I've not met many people who've even heard of this one, let alone like it. I also have to sound track as well.

We are talking Terrence Malick here! One of my favourite directors - 'Badlands', 'Days of Heaven' and of course 'The Thin Red Line'. A seriously good director -master of the 'voice over'.
 
I should kick myself! Since I've read everyone of his books at least 5 times, how could I forget the ones which movies were based on? Alistair Maclean!
The Guns of Navarone
Force 10 From Navarone
Ice Station Zebra
Fear is the Key
Bear Island
Where Eagles Dare
Breakheart Pass
When Eight Bells Toll

I can't believe that there are 'many' people who have not heard of this movie. It's a good one.

Not a favourite per se but could be of interest to those who lived through the sixties yet can't remember them.

I love Noir films and I can watch them at any time, Anyway here is a partial list.

Chicago Syndicate (1955)

Behind Green Lights (1946)

Maltese Flacon (1941)

Parole Inc. (1948)

Time Table (1956)

Johnny O'clock (1947)

Shield for Murder (1954)

He Walked by Night (1948)

Detour (1945)

D.O.A. (1950)

Kansas City Confidential (1952)

plus a many, many more.
 
I saw "Catch 22" in a fillum theatre back in the 70s after reading the book for the first time. I didn't reckon it was anywhere near as entertaining as the book (which I've read another 1½ times since (I inadvertaintly left it on an aeroplane)) but I thought I'd give it another go now I've matured slightly.
 
Vertigo.
Got to love Hitchcock and Bernard Herman's (sp?) music. Kim Novak is easy on the eyes, you can't help but laugh every time Jimmy Stewart looks at her he gulps. Lol

Tatonka. Dances with Weaves was one of my favorites too.

"10 Rillington Place" was very good. And very scarey in its day!
