My turn: 2001: A Space Oddyssey First good science ficton movie. Still good. Star Wars - Pretty good science fiction movie. Also among the first good ones. The Maltese Falcon - Good. But Bogie is most always good. Patton - Maybe best war movie Tora! Tora! Tora! - Good. The Pearl Harbor attack from the Japanese point of view. Or "How to lose a war on the first day." Midway - Very good war movie. Or "In case Tora! Tora! Tora! didn't do it, how to finish the job."
