Man on Fire (Denzel Washington)
The Outlaw Josey Wales, High Plains Drifter etc etc

[Davyred]

Saw it at the pictures and my jaw dropped. I obviously can\'t tell how close to real life it was, but veterans who saw it said it was as close as it could ever get.

[Charlie_Thompson]

Being There
Koyaanasquatsi (aye I had to google for the right spelling)
The Deer Hunter
Karate Kid IV
Delicatessen

The Normandy landings in the Medal of Honor computer game are quite intense.

[Stores]

Blazing Saddles for comedy
Any spag western with Clint for hero worship
ET for hankies lol

[Davyred]

The fire scene on blazing saddles...wet myself laughing first time I seen it - class film.

[MikeR]

Got to add Close Encounters of the Third Kind (special edition) in there. When you watch the making of it you realise just how much effort went in to it. Watch out for R2D2 glued underneath the mother ship!

Tony, agree with Metropolis. Years ahead of its time. Another oldie I enjoy is the original Nosferatu from 1922 featuring Max Schreck as Count Orlok. Interestingly a few years ago I was in St Nicholas Cathedral in Prague which is filled with huge statues covered in gold leaf. One of them was of St. Michael standing over the devil about to slay him. The devil was the spitting image of Max Schrecks character. Got a postcard of it somewhere if anyone is interested in seeing it.

As for modern films - The Shawshank Redemption, Jaws, Apocalypse Now, The Big Lebowski, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Trainspotting.
