TV Guide's 50 Greatest Movies

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.
