Not that I have anything better to do–in fact I do–but since Mr. Last posed the question, herewith my list:
(1) Goodfellas
(2) The Godfather Part 2
(3) The Godfather
(4) Almost Famous – Isn’t this how every writer wishes he got his start?
(5) When Harry Met Sally – It’s the story of me and my wife. I play the role of Sally.
(6) Raiders of the Lost Ark
(7) Jaws
(8) Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
(9) The Empire Strikes Back
(10) As Good As It Gets – “What makes it so hard is not that you had it bad, but that you’re that pissed that so many others had it good.” That about sums up my attitude on life.
Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the old black-and-whites, but they just don’t do it for me. It’s hazy, gray, and worst of all, if there are any children in the picture, they usually can’t act to save their life. (Case in point, the daughter in Gone With The Wind.) As for honorable mentions, I’ll throw in Any Given Sunday, Shawshank Redemption, Big Night, Heat, and Schindler’s List.
