Which films do you think are Classics? And I suppose which films that are classed as classics shouldn't be?

My first five in no order:

Goldfinger.
Jason and the Argonauts.
Dracula. (Lee)
White Heat.
King Kong.

I have a few more to add later.

Forgot my quote

"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."

King Kong I agree with
Alien
The Thing (1982)
The Adventures of Robin hood
Casablanca
The African Queen
Birth of a Nation
Safety Last
The General
Spartacus
Ben Hur

There's a lot more of course

Alien Like the original.
The Thing Although I like this version, my favourite is the original. Got original on 16mm
The Adventures of Robin hood. The only one. Got the 4x400ft Derann
Casablanca Like this Want this.
The African Queen Great film
Birth of a Nation Not too sure
Safety Last Agreegood
The General. Great Classic would like this on film.
Spartacus Good
Ben Hur Great.

Psycho, King Kong, Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Billy Elliot, Titanic,Saving Private Ryan, Crocodile Dundee, Way Out West, The Lion King, Shrek, SIlence Of the Lambs, Star Wars,Gladiator, Saw, American Beauty ... etc etc etc

How's that for diversity! ... those just for starters.

Thought i'd better start posting. In no order whatsoever...
North by Northwest
Life of Brian
Lawrence of Arabia
The Ladykillers
Zulu
Brazil
It's a Wonderful Life
2001
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Gandhi
Airplane
Being There
Back to the Future

These are just the first ones which came to mind!

I must confess, I do have a soft spot for "Wonderful Life" myself at this time of the year.
The first "Back To The Future" is also one of my favourites Jonathan...but then I have many like most people have I guess.

ok cop this lot,
bedford incident
ten commandments
split second
crack in the world
naked prey
a prize of arms
curse of frankenstein
dracula 1958
all of basil rathbone's sherlock holmes
the last grenade
the long and the short and the tall
camp on blood island
a farewell to arms
carousel
the haunting
and on and on

War of the Worlds is also a classic of course ... Citizen Kane, The Dollar Trilogy and Once Upon a Time in the West ... Oh, there's so many

To list Classics in the cinema is quite a tall order, so I shall leave the mainstream and list a few of my personal likes, classics in
their own genre's. The Beyond, The Big Silence, The Mask of Satan,Castle of Blood, Blood On Satan's Claw, Witchfinder General,
The Ghost Breakers, Caligula, The Devils. Enter The Dragon, Get Carter, The Long Good Friday.

Ah, The Long Good Friday! I should have said that. Bob Hoskins at his best. Well nahhh there's been an eruption!
