My top ten films

[FlyersFan]

Nothing after 1974?

Some that I like.
Like Ideocracy and the Johnny Depp Pirates movies, etc.
But none that make the top ten.

The movies I rewatch regularly, so which could be considered as my top favourites, but there are countless movies that I would still enjoy watching again today. Really too many to mention as I also like foreign films mostly French and Japanese.

Contact (Sci-fi that isn't blood and gore)
Frequency (I like time travel movies)
Almost all of Judy Garland's movies - she was a very talented actress/singer; The Harvey Girls, In the Good Ole Summertime, Summer Stock etc.)
Star Trek: First Contact (My fav.)
The Taming of the Shrew (Burton/Taylor)
Babette's Feast
Forbidden Planet
Things to Come (Wash, Rinse, Repeat of the human condition)
Detective Movies/Series (Agatha Christie, Ms. Marple, Murder She Wrote, Colombo, Hercule Poirot)
Classic British and American Movies; Madeleine (1950), Scrooge 1951, Nicholas Nickleby, Northanger Abbey, Dorian Grey, Miracle on 34th Street, White Christmas, Ben Hur, Ten Commandments, movies about Jesus, etc.

Off topic, but I loved Vincent Price movies when I was a kid.  My father met him one night while bartending and got an autograph for me.

Yeah, Apocalyse Now was/still is a very good movie, yet very disturbing and The Shining. Those are the two movies I can watch over and over again probably due to the psychological aspects and not just the horror.

My desert island list, as of this morning:

- No movies
- No television shows
- A knife
- A hatchet
- The Boy Scout Handbook
- The Holy Bible
- Thus Spoke Zarathustra
- The Brothers Karamazov
- Some rope

I don't get many dates.

"What you would do on a desert island" or  "Omega human" threads are also fun.

Any thread that promotes outside the box answers encouraging individuality in responses.

Love the Shining.

Christmas Day, we always watch the Grinch and Love Actually.

Boxing Day - the Great Escape.  Seen it many times.  But Gordon Jackson's character always falls for the "Good luck" thing..... you'd think he would have learned by now.....

Love Actually was okay or rather 'so-so' IMO.

The Great Escape didn't leave me wanting more or to watch it again.

The Grinch cartoon or with Jim Carrey?

Jim Carrey.  Who I usually loathe.

Love Actually makes me cry!
