Now we have this.
How do you like that changey thing?
I probably should write something deep and profound about the 2009 Oscar nominees but since the nearest I have come to an adult move in the last 12 months was taking my grandson to see “Indiana Jones and the Support Hose….” No, wait. I did purchase a DVD of “Gran Torino.” Gesh. Pukingly PC.
And of course everyone has to have their “best” list.
Why?
Movies should be enjoyed. I get an immediate gag reflex whenever I hear or read some nummy nummy opining deeply about a movie. Color me insensitive but I just don’t give a flip about the motives of the leading man and if he is known to a mouthy Leftie … well, I just can’t enjoy giving him fame and money to bad mouth the country at every chance.
Especially when 99% of them have less education than a typical fast food joint manager and even less common sense.
So the movies on my list are old. OLD. But hey, so am I.
Westerns….. High Noon, Shane, True Grit, Lonesome Dove
War….Patton, Lawrence of Arabia, Band of Brothers, Zulu, Stalag 17, The Great Escape, Twelve O'Clock High
Drama… Godfather 1 and 2, Treasure of Sierra Madre, Smiley’s People, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Historical…Gone With the Wind, Ben Hur, Cleopatra, HBO’s Rome 1 and 2, Braveheart
SciFi ….Star Wars 1 and 2, Blade Runner
Crime…Goodfellas, The French Connection, Chinatown
Comedy...The Money Pit (only because I have lived it) and Caddyshack (the best golfing movie ever made)
Special category... all the Eastwood spaghetti westerns and Dirty Harry movies....
And yes, I know some were made for TV, but so what. They were and are great entertainment… and isn’t that what counts?
