Saturday Afternoon at the Movies

This idea came from a Facebook meme:
Over 10 days, post your 10 all time favorite films. What movie has really made an impact on you or what films can you watch over and over and never tire of? Post either the movie poster, DVD cover or even a screenshot on your timeline. No need to explain.

Only I had a hard time picking out just 10 movies so my favorites over the next few hundred Saturdays 😸 in semi-alphabetical order:me favorite films.

    You might have guessed already - I haven't heard of it, but I have heard of the actors, that's something! Valerie

      IRL, Sidney Poitier and Richard Widmark were best friends.

    I believe this is a bit before my time, so naturally, I've never heard of it. At least it's in color (grin).

      I was 10 years old when I saw this movie on a black and white television. 😺Richard Widmark is my favorite actor of all time

    I've never heard of this one... Widmark and Poitier! Nice! Googling, I see the American Legion condemned it. Lionel Jeffries plays one of the Moors, which seems an odd choice, but it seems Ernest Borgnine turned down the Poitier role. Borgnine in the role of Moor does boggle the mind.

      Borgnine did better as Ragnar, father to Einar (Kirk Douglas) and Erik (Tony Curtis) in The Vikings. Lionel Jeffries played a Eunich in The Long Ships, a bit of comic relief.
