These are films that I saw as a child that left deep impressions on me. This isn't so much a list of quality as it is of first impressions

Island of Terror (Night of the Silicates) (The Creepers)
Saw this at the drive-in on it's first release, and still a fun flick to watch. Rubber bodies, rubber silicates and Peter Cushing make for a few unintentional smiles, some good creepy moments and good late nite fun...

Ben-Hur (1959,  G)

The Ten Commandments (1956,  G)

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968,  G)
2001: A Space Odyssey
One of the great cinematic experiences of all time. A spiritual/philosophical journey tracing the history of man from a primate, to a slave of technology, and, once freeing himself of it, moves on to a new birth.

This is pure cinema where the viewer isn't spoon-fed a story, but is left to experience a visual thought-provoking feast and allowed to interpret it for him or herself.
