COMPETITON: have your say, what's your favourite movie and why?

I like Westerns. What makes Western's standout is a striking, cinematically-beautiful image, like the scene on the morning of the start of the epic cattle drive in which the camera pans 360 degrees around to view the herd and the cowboys in Red River (1948): Quintessence musical score like the Marlboro theme from The Magnificent Seven (1960): A plot twist like in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962): A brilliant special-effects technique like in The Wild Bunch (1969): A surprising revelation like realistic shoot-outs in Warlock (1959) or Appaloosa (2008): A memorable song like "Knockin on heaven's door," from Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973): A dramatic entrance like the Ringo Kid's specially-highlighted entrance scene in which a tracking shot zooms in as he is twirling and re-cocking his Winchester rifle with one hand in Stagecoach (1939): A sexually charged scene like Jane Russell wrestling in the hay stable in The Outlaw (1943): Surprise endings like Sergeant Rutledge (1960): The ultimate extended opening with the fly from Once Upon A Time in the West (1968): Or closing sequences like the end of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969): Character studies like Will Penny (1968) & Monte Walsh (1970) or later The Grey Fox, (1982) and Harry Tracy (1982): A shocking heart-stopping, horrific moment, like the one with the kid in McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971): Or historically pure tales like Tom Horn (1979) or Jeremiah Johnson (1972) or The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007): Kurosawa rain in The Missing (2003) and Open Range (2003).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
