The Man who Shot Liberty Valance. I'd have White Heat and Casablanca hidden away like contraband for when the coast was clear.

Well I'm very surprised no one has chosen Outlaw Josey Wales, Quigley Down Under, Lonesome Dove or Open Range.
For me it's a no brainer...The original movie Lonesome Dove.

Watching just one movie appeals to me about as much as just wearing the same underwear until THE END APPEARS.

TBATB shows up on TCM several times per year. As do the others I mentioned. I usually cruise TCM weekly to see what is scheduled over the following several weeks so I can set the DVR. I watched one TCM movie offering early this morning that I had never seen or even heard of before - "John Paul Jones" (1959) starring Robert Stack in the role of the revolutionary war Naval hero. Not great but OK, based on fact but fictionalized too much for me. Sort of like watching a pirate movie.

Family meeting. I posed this question to them and after batting it around in our heads we made our decisions:
JR: Sonic the Hedgehog.
Logan: Napoleon Dynamite.
Ruthie: The Quiet Man.
Me: Down Periscope.

'The Great Race'. Jack Lemon, Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood & a menagerie of supporting stars, traversing the globe. Rockets, airplanes, barnstorming, race cars, trains, guns, Russians, Western towns, the desert, Antartica, Castles, moats, Paris, Pie Fights, sword fights, fist fights, bar room brawls, Boat racing, Hot air ballooning, submarine shenanigans. The Hannibal 8, a spooky haunted bad guy castle, Long Live Professor Fate! 'Push the Button Max!" All good.

The Russians are coming, The Russians are coming.
Huge cast and some really good quotable lines.
-OR-
McLintock.... and Big Jake...
The chemistry between John Wayne and Mauren O'Hara was just electric.
The Dirty Dozen.
I might be able to tie films down to a top 20- but not just 1!
ANYTHING directed by John Ford.
All the above have GREAT ensemble casts.

I'm torn between the original "Star Wars" (Han fires first) and John Boorman's "Excalibur", the ultimate telling of the Arthur legend.
