Now this list has been revised and altered many times over the years but I think I have it to a point where if I had to write it down on paper and laminate it.....I would. Eventually I will come out with a list of the 50 or 100 greatest movies of all time after I get some feedback from you folks, but let me know what you think of my movie list and feel free to give me your top five. I will use it to help complile my list of 50 or 100. Without further adieu......(drumroll please):
1) The Godfather - An absolutely perfect movie. It has no flaws. The story is brilliant, the characters are incredible and the direction is superb. I don't think I'll have many disagreements here.
2) Braveheart - This movie has it all. Action, drama, love and even a little comedy. The fact that it is truth based makes it even more intriguing. William Wallace and his blue face paint will always give hope to the downtrodden (and haunt my dreams).
3) The Shawshank Redemption - I don't know about you, but I can never turn this movie off when it comes on. There is no better feeling for me than when Andy Dufresne sticks it to the warden. It doesn't hurt that Morgan Freeman narrates and co-stars. That man is brilliant!
4) Die Hard - Your classic action film. Bruce Willis is excellent as a wise-cracking bad-ass who isn't perfect but always finds a way to save the day. Hans Gruber.......best bad guy name ever!
5) Stalag 17 - I have to throw a modern day war-themed movie in here and this is the one. Excellent story that was very well acted. William Holden does a great job of making you hate him and turns out to be the good guy in the end.
Honorable Mention: The Matrix, Platoon, The Usual Suspects, Gladiator, Forrest Gump
I know I'm going to hear it for this one but I'm ready for it. Please comment away!
