatrical release, so I have far less catching up to do. Cable T can be your friend for testing the waters - TCM is a prime source of a wide variety of classic movies, and IFC is the place for indies.

A lot of my favorite films were made long before I was ever born. A great movie is a great movie no matter its age or genre.
