<![CDATA[Name your favorite movies]]>For me, the top movie is Casablanca.....action, sex, suspense....there is nothing to not like about that movie IMO. It's perfect. I could watch that movie weekly.

Taxi Driver...the study of a psycho is always a interesting view if done right, and that was done right.

The Wizard of OZ....I know, I know, but it reminds me of sitting on the couch, eating popcorn and drinking Coke with my Mom, so it's on the list! 😉

One Flew Over the Coo Coos Nest..again...about perfect in every way...humorous yet tragic...hard to put those together.

Summer of 42....every kids dream

The Cowboys...I know a John Wayne movie...there is some solid writing in that movie with several scenes that are funny as hell.

Rear Window...the real one...Hitchcock at his best

I will add more if this gets any action.

I am in my 60's so I have seen a lot of movies over the last 55 years, so when i say a solid B+, that doesn't mean is was a "B" rate movie.

If people haven't seen it, it get's my thumbs up.

but the westerns are great, always good scenery,

even if it's a dumb "B" movie. GGG

🙂 Great acting, great plot. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it. I doubt the star (and about to become stars) power in one flick will ever be repeated. Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, John Cleese, Kevin Costner, Brian Dennehy, Danny Glover, and Jeff Goldblum.

I'll give this a bit more thought but rhese are some solid entries to my ten best.

THE GODFATHER

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE

WIZARD OF OZ

CASABLANCA

ROCKY

ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOOS NEST

ANNIE HALL

There are some I love that float in and out of the top ten OR don't stand up to that honor as years go by.

IE films I never sought out to see numerous times or did see often but question top ten of all time status after time.

Still great films.

FIELD OF DREAMS

THE ELEPHANT MAN

ROLLERBALL

Branagh's HAMLET

etc.

And it's hard to add a comedy but some examples of comedies I LOVE...

ANIMAL HOUSE

CADDYSHACK

STRIPES

DEFENDING YOUR LIFE

WSS

Love ya Steve, different strokes for different folks. I've probably seen 1\50th of the movies you have. I'm a Si-Fi action adventure guy. Yeah, I get Casablanca & Wizard of Oz, really liked Clockwork Orange & The Godfather. But I'd put Annie Hall (one of the few movies I've ever walked out on) and Last Picture Show in my 10 WORST. Other Oscar nominees of dishonorable mention- The Piano and Howard's End- add in Pulp Fiction and Fight Club to the list. No Comprendo.

In your second tier liked Elephant man, But I'll take Dances With Wolves over Field of Dreams (that I haven't survived in it's entirety yet)- but I've tried to- I just think the whole premise is stupid.

OK, I'm biased- I'm a Tolkien fan so the Lord of the Rings trilogy has to be #1 in my book. Other DVDs that I actually spent money on I would put in consideration are Gladiator and Braveheart. Saving Private Ryan is up there on my list- Tom Hanks got screwed out of another Best Actor award on that one IMHO. Scarface got mentioned- ditto.

[[Now there's plenty of stuff I wouldn't put in "Best Picture" category that I really liked- the Matrix Trilogy, Independence Day, Star Wars, 2001- Kill Bill I&II I could go on- but you get the general picture]]

I have a soft spot for westerns- guess my great-grandmother who couldn't speak (or understand) a word of English and would watch the Lone Ranger & Roy Rodgers all day filtered down to me- give me Silverado and Unforgiven there.

Bad PC incorrect humor- Blazing Saddles.
