Did you read the book first? That's soured me on more than a few movies. Most notably The Shining. II only saw it once when it came out, so I could well be overrating it. I loved it at the time though and bought a Blu-ray the moment they hit the shelves. (My wife has a copy of the book which I would like to read.) I couldn't believe the same guy responsible for Hulk made it.
Some that may not have been mentioned. I grew up surrounded by WWII vets, including my father, and ended up loving movies like these. Paths of Glory The Bridge on the River Kwai Battleground Twelve O'Clock High Das Boot Patton Casablanca The Big Red One Stalag 17 The Train Lawrence of Arabia The Deer Hunter
Movies Ive seen a million times: Kung Fu Hustle Dredd Sicario The Sandlot Tropa Elita 2 The Devil Wears Prada
