Das Boot, ja, I saw that so long ago, it deserves a re-watch. Love L.A. Story too, often wished the freeway talked to me too.

Oh man! I forgot my all-time fave: Best in Show. If you don’t like it, there’s probably something wrong with you.

Kingdom of Heaven
Unforgiven
Dave
Gladiator

I do like Sci-fi but they are just pure escape and nothing that is going to scare the viewer because there is enough real things in life to scare you.

Wow...one of these things is not like the others.

• Fargo
• Pulp Fiction
• Tampopo (4/4 stars from Roger Ebert back in the day https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/tampopo-1987 )

Re Mary Poppins/ Sherri Bobbins

It's always been a bit of a joke in the UK because of Dick Van Dyke's appalling accent but I guess it was very technically advanced for its time. I recented rewatched it with my nieces and it hasn't aged well notwithstanding a fairly progressive message about female roles/role models.

 

[Decreed_It]

omg

Das Boot

yes, the original German film - what a ride! My heart rate just spiked thinking about it.
