Lion King, Over the Hedge, Fox and Hound, The Bear, The Pacifier, Road to Eldorado. Guys, my mother was odd - decidedly so - and raised me different. I know how to match colors and find complements. I know names of fabrics. She took me to musicals and we watched more than Victor Mature on the television. While I prefer Clint Eastwood and John Ford and love the Coen brothers, my interest extends to other areas. I have been lucky enough to visit Broadway and the London equivalent.

MOPanfisher Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 RPS, hope I didn't sound like I was judging you, only spoken the truth, I don't know any musicals. However I do enjoy many of my kids movies
Johnsfolly Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Thanks for rejuvenating this thread. I know that I will have many more than five, but will focus on movies that impacted me or I'm willing to watch over and over. Psycho - still a suspensful movie Night of the living dead - original filmed in Pittsburgh PA. Had Chilly Willy as the reporter and still one of the most ironic endings. Jaws - everytime I would spearfish or go for lobsters in CT after seeing that movie, I thought that I would see a leg or arm under the rocks. The fugitive - I love Tommy Lee (except for Under Siege). I actually have two copies of this DVR and my family pick on me relentlessly about it. A Christmas Story - You'll shoot your eye out! The Outlaw Josey Wales - I'm glad you stopped me. I could have killed her! Love Chief George. Ok some more: Its a mad mad mad mad world - my family and I quote lines from this movie all of the time. Caddyshack - You should gett a bowl of soup with this hat. Dr Strangelove - I'm feeding you Jack. The Pink Panther - Peter Sellers at his best. Blazing Saddles - We almost lost a $400 handcart. The Shining - All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Scatman gets the axe. So much for for Hong Kong Fooey. Mr Roberts - A great Henry Fonda movie Mistah! The Caine Mutiny - Jose Ferrer punching Fred MacMurray was an awesome scene. Arsenic and Old Lace - They have more than you Johnny. The Godfather and II - nothing more to say. Alien - excruciating to watch John Hurt's chest explode. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - gotta love Nurse Ratchet Young Frankenstein - There there wolf! Little Big Man - A little known Dustin Hoffman classic also has Chief George American Werewolf in London - Everytime I'm in the London tubes I expect to see the werewolf at the base of the escalator. The Producers - The fuhrer now he was a painter. He could paint this entire flat in one afternoon. Two coats. The McClintocks - No whiskey. We go now. The Incredibles - The Dash likes! Some Like it Hot - Jack Lemon carried this movie. Its a Wonderful Life - what can you say about this classic? Stripes - Army training Sir! MOPanfisher, Mitch f and ness 3

Johnsfolly Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Some Guilty Pleasure Movies Johnny Dangerously - Its an 88 magnum! It shots through schools! You fargin icehole! Die Hard - another Christmas classic. The Quiet Man - could have gone on my first list Vacation - I actually read the story in National Lampoon magazine before ever seeing the movie. Wildcats, Foul Play, Bird on a Wire, or any other Goldie Hawn movie. Paint your Wagon Fletch - Just bill it to the Underhills. Are you a cop? As far as you know! Men in Black movies Back to the Future Planet of the Apes - Heston version. Get your hands off of me you filthy animal! Finding Nemo - Its a fish movie and my daughter said I had to put this on the list The Old Man and the Sea - such a sad fishing story. Angel and the Bad Man - unsung John Wayne movie
Johnsfolly Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 I can't believe that I missed Ness' namesake movie searching for that most holy of Grrrails!! Probably the most quoted movie in our household. ness 1
Flysmallie Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Lots of good movies on that list. Men in Black, I have totally wore out "We're not hosting an intergalactic kegger down here." I love Young Frankenstein. I have it on Beta, VHS, DVD, and Blue Ray. I'm taking my 12 year old daughter to see it on the big screen on the 30th. I just told her we were going to see a movie about Frankenstein with the original Willy Wonka. She has no idea what she is in for. Here are a couple of newer ones from two of my favorite directors. My family doesn't have the same taste in movies as I do so I had to see these by myself. It was their loss. ness and Johnsfolly 2

Not necessarily in order: Holiday Inn Gigi Cabaret Chicago Momma Mia Laugh if you will, but the genre has endured ever since talkies. Anyone else willing to admit they know the words? Not gonna laugh. If I know the words I don't know from where. Don't believe I've seen any of these. John
