Darling that is too much pressure for me. I've loved movies for many decades, and have forgotten so many I believe that would make me normal. "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" was classic to me, and I think you'd agree. You and I have so many in our brains don't we? Maybe ask me my favorite top 10 women I've dated. Could come closer on that one.

Tough choosing, but no matter how many times I've seen these, if I come across them on cable, I will watch them again to the end: Searching for Bobby Fischer Amadeus The Road Warrior The Shawshank Redemption Field of Dreams Lost in Translation O Brother Where Art Thou Glory Manon of the Spring Bull Durham

Oh, you are so good at lists. I am not. Wings of Desire and Groundhog Day are some of my favorites of all time. Last of the Mohicans. Blue. Tossup between Blue and Seven Samurai for the top, slight edge to Seven Samurai on video, heavy edge to Seven Samurai in the theater. AFN recently screened a very nicely remastered version with zero crud on it. Right now, I am very fond of Constantine, not sure it will last forever, though. I've seen pretty much everything on the various AFN lists and the other lists you can see on Netflix. I used to like Morgan, haven't seen it in forever. Just put it to the top of my queue.

I put in DISH so we could get Turner Classics and have very much enjoyed it, no commercials, they seem to be showing a few newer movies now though, I prefer the older ones. I'll watch anything with Doris Day, Katharine Hepburn, Myrna Loy, Carole Lombard, Cary Grant, Robert Montgomery, Edward G. Robinson, Joseph Cotton, and all Hitchcock .... the usuals I guess. Movies I can watch over and over - Mr. and Mrs. Smith ( Lombard and Montgomery ) The Philadelphia Story Desk Set The Lion In Winter State of the Union Adam's Rib ( 1949 ) The World of Suzie Wong Rear Window Vertigo The Thin Man Movies eleutheria, I suggested to our library that they ask people their 3 favorite books - naming 3 is harder than naming 10 <G>, and they were not allowed to name the Bible, since every politician in town would say the Bible ! Everyone found it an interesting survey and it was a big hit. :) Jo Ellen

Some of my favorites. No way could I rank them, but broke them out between top ten newer and older: Dances with Wolves The English Patient Gladiator Rain Man Girl on the Bridge Until the End of the World Wings of Desire Ride with the Devil Usual Suspects Awakenings Little Big Man 2001 A Space Odyssey The Day the Earth Stood Still Chariots of Fire Rear Window Vertigo Jean de Florette Gandhi The Godfather Casablanca And a few I just had to list, even though they didn’t make the top ten in either group: Men with Guns Matewan Manion of the Spring Body Heat The Hustler Blowup It’s a Wonderful Life A Bridge Too Far The Birds The Green Mile Forrest Gump Dead Man The Commitments Crimes and Misdemeanors Shawshank Redemption Eight Men Out Quest for Fire Rashomon Whew.. that was hard and I didn’t even restrict the list to just ten.. sorry. This was a good idea, though. I picked up several from others that I hadn't seen, so they go on the "to watch" list.
