During this isolation, I would be interested in suggestions of great movies you like.

please suggest films you feel are worth, actually very worthy, of watching now?  Looking for very good and intelligent films.  As far as ones that simply pass the time, that will be for another day.  I may have the most interest in any classics I may have missed.....you know, films like 'Howdy Doody, Man or Myth"...and "Sex and the Single Dentist".

@skyscraper--Cool--Treasure of the Sierra Madre.  One of my fav film lines of all times...you all know what it is, certainly.

Good one!

These are not thin philosophical soup, and are also shockingly beautiful frame-by-frame:

  • Akira Kurasawa - RAN.
  • Terrence Malick - Thin Red Line.

Real good one @r_f_sayles. Wings Of Desire is, amongst other things, one of the most beautiful looking films ever made, breathtakingly so.

The Black & White cinematography in the Coen Brothers The Man Who Wasn't There (starring Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, James Gandolfini, and Scarlett Johansson) is the best I've ever seen: deep, deep black, and shimmering, almost iridescently-silver white.
