>>This is one of my all time favorite movies. That, Casablanca, African Queen, Key Largo, On the Waterfront and Lawrence of Arabia, I can sit down and watch any time.

>One of my faves, which I've watched more than any other film, at least 8 times, is "Ice Cold in Alex" - John Mills, Anthony Quail, Harry Andrews and Sylvia Simms at her most beautiful.

>A Matter of Life and Death - David Niven - absolutely brill - watched at least 5 times. Never tire of it.

>Another old fave is Alec Guiness in "Kind Hearts and Coronets", a good Old Ealing Comedy, where he plays all the parts of a family who are murdered for their inheritance, by Denis Price at his dastardly best.

>Arican Queen is a great old film, with Hepburn and Bogart at their very best.
>Lawrence is a bit longish for an Saturday afternoon sit down but, of course, a great film.

How could I have forgotten "Sparticus" (The mention of "The Vikings" reminded me of the Curtis-Douglas partnership)?
I never tire of this film either. You can stick "Gladiator". The scene near the end where they have to fight each other and beg each other to let each other win, to spare the other from crucifixion, still chokes me up.
