Some of my longtime favorites, in no particular order: A Hard Days Night Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid 9 to 5 West Side Story Silence of the Lambs Romeo & Juliet (1968) Color Purple But I'm A Cheerleader! Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Thelma & Louise To Kill A Mockingbird Wizard of Oz Rear Window Godfather I and II Black Klansman Like Water for Chocolate Glory Road Million Dollar Baby All the President's Men With lockdown now in second year I've been streaming movies. Some that I never got around to seeing before and liked: To Catch a Thief (Cary Grant, Grace Kelly, AND a cat, what's not to love?) The Man Who Knew Too Much (actually he was rather dim, his wife much smarter) The Tale (very thought provoking about how a woman and her 13 year old self view same incident) Cape Fear (the original with Gregory Peck as good guy and Robert Mitchum as very bad guy) Marnie (one of Hitchcock's lesser known but worth seeing) Sure I'm leaving some out.
I didn't even touch on comedy....Jo Jo Dancer.(not a comedy but Pryor)....Planes Trains and Automobiles.....Dirty Rotten Scoundrels....the Blues Brothers....A Night at the Opera...Modern Times (Chaplin)...Indiana Jones...take your pick....they're all good ..Crocodile Dundee
The Rookie was great....so was the Natural but my alltime favorite sports movie was probably Hoosiers....I'd put the original Rocky on that list too
Weaver was perfect for it. His acting was superb especially in the diner scene. The psychology of that movie was beautiful. Being chased by an unseen spector in a cat and mouse game as the tension rises with each scene. Spielberg was genius directing his first movie. Using minimal elements, not relying on a large cast, but on sound and sight.
I was almost late getting back from break, lol, and didn't have time to type it. Suzanne Pleshette sure was a pretty little so-and-so.
Forgot to mention streaming Citizen Kane. Reminded me of the title of Mary Trump's book, Too Much and Never Enough. Yesterday saw Diabolique, a French flick from 1956. Wowzer, no way I saw that end coming.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was great. While there were a lot of great comedies I think the very best was I Was A Male War Bride was the best I ever saw.
Grumpy Old Men Who in here plays the John Gustafson (Jack Lemmon) and Max Goldman (Walter Matthau) characters? I'm not even gonna ask about Ariel Truax (Ann-Margaret). LOL I say (and will always say) Cup and Yankee. Not in that particular order.
Recently watched 'To Catch a Thief'. Solid Flick. My girlfriend is the real cinephile, so I'm just along for the ride most of the time.
