KIng Rat is a phenomenal movie. So many great acting performances (one of the smallest roles in the movie, played by Hogan's Hero Richard Dawkins, as the paratrooper that is the first liberator on the scene, is superb. His reaction to Corporal King's well manicured and well fed appearance when he first meets him is spot on.)
The Great Escape
A Bridge too far
Stalag 17
Those are a few of my favorites I watch at least once a year.

Yes, Griffith does a remarkable job. I just read the other day, this is character was closer to the real man than Andy Taylor character. Made me sad.A Face in the Crowd with Andy Griffith, Patricia Neal and Walter Matthau is a favorite classic of mine. It gives you a completely contrasting character from Andy's normal roles. Good movie.
I was going to list Stalag 17. Movie about a German POW camp. Entertaining movie. For those old enough to remember the comedy show Hogans Hero’s, the show was VERY loosely based on this movie.
Love Gregory Peck. Here are a couple of his:

Reminds me of the time my youngest child, who loved The Andy Griffith Show, asked me if everything was still in black and white when I was her age. 😂
Jack Lemmon was great in The Out of Towners. They ruined it for me when they tried to remake it with Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn.
Whatever Bob Shreve had on the Past Prime Time Playhouse on Channel 9 in Cincy in the 60'ws & 70's. Was on Saturday after the comedy shows. By 4a, he was drunker than skunk.

Spending the Night With Bob (You Had to Be There)
Buried at the bottom of a banker’s box full of nicotine-stained paperbacks and tattered men’s magazines, I found a diary from Richard W [full name redacted for privacy], lifelong resident Richmond, Indiana, and former paper mill employee. This particular entry was germane to my interests:Friday...

Wow, it's been a while since I thought of those days. What a funny dude!
Back when it was the Past Prime Playhouse I was working a 2nd shift job. I'd get home around 1:30am on Saturday night/Sunday morning. He'd run the crappiest movies. But that didn't matter because he was the entertainment. Especially after I'd burned a fatty and had a couple Schoenling's myself.
