Are there any limits? Other than LOA these are all post 1940. What about Zulu and Waterloo, and The Wind that Shakes the Barley, Karthoum, Barry Lyndon, A Very Long Engagement, Doctor Zhivago, And Quiet Flows the Don. Yours are all Color. Some of the best have been in black and white: All Quiet on the Western Front (original), Westfront 1918, Gunga Din, Culloden, The Best Years of our Lives. Anyway, there are too many movies to go with 10 for me so I will not try to constrain myself |

All Quiet on the Western Front should be #1 with an asterisk. The asterisk being how great it is in relation to when it was made. An honorable mention for me would be the HBO film Conspiracy, about the Wansee Conference. Bob without his dog, we don't need no stinking limits. |
