Last part of the 50+ great theatrical movies

Rounding out the last part of the list...

12 Angry Men - If only the courts could actually be this way. The original is the best. A testament to pursuing the truth, and looking prejudices of all types square in the eye.

Ray

Reservoir Dogs

American Beauty

Blade Runner

Das Boot - Yes another German film. If you love submarines it doesn’t get better. A depiction of the strength that is the will, the commitment to comrades in arms and the ship that carries them.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Night of the Living Dead

Animal House

The Quiet Man

Gunga Din

Ghandi

Life of Brian

The Producers - the original is best with no offense to Mr. Matthew Broderick or Mr. Nathan Lane.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Highlander

Sergeant Butler - An often overlooked western that is unique not in its material but its hero. A look at Black African Americas in the post-Civil War era West that displays the honor and commitment many held in and out of the military.

Vampire Hunter D

Halloween

The Last Samurai - If you think it’s about Mr. Tom Cruise you haven’t gotten what the real story is.

300 Spartans

Notable Mentions Include :

The Way of the Gun
Suicide Kings
A Fish Called Wanda
A Few Good Men

This is what I think, what do you think?
