SallyBrown: I'm surprised to see TRAINSPOTTING. You really liked that? Did you read the book? I read the book before I saw the movie - and the movie is a total bastardization of the book. Check out the book, it's great.

Jose: Does it really matter? Come on...

Connor---That's such a great, eclectic list! Charade? Very sophisticated. Have you tried any of the Hitchcock films yet? I was just about your age (entering college) when I fell in love with them. Try Vertigo and Rear Window, if you haven't already. And there are plenty more great ones. (I don't know if they'll end up on your Top Ten list or not.)

rose&lark---God love ya for listing Newsies! If I had more guts I'd probably list "Lost Horizon" in my Ten (the '73 bomb musical by Bacharach). I fell in love with it as a child and never got it out of my system! Critics, be damned!

Some fascinating choices by all!

Tir...a Lars Von Trier fan...but why no Breaking The Waves?

And CM2, you got some big ones calling out someone's choices when you got Hawaii and Airport on your list...lol...ask Pauline Kael about The Sound of Music while you're at it...:)

****Tir...a Lars Von Trier fan...but why no Breaking The Waves? ****

While I like "Breaking the Waves" it is not one of my favorites of Von Trier. If I was going to add another Von Trier piece it would be "Riget" (even though it was a mini)

I wasn't calling anyone out on their choices. As for that Kael, she's exactly where she belongs!

[peach]

Posted: 10/17/05 at 1:22pm

Here goes:

The Usual Suspects
Goodfellas
The Godfather
Ocean's 11
With Honors
Field of Dreams
Pulp Fiction
The Blues Brothers
12 Angry Men
The Sixth Sense
Dangerous Liaisons

My tastes vary, as you can see. Of that list, I think Goodfellas is probably my favorite.

[ConvinceMe2]

Posted: 10/17/05 at 1:23pm

Actually, peach, I'm not seeing a big variety in your taste. Lots of films about criminals.

[justme2]

Posted: 10/17/05 at 1:25pm

Movies are subjective to moods, so a best list is hard to do. I'll give it a shot:

Dodsworth
The Crowd
Now Voyager
The Unknown
42nd Street
The Graduate
Modern Times
The Women
Blonde Crazy
The Awful Truth

[ConvinceMe2]

Posted: 10/17/05 at 1:28pm

I just realized that, with the exception of BLOW OUT, all the other films on my top 10, were extremely popular during their releases. 3 of them were the biggest money-makers for the year they were released! I like popular films, I guess.

[peach]

Posted: 10/17/05 at 1:28pm

Convinceme - huh - never realized that. I guess I like to watch a good heist at the movies.

But Field of Dreams and With Honors and Sixth Sense? No criminals there - but the rest of 'em, I guess you are right.

Maybe it's because I grew up with three brothers. No chick flicks for this chick.

[ConvinceMe2]

Posted: 10/17/05 at 1:30pm

LOL, peach. Well, Bruce Willis does get shot in THE SIXTH SENSE.

[peach]

Posted: 10/17/05 at 1:33pm

And there you go...Bruce Willis did get shot in Sixth Sense indeed. I guess I like thrillers and mobs and heists.

I did like 13 Going on 30. Does that count for something? :)

Singin' in the Rain

ConvinceMe2 & bustinloose --- I've always heard opposites attract.

Oh, and bustinloose --- So glad you mentioned "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Mad World!" That (big, dumb) movie makes me smile just saying the title. Whenever I watch it, I feel like I was invited to this old-school "legend" party where everyone's hanging out and goofing off. And it actually makes a lot of sense... after a couple of cocktails.

Some of these titles that you're posting are making want to ditch work, nuke a giant bowl of popcorn, and fire up the DVD player. Great choices.

It's raining here in L.A. today, so it's the perfect day for it!
