What's on your list? "The King and I"? "Lady and the Tramp"?

Nope.

First off, I don't watch movies very often -- maybe twice a month, if that. When I do, I watch four things, basically.

My Gilbert and Sullivan operetta set. Love those. Could watch them a hundred times and not get tired of them.

Shakespearean plays on video. Would prefer the real thing, but not available here, so videos have to do.

Comedies. Multiple viewings of Sister Act, Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Crocodile Dundee. The Gods Must be Crazy. The Mouse that Roared. British comedies. Things along that line.

And a few special dramas. Beckett. Lion in Winter. A Man for All Seasons. Pride and Prejudice. That ilk.

That about does it.

Godfather

If you have not seen the recut of "The Godfather" into a 7 hour sequenced movie, make sure you get it. It is a whole new experience. My sons, who had only seen cut versions of the three movies, were astounded at how good it is.

I think I have mentioned before that I have watched "LA Confidential at least 10 times. The depth of the set and art direction pull me back, plus the density of the story.

I went so far as to visit the set locations in LA. The main ones are business's and homes in local neighborhoods and available for a visit. The maps to them are on the DVD.
