I started watching this movie one day and 10 minutes in I was mesmerized and could not move from the screen. It was so good. :)

There are some major classic films worthy of reviewing. QuA's list is excellent, and I would add:
Lawrence of Arabia.
War & Peace.
12 Angry Men.
Advise and Consent.
Seven Days in May.
And, in my view, the greatest film ever made: 2001, A Space Odyssey (1968).

Casablanca. The Quiet Man.
