City Lights 1931, G)
My favorite film from the silent era. Chaplin is great, the movie is funny and moving, and possesses maybe the greatest ending in movie history. |

Citizen Kane 1941, PG)
No film i believe can claim "the greatest of all time", but Kane is easily part of a bunch that is in the conversation. |

The Maltese Falcon 1941, PG)
The quentessential Bogart Film. |

12 Angry Men (Twelve Angry Men) 1957, Unrated)
Excellent cast for an excellent film. That fact that a movie can remain interesting by taking place in a single room is amazing to me. |

Some Like It Hot 1959, Unrated)
One of the best in the cannon from Billy Wilder, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon are classic. |
