Is the right answer. 

[Harry's Lad]

The Great Escape. I'll never get tired of watching it. 

[Tony Moanero]

Didn’t need to think about this one - The Jungle Book and Bonnie & Clyde.

 

Edit. I’m a tit! I’m half asleep and forgot that it’s one vote per group. 

[Red Shift]

The Great Dr. Strangelove

[Ranxerox]

Dr. Strangelove for me but this was definitely a tough group. 

[Pidge]

Dr Strangelove for me.

Great Escape pips Psycho for me.

Psycho is the best film here.

I think I've only seen the original once. Gave the remake a go with Vince Vaughan not long ago and it was dreadful! I was torn between Great Escape and The Jungle Book. I originally voted for The Great Escape when nominating so stuck with that but The Jungle Book is a great film.

Tough group, this. Every one of those films are ones I can watch repeatedly. Strangelove is the masterpiece for me, though.

I see Psycho as one of the most important films ever for two main reasons, one is that it helped move horror stories from supernatural to realistically plausible, the other is a masterful play with the viewers instinct to identify with characters regardless of moral implications. As if Hitchcock wanted to show us that he can manipulate us to root for anybody, because as an audience, our allegiances are fickle.

First you root for the runaway character who stole money, then there is a shock of a main characters getting killed in the first act (getting away with this would alone be enough to call it a masterpiece) then you root for the character who is trying to hide the murder to protect his mother, a twist, and  you root for his adversary, the sister of the main character against your previous "favourite". It is also impeccably paced and directed (if grim in atmosphere, which tends to put people off)  and I have only now come to mention that iconic shower scene, which is a huge bonus, cherry on the cake. But it is all about the cake here.

That too. And the sound.

[Toxteth O'Grady]

DR. Strangelove, without a doubt, one of the greatest films ever made.
