Well, here's my top ten movies: (no particular order)
Outlaw Josey Wales: Eastwoods character is just so calm and cool while gunning down half of the West and taking revenge for his murdered family. Best Line: You boys gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?
Cast Away: A lot of people didn't care for this one, but I love how the character goes from having the perfect life...to losing it all, to finding hope in the end. I love the ending, standing at the crossroads and trying to figure out which path to take.
Airplane: Nothing but wackiness and one liners! You can't help but laugh at this one no matter how many times you watch it. A Classic!
Shrek 2: First of all, the shrek movies were made for adults, not kids...the blending of the story with the soundtrack is perfect. I loved the 1st one also, but the 2nd is much better in my opinion.
The Shining: One of Nicholson's best performances ever IMHO. This is a dated movie, but I can still watch it over and over and it never bores me.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Quite possibly the best western movie ever made! Shows just how ruthless things could be in the early days of the wild west. (If you haven't figured it out, I really love watching Clint Eastwood)
SAW: Very graphic, and plenty of twists. Keeps you thinking throughout the movie. (this may eventually drop off my list, but everyone has at least one newer movie on their list that made an impact with them)
Tootsie: Such a great cast! Dustin Hoffman was hilarious and maybe even outdid Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire!
Rocky: The ultimate "guy" film. Balboa is on the bottom, barely making a living and receives the chance of a lifetime. Trains hard and takes the World Heavyweight Champ a full 15 rounds before losing. But in losing he earns the respect of his opponent, and everyone else. The musical score to this movie is awesome and totally gets your blood pumping and has you ready to fight Apollo Creed when the final scenes come up!
Now I realize that is only 9, but I also have to list
Christmas Vacation (classic), Randy Quaid is awesome as the brother in law...and the scenes at the Hoover Damn keep me rolling. "Any questions? ... Yeah, Where's the Damn bait?"
I also give honorable mention to : Forrest Gump, Leon, Silence of the Lambs, Cape Fear. (I can never narrow these things down to 10!
)
...anyone ever see the movie Money Pit? Hilarious...that makes me wonder? Who is the greatest actor of all time? Don't you think that Tom Hanks has had some of the best roles...and shown some of the best range? I mean he did start out doing silly comedies...and now look at him! (although I'd have to consider Nicholson right up there!)
But, sexy? He's... old... and... he's... I don't understand how you could think of him as sexy? :?
