Goonies. Not only is it a fun movie but it reminds me of my childhood. Life is marching on.

The Departed just edges out Ghostbusters and Back to the Future.

If it’s admissible to include one narrative told across multiple films, it’s LOTR

The Lord of the Rings (as a whole film; as intended).

but Once Upon a Time in the West and The Stunt Man have been one and two for a good twenty years now for me.


Once Upon is my second.

The music, the dialogue.

And of course, Claudia Cardinale.

I would say Empire Strikes back and Raiders are my two most nostalgic movies I would love to go back and see for the first time. But I did enjoy the original Hangover in the theater as well for a comedy and something fun to see for the first time. A lot of good picks in here

Ben-Hur (1959). I watched it recently. It's greatness hasn't diminished after over 60 years. Still worth the 3 & 1/2 hours of your time.

Oscars for Best Picture, est Director, Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium, Best Cinematography-Color, Best Art Direction-Set Decoration-Color, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, Best Effects-Special Effects & Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture. Trailer on YouTube

Another movie from the same year, North by Northwest, is #2 for me. When I was a kid, I wanted to grow up and be Roger Thornhill. I wanted to say this to somebody: "Now you listen to me, I'm an advertising man, not a red herring. I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all by getting myself "slightly" killed."

The one time I went to Chicago, I was lucky enough to stay in the Ambassador East Hotel, which is featured in the movie. If I fell in love tomorrow, I'd plan a train trip and dress to the nines for it. Who wouldn't want to meet a spy like Eve Kendall on a train? Trailer on YouTube
