Some of my favorite movies...(omitting those already mentioned.)


Sunset Blvd. - I'm ready for my close up! Priceless!

Casablanca - They don't write 'em like this anymore.

The Blues Brothers - We're on a Mission from God.

2001 A Space Odyssey - Brilliant visual extravaganza...even if you aren't stoned.

Gone with the Wind - Probably the best ever.

Citizen Kane - Rosebud.

Wings - Silent film that will make you forget it's a silent film.

The Enemy Below - Great war movie.

Star Trek: The Wrath of Kahn - by itself it's enough to make a trekker out of almost anyone.

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring - The books made fantasy a respectable medium, the movie is just as good.

Major Paine - Hilarious primer on child rearing. Ridding the closet of monsters is a riot!

Ladyhawke - Love conquers all.

Excalibur - Camelot, Arther, Lancelot, Love, Betrayal, Revival...a great story well told.

The Maltese Falcon - The definitive detective story.

Airplane! - I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.

Young Frankenstein - Mel Brooks at his best, same for Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr, Peter Boyle, etc.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - Spaghetti Westerns, gotta love 'em

The Green Berets - John Wayne, War movie. Need I say more?

The Ten Commandments - Epic on the grand scale.

I'll stop now before I get carried away.

Maybe I'll post my worst list later...it's much shorter
