I’m AMAZED at the lack of the original Star Wars movies on these lists! Looks like the LOTR has taken over the “geek” section of everyone’s movie lists!

Here are mine in no particular order…

LOTR - Fellowship & TTT
Star Wars 4 & 5
Princess Bride
Godfather
Braveheart
Glory
Pulp Fiction
The Mummy - dont know why, but watch it anytime its on TV
Some Kind of Wonderful
Aliens
The Departed

56

Oh, and Poltergeist!

57

Subject to change without notice. Of course, these are the films I can watch over and over, not the ten films that I think are the best I have ever seen.

In no particular order:

The Wicker Man
Pirates of the Caribbean 3
Ronin
The Hunt for Red October
Persuasion (Ciaran Hinds version)
The Incredibles
LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring
Muppet Treasure Island (also my favorite singalong film)
Six-String Samurai
Yojimbo

If I could add one more, it would be Alfred Hitchcock’s Notorious

58

In order of how many times I’ve rewatched it (most of these are countless :slight_smile: !)

1.Whoops- edited to add- can’t believe I almost forgot- although not sure if it counts, as a miniseries- Lonesome Dove
2. Trainspotting
3. The Godfather
4. Sense & Sensibility
5. Persuasion (with Ciaran Hinds/Amanda Root)
6. Pride & Prejudice (BBC/Colin Firth)
7. Office Space
8. Empire Strikes Back
9. Star Wars
10. The Shawshank Redemption

Notorious belongs on there somewhere too- I couldn’t just do 10

59

I think of it like this. The original trilogy is like the girl everybody was in love with back in high school. Back then, she was sweet, innocent, and irresistible.

Now she’s on her third husband, second face-lift, and smokes like a chimney.

It’s hard to keep that same feeling, you know?

Note: this is coming from someone who did have an OT entry on his list.

60

“Chinatown”
“Citizen Kane”
“Dr. Strangelove”
“The Maltese Falcon”
“Patton”
“Rear Window”
“Red River”
“Sorcerer”
“The Third Man”
“The Wild Bunch”

and if I get to take 11, “You’ll Find Out” (Holy crap kitemaker_chuck! I thought I was the only person on the planet who loves that silly movie! I watched it on TV probably 40 years ago to see Karloff, Lorre, and Lugosi, and discovered Kay Kyser and Ish Kabibble instead!)
