wow, i didnt even realize he was still alive! what other living legends do we still have? im going to go to IMDB and read all his personal quotes. TCM is by far the best channel on TV. unless one of my teams are playing.

Hard to pick his best film, but the Defiant Ones and The Vikings are probably where you should start, one is an epic action film, and the other a character study on two escaped convicts. After that, Some Like It Hot, as a screwball comedy.
