Like most people I have more than one favorite, However, the one that came to mind, I have seen a few times, but not recently. It's "Meet John Doe".

 

[Axel Slingerland]

 

[Don Alaska]

We at least agree on something here @Axel Slingerland. My favorite movie as well.

 

[Yvonne Smith]

When I was a kid, most of the Saturday matinee’s were westerns, and so my favorite actors were Audie Murphy, James Stewart, Jeff Chandler, and Randolph Scott.
This was always one of my favorite movies back then.

 

[Nancy Hart]

Once Upon a Time in America 1984
Robert De Niro and James Woods, directed by Sergio Leone

Only the long version (3:49). The trimmed version (2:09) for American audiences was awful.

How they ruined a masterpiece...

I like all kinds of movies, in all eras, I don't think they are improving though.

I agree with you there. Hollywood has had writers block off and on for decades. Specially when they try (and typically fail miserably) to improve on classic films or TV shows. Some are good, but most of them are so bad they're insulting to the original crews who made them.

We don't seem to be getting very much in the way of original ideas. So many remakes of old material!

I don't really understand this. There is a great deal of literature going back decades that cries out for adaptation as a film, film series, or full television series. Probably in every genre.

My Fair Lady, Lady Hawk, lots of others.
