Despite all his flaws, Woody Allen knows how to put together a good film.

Before I saw that movie I only knew him from cheesy TV fare like Space: 1999.

Dr. Strangelove

2001: A Space Odyssey

They Live!

Assault On Precinct 13 (1976 original) - BTW, currently on YouTube movies, free with ads

Idiocracy

*Enemy Of The State

If any of these is on the TV when I'm channel surfing, I watch it:

Casablanca (1942)

The Third Man (1949)

The Lion in Winter (1968)

Touch of Evil (1951)

Dr. Strangelove (1964)

Suddenly Last Summer (1959)

Notorious (1946)

Deception (1946)

Jumanji (1995)

I see new things each time I watch it.

I've watched it many times over the years and never tire of it.

My best Western is Silverado.
My best thriller is North By Northwest.

I know I'm in the small, small minority on this one...but I just don't think Godfather II is a very good movie. It's predictable - since so much of it takes place before Godfather I - with very little action and rehashes of the same characters whose arcs will complete in the first film. Maybe if Clemenza had been the foil, as originally intended... Godfather I, yes, wonderful. Godfather II...nah...

This is, of course, why there are many kinds of movies. People's taste can vary so much

The War of the Worlds (1953)
The Wall (Pink Floyd)
Bringing up Baby
Doctor Zhivago (1965)

The Onion Field

The Pianist

Thelma & Louise

Black Hawk Down

Legends of the Fall

And I would certainly hope that the "European Stuff" includes "The Lives Of Others."

Gone with the Wind

Last of the Mohicans with Daniel Day Lewis

Saving Private Ryan
Up in Smoke

Editing to include the first and last of The Matrix movies, which were amazing. The middle two were formulaic and very meh for me.

Key Largo, To Have and Have Not, Dark Passage, Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story, and Club Paradise are some of my favorites.

1) A Shot in the Dark ( Peter Sellers ...breaks the 4th wall)

2) Casablanca (Humpty of course)

3) Monkey Business (Cary Grant Ginger Rogers)

4) A New Leaf (Walter Matthew Elaine May)

5) Seabiscuit (Jeff Bridges Tobey McGuire)

6) The Money Pit (Tom Hanks Shelley Long)
