2. Apocalypse Now ..... Bad...bad Movie (In A Good Way!)! Thanks Laura ! Das Boot is 17th !! That was a fantastic movie... who was on meth when writing this up...

#30 Casablanca please - my wife lived there as an Air Force brat when she was about 2 or 3.

Thanks!!!
Keith

I'll go with #30, Casablanca. Sure, not your typical in-your-face kind of war movie; instead a much more subtile commentary on the last great war.

And one of the most quoted, and misquoted, movies of all time.

ETA: Keith beat me to it! Ok, how about #4 Schindler's List. The girl in the red coat still haunts me.
