We have a great movie multiplex in our town. Seniors pay only $4.00. My wife and I attend movies whenever there is playing something we might enjoy; but we don't expect much - just entertainment.
There is a difference between great movies and entertainment.
Today's movies are full of special effects, and some are spectacular. But, take away the special effects, graphic violence and non-stop action, you find the story line is thin and the acting is mediocre.
These are my pick for movies with great scripts and exceptional acting.
These are the Ol'Buzzard's pick for quality movie watching. I can watch them over and over across the years and never get tired of them.
Unfortunately, with today' dumbing down of story content we have set a standard for movie goers. Most young people today could not sit through most of my movie pics. They would be board with the story and not appreciate the exceptional acting.

Amadeus was wonderful. All of these are still great movies today. There are a few movies that I think should be added to your list because of the great screenplay and acting.
