[PredFan]

Ok so i have to amend my list now:

In no particular order:

1. Gladiator
2. Braveheart
3. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
4. The 5th Element
5. Zulu
6. The Shawshank Redemption
7. The Green Mile
8. Forrest Gump
9. Casablanca
10. Airplane
11. Goodfellas
12. Tora Tora Tora
13. The Unforgiven
14. Predator
15. The Terminator
16. The Matrix

What was the point of The Green Mile?

Not really a point. It was just a great story.

 

[PredFan]

I cannot BELIEVE that none of ya'll mentioned Stripes.

I figured you'd say Animal House.

 

[PredFan]

Westerns
True Grit, but Glenn Cambell is a horrible actor and Kim Darby was worse.
High plain Drifter
Pale Rider
Treasure of the Serria madre
Little big man
Fist full of dollars
3:10 to Yuma
Rio Bravo
Magnificent seven
Fist full of dollars
Dancing with wolves
The good the bad and the ugly
Jerimiah Johson
not in any paticular order.

You left off the best one:

The Unforgiven

Outlaw Josey Wales was way better than Unforgiven...Clint got the mercy Oscar for that one.

Also forgot Once upon a Time in the West.

The Unforgiven is the best western of all time (IMO), followed closely by Pale Rider.

 

[PredFan]

The best movie that makes everyone who hears you say it say WTF??? is:

Tremors

I've seen it maybe 50 times. I know the whole dialog. Still quote from it today.

I just got done watching Casablanca, it's got to be in the top 3 anyway. I like a few others that you have there too.

Lawrence of Arabia

Especially from the perspective of USMB. No movie or story provides a more perfect metaphor for the interaction between 'the west' and the middle east. All the delusions, all the hubris, all the good intentions and and self-deception... genius.

In my top three also, if not #1. I'll toss in The Maltese Falcon.

And from a personal standpoint - as a profound affirmation of humanity revealed - "Joe vs. the Volcano"

No, I'm not kidding.

Loved South Pacific too. My father loved Mitzi Gaynor. He saw her in some show later in his life and he was in heaven!

One of my favs is Prince of Tides. The book was wonderfully written, it gave me goose bumps just to read, it had a life of it's own.
