ness Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 About 10 years ago I started keeping a list of my favorite movies. At first I tried ranking them, but found that I couldn't pick a favorite, much less list them in order. So, I picked out the top 5 (as of right now) to post. As you can see, there were some ties 12 Angry Men 61* Band of Brothers Fargo Forrest Gump The Godfather The Godfather Part II High Noon It's a Wonderful Life Lonesome Dove Monty Python and the Holy Grail No Country for Old Men North by Northwest Patton Raising Arizona Saving Private Ryan Seabiscuit Schindler's List The Searchers The Sixth Sense The Quiet Man To Kill a Mockingbird Truman I pasted this from the list, which is sorted alphabetically. So, what's your top 5? N9BOW 1 John
Terrierman Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 1. Citizen Kane 2. To Kill a Mockingbird 3. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid 4. Silverado 5. Unforgiven only five is really hard ness 1
rps Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 You have three of my top five on your list. The two John Wayne's, The Quiet Man and The Searchers, and my number one, To Kill a Mockingbird. Apocalypse Now is in my five as is Casablanca. Lawrence of Arabia is a near miss. For a real change of pace worth thinking about add Million Dollar Baby. Terrierman and ness 2
ness Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Looking at the list, I see some patterns: History 6; Coen brothers 4; War 4; Tom Hanks 3; Western 3; John Ford 2; John Wayne 2; John
MeatintheFreezer Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 If I were to be completely honest, I would have to say that I have never stopped and tried to compile a list of my favorite movies. Now that I have spent a few minutes tossing this around, I'm going to have to agree with you on a few of those. American Sniper - I remeember when this movie was over, the theater had an almost uncomfortable silence. Nobody knew whether to stand up and salute, or cry, or applaud, are any combination of those. A Few Good Men Saving Private Ryan The Sixth Sense Tombstone Grand Toreno The Shawshank Redemption The green Mile Se7en and just incase my wife is reading this..... The Notebook. I would have listed The Passion of the Christ, but I thought the book was better! Daryk Campbell Sr and ness 2 Remember - If at first you DO succeed, try not to act surprised & quit while you're ahead.
ness Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 1. Citizen Kane 2. To Kill a Mockingbird 3. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid 4. Silverado 5. Unforgiven only five is really hard Every one of those is great. Only exception is the 'raindrops keep falling on my head' scene in butch Cassidy. John

Apocalypse Now is in my five as is Casablanca. Lawrence of Arabia is a near miss. For a real change of pace worth thinking about add Million Dollar Baby. I trimmed Casablanca off by bigger list. The others, and I'm embarrassed to admit this, I haven't seen --at least all the wy through. John
ness Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Aahh! I forgot Unforgiven! Very good one, need to add it to my big list. John
Terrierman Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Looking at the list, I see some patterns: History 6; Coen brothers 4; War 4; Tom Hanks 3; Western 3; John Ford 2; John Wayne 2; The only Coen Brothers movie I rate really high is No Country for Old Men. Give me the original True Grit for example. Qunten Tarantino has made some good stuff. Jackie Brown gets my vote for his best movie.
