    I'd never seen it before, either. I just searched for it for @Dwight Ward and I assume it's the same one he mentioned.

    Thanks so much, Beth. I had the night and day reversed and had forgotten about the hunters and dogs. It makes me pretty melancholy watching it after 60+ years.

    A very good clean movie about fathers, it is in religious type but not alot of religion its more about life with fathers and sons and cops lives.

    The Remains Of The Day should be at the top of this list. I've not seen all but it's a pretty good list, IMO. The Gods Must Be Crazy is also a must-see.

    The Gods must be Crazy is one of my favorite movies. Not a big expense account for production but that made if more humorous.

    The Apu Trilogy



    The Human Condition Trilogy - it takes place during war, so there is violence, but it's not gory, and what dominates is the incredible level of humanism amidst suffering



    The River - Martin Scorsese's favorite movie (and The Red Shoes)





    Rashomon - understated violence, but one of Kurosawa's greatest films
