Dead Poet's Society

Braveheart

Titanic, or Moll Flanders... (serious brownie points to males that are willing to sit down and watch either of them on a whim, since they're total chick-flicks).

 

[Said1]

Coal Miner' Daughter.


I know, I know. Lame.

Don't ask me why.

Hey.. I forgot about that one.. Ok, maybe it's too hard to pick a single all time favorite movie...

 

[Said1]

It is too hard and I forgot to ad Grease to the list.


Those are movies I've liked since I was a kid. Jaws is anothor one.

 

[Shattered]

Footloose, too...

 

[Said1]

And Blue Hawaii

and the Breakfast Club

and


Uncle Buck

and

most Vincent Price movies.

And Fast Times At Ridgemont High, and there's just never going to be any end now...

Bull Durham.

You bunch of lollygaggers!

North By Northwest - I consider this to be Alfred Hitchcock's best film

Gataca - a very under rated movie, but I believe that they'll be still talking about this one in 100 years

Forbidden Planet - believe it or not, this is the movie that the original "Star Trek" was based on

Star Wars Episode IV - before George Lucas went over to the "dark side"

Duck Soup - The Marx Brothers' funniest movie (and I have to say, Margaret Dumont was especially fetching in this one!)

Lord of the Rings (all three) - this is destined to be a classic

A Christmas Story - what can I say? It's just plain ol' funny and wears well with each additional viewing!

Speaking of comedies -- I can't pick of favorite of the King of Comedy, Charlie Chaplin. His Mutual Shorts are classics - "The Immigrant", "The Floor Walker", "The Cure", "The Rink". If you watch them, you'll soon realize who Lucille Ball, The Marx Brothers and several generations of comedians learned their craft from.

The Ten Commandments - Charlton Heston was good, but Yul Brenner was even better ("... so let it be written.... so let it be done!")

Blade Runner --- I haven't watched this one in almost 15 years, but I believe this was Harrison Ford's finest role.

"The Great Train Robbery/A Trip to the Moon" -- it's neat to watch these films because they were done when cinema was in its infancy, some of the techniques that we take for granted were still evolving.

I really liked Gatca and I'm not normally interested in that type of movie. I probably couldn't find the remote or something.

And Fast Times At Ridgemont High, and there's just never going to be any end now...

Now THAT is a cool movie.
