Most memorable? A fun concept
Goldfinger
The height of the James Bond franchise, while other Bond movies may have passed it in terms of dollars earned, Goldfinger remains to me the quintessential James Bond movie, having the perfect mix of action, intrigue, gadgets and girls
Superman - 1978
Argueably the finest superhero movie of its day, it pushed the envelope in terms of special effects and made Christopher Reeve a star as his portrayal of Kal-El The Last Son of Krypton and Clark Kent were brilliantly executed.
The Original Star Wars Trilogy
Cheating a bit, but all three movies should IMO be taken as a cohesive whole as they flow nicely into one another while weaving their magic. George Lucas pushed the envelope and was able to entertain us in a genre that had been declared "dead" for years.
The Wizard of Oz
A brilliantly executed movie for its day. I can sit there and rewatch this movie at the drop of a hat. From its amazing cinemetography to Judy Garland's breathtaking singing ability, just a spectacular movie to be sure.
Harry Potter trilogy
Again cheating here but all three HP movies have the ability to captivate their audience, both fans of the book and people who've never heard of the books before. I realize that these films are still relatively fresh in the public eye, but any modern movie series that can hold my dad's attention to the point where he actually stays awake during the entire movie has my respect :lol:
