I voted for Call Of The Wild for the thirties film, The Ghost and Mrs Muir for the forties, The Tall Men for the fifties and How To Steal A Million from the sixties, i can't vote for Jesse James, its a good film but i remember it as the film which featured some very bad horse cruelty and brought about more involvement from the American Humane Association into feature film production, sure Call Of The Wild probably features real fur and i'm not into that either but as far as i am aware it doesn't have cruel stunts in it. I also love Inn Of The Sixth Happiness, Ingrid Bergman is superb in this and the music score is outstanding.
I would like to see The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes which i believe is a 1939 20th Century Fox release, from the forties i'd also like to see Belle Starr, Jane Eyre, Laura, Dragonwyck and My Darling Clementine, i'm a big Gene Tierney fan and also Jane Eyre has fantastic cinematography and atmosphere, note lots of female names in the titles i'd like to see from the forties.
In the fifties i'd also like The Gunfighter, great Gregory Peck film, The Desert Fox, Anne Of The Indies, ( i think that one was the inspiration for Cutthroat island which i love ) Niagara, the original Invaders From Mars, The Desert Rats, ( James Mason again playing Rommel ) Broken Lance, Heaven Knows Mr Allison, The Enemy Below.
Of course all the 50's musicals such as The King and I, Carousel and Oklahoma!
From the sixties i would also like a re-release of The Longest Day ( minus DNR ) and maybe another release of The Sound Of Music, this time with high frequencies intact, The Quiller Memorandum, a re-release of The Sand Pebbles since i think its out of print now, The Boston Strangler, 100 Rifles, just for Raquel Welch taking a shower under that train thingie, no really its a good western.
From the seventies i'd like The Mephisto Waltz, Emperor of the North Pole, The Seven-Ups, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox, Silver Streak, The Driver, All That Jazz although i think that's maybe Columbia, unsure as its a co-production.
From the eighties i'd like to see Brubaker, Fort Apache: The Bronx, i love this film, Paul Newman in great form, I, The Jury, The Verdict, The Star Chamber, The Osterman Weekend, Silkwood, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, think that's now MGM so highly unlikely, Black Widow, Working Girl, The Fly II.
From the nineties i'll take Pacific Heights, a directors cut of Nightbreed, ( please include theatrical too ) Class Action, Toys, ( i loved it, everyone else didn't ) A Life Less Ordinary, Pushing Tin.
From 2000 onwards i'd like The Beach, a re-release of Wrong Turn this time with a good transfer, the release of the unrated cut of Die Hard 4.
A final request, please burn all original negatives of Meet The Spartans, Date Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie and Vampires Suck and jail Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer for crimes to humanity.
