Tootsie is really funny–I love Dustin Hoffman! I highly recommend Schindler’s List and Gone with the Wind (even though it’s super long!) I’m surprised Lauryn hasn’t made you watch it! heheh

Alas, I don’t have time to make my own list at the moment. Finals week is looming. Grrr. I can’t believe you’ve never seen Schindler’s List! I introduced Lauryn to it when we lived together. I’m a history and WWII-period nut, so any movie that combines the two is big on my list. Singing in the Rain will surely be on my favs list as well. Yeah, it’s sappy, but the tap dancing makes my heart go pitter-patter.

Yeah, I know…what’s my problem? My wife and I should make a concerted effort to get through some of these classics.

Really, you never saw these movies: Schindler’s List, Dr. Strangelove, The Godfather, Part II, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Network? You better make it a Blockbuster night tonight and rent them, they are all great.

Clockwork Orange was alright. It’s just one of those I wouldn’t want to sit through again.

And yes; I would classify myself as anti-musical…

Drew — Yeah, it was really tough to narrow some of those down. As to A Clockwork Orange, you didn’t like that one? I thought it was brilliant — messed up, but brilliant.

And some of your choices from #4…got a thing against musicals? I’m not crazy about WSS, by MFL is pretty funny.

Finally, #5…good picks. I thought about Braveheart and Passion, but decided not to. Totally forgot about Shawshank somehow. That should be on there.

Nice list!

1) Godfather, Star Wars, Jaws, Amadeus & Raiders of the Lost Ark

2) Unforgiven, Fargo, The Deer Hunter, A Clockwork Orange & Raging Bull

3) Lawrence of Arabia, The Graduate, Dr. Strangelove, Midnight Cowboy & Vertigo

4) My Fair Lady, From Here To Eternity, West Side Story, Annie Hall, All About Eve

5) The Shawshank Redemption, Passion of the Christ, Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart & Chariots of Fire

That really was tough. There were a lot more films I appreciated, but it was hard just picking 5. Also, My Top 5 Faves That Aren’t On The List are in addition to yours. Good picks.

And I just watched American Graffiti last month for the first time. Wasn’t too bad. You might like it.
