Isn't What's Up, Doc? undeservedly forgotten? What an unfortunate title choice. Plus, two classic lines/exchanges:
"I know I'm different, but from now on I'm going to try and be the same."
"The same as what?"
"The same as people who aren't different. "
and
"Love means never having to say you're sorry."
"That's the dumbest thing I ever heard." and this from the star of Love Story
...and a great car chase, "We can make it... we can make it... I don't think we can make it."
What's Up, Doc? is basically inspired by Howard Hawks' Bringing Up Baby. It's one of the few movies with Ryan O'Neal in it that I can sit through, and laugh. Otherwise, I don't get his appeal. And someone actually concieved the idea of him playing Michael Corleone? But Barry Lyndon is a must-see just for the cinematography and camera-work if you are a Kubrick fan.
Caine and Olivier both give tour-de-force performances in Sleuth.
