I tried, but if memory serves me, wife and I didn't care for the language. Seems to be on a lot of folks fave list though.

[Sighlass]

Added to my "to watch list"... looks promising... thanks

A sub category for conservatives should include movies like Ninotchka and Doctor Zhivago.

Hope you enjoy it.  There wasn't much wrong that Cary Grant could do, IMO. 

What about:
American In Paris?
Despicable Me?
Hannibal? (the TV series, though this may have too much gore for your liking)
Flame and Citron? (Subtitled if I remember right)
Casino Royale?  (the newer one)

John Adams (HBO)

13th Warrior
Braveheart
Beckett
A Lion In Winter
Arsenic and Old Lace

We watch the first two parts over the July 4th holiday.  If it's a rainy holiday ... we go for the third part, too!  It's become a new tradition.

[RoosGirl]

The old Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea on PBS with Megan Follows was wonderful.

[Sighlass]

Frasier (the early years)
John Adams (HBO)
Tora Tora Tora
Taking Chance

Frasier was good, John Adam ended up getting on DVD, will look up Tora and Taking Chance ... Thanks Right

If dated then still good. Made back when dialog still mattered.

[Right_in_Virginia]

If anyone's looking to laugh so hard they miss the dialogue ... may I suggest "Analyze This".   

[Sighlass]

13th Warrior
Braveheart
Beckett
A Lion In Winter
Arsenic and Old Lace

Beckett was great, I added A Lion in Winter to my "to watch" list... looking up 13th Warrior now... thanks

The old Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea on PBS with Megan Follows was wonderful.

That evokes fond memories. My mother loved the old Ann of Green Gables.

[Bigun]

Can't believe that no one has put Lonesome Dove on their list.

[Sighlass]

The old Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea on PBS with Megan Follows was wonderful.

Yes, loved the old Anne of Green Gables, the new version we didn't care for, BBC did their liberal spin on it.

[Sighlass]

Can't believe that no one has put Lonesome Dove on their list.

I loved it too, I just couldn't "POKE" it on my list.

[Bigun]

I loved it too, I just couldn't "POKE" it on my list.

ROFLMAO!!!

I may be4 the only one but I also think Dances with Wolves is a classic!
