TV Guide's 50 Greatest Movies

Add to my lists | Print this list

TV Guide Magazine (August 8-14, 1998 issue) offers their picks for the perfect flicks to catch on television or pop into your VCR. From hundreds of the magazine’s four-star titles, they chose the movies that play particularly well on the small screen and hold up to repeated viewings. Their one golden standard: how much fun they are to watch. These are the films—from Chaplin to Hanks, Kane to Vader—that represent the Hollywood dream machine at its most inspired. They have plenty of monsters and heroes, saints, sinners and, of course, more than a gangster or two.
