Peter Ibbetson

Arsenic and Old Lace

Treasure of Siera Madre

Deer Hunter

Cool Hand Luke

Once Upon A Time in America

Young Frankenstein

Amadeus

Private Ryan

Platoon



It was very hard leaving some out...in fact there may be some I enter over some here ...later.



I was really vexed over leaving out Friday the 13th.....the 56th Final Chapter....but something had to go.

ArlJim78 02-22-2008 02:07 PM

didn't see any new releases this year, but really had wanted to see No Country For Old Men. To me Bardem is a big talent

I stumbled on a classic this year, Idiocracy. I had never heard about it and caught it on cable one night just because it was by Mike Judge. I don't remember when I laughed so hard.

my current top 10

The Godfathers 1 and 2
The Grapes of Wrath
It's a Wonderful Life
American Graffiti
The Big Lebowski
The Straight Story
2001 a Space Odyssey
The Elephant Man
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Chariots Of Fire

that's a good list. never heard of or saw Peter Ibbetson so can't throw it out, but wouldn't throw the other 9 out that's for sure.

All these lists are a matter of personal choice of course, the Godfather appears frequently when folks make such lists...probably the one movie(s) that most can agree on! One of the first lists that I've actually seen every one...the only movie that I have problems with is The Big Lebowski, my friend brought the DVD over one night and we watched it...he loves it, me...well, not so much! Again, personal taste but I simply don't get it...all those times we were stoned in the 60's, to think we could have made a movie...
I'm a TV-first guy of course, think that movies simply can't compare to a good TV show but I suspect most feel differently.

Thank you so much.

PI was made in 1929 with Gary Cooper.





I believe it was the first time Hollywood revealed it was expreimenting with hallucinogens.

Thank you warp nose.



Abrams really stole it ...I thought. He was great as he usually is.

I received great inspiration from this film and incorporate it into my fine work.

I think the best movie of the year this year was clearly The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. If you can't tolerate subtitles you might not like it, but it is truly a brilliant film. The guy that directed it (Julian Schnabel) won the Golden Globe and is nominated for an Oscar. They'll probably give it to some clown that directed a movie that got more hype, but he deserves it.

It certainly belongs on your list ahead of Saving Private Ryan.

Mortimer 02-22-2008 02:41 PM

I should say my disdain for "modern" theaters keeps me away form seeing new releases. The Colony here closed a few years ago and stole my delight for those great 2500 seat with balcony and big screen edifices.It was the last one standing.


I should have been born back in the early part of last century.

How can something that ruins everything be called progr$ss?

Be careful what you wish for.




No one likes me.

They wouldn't like you.
