Midnight Run really was a classic. I forgot that one but Grodin and De Niro had great chemistry together. I had the pleasure of meeting Grodin in a one on one setting and got to talk with him for a couple hours. He was nothing but pleasurable and willing to discuss all his movies.

That's cool. Grodin always struck my as a really interesting guy.

Expand ...

Since I gave up partying on St. Paddy's years ago, watching "The Quiet Man" that day (it's always on some channel) has become a tradition. Always an enjoyable watch.

My brother serviced Grodin's furnace for years. Said he was a really friendly guy. They sometimes drank beers in the garage. Brother also said he was surprised how normal Keith Richards is IRL. He has had some not-very-nice celebs though.

Love grandmas boy.
 
Although not quite a movie by today’s standards in terms of length, I would be remiss not including the Marx brothers
duck soup
horsefeathers
 
I’m always surprised by how few people put Good Will Hunting on their favorites list. I’d say I left that movie more certain that I’d just seen something really good than any other. Critics agreed. Granted, there are some great movies that are deeper, funnier, more intense and so on, but overall that was a very entertaining 2 hours. Like Forrest Gump, it was just totally satisfying.

That's what burner accounts are for.
 
1) The Wizard of Oz
2) The Apartment
3) The Caine Mutiny
4) To Kill a Mockingbird
5) Giant
6) Shane
7) October Sky
8) The Sound of Music

12) How Green was my Valley
13) My Fair Lady
14) A Passage To India

I put these in order of where I thought they should be ranked. If there was a 17-20, I would definitely add The Swimmer, Shawshank Redemption, King Kong, and M*A*S*H in that order.



Others that come awfully close, really splitting hairs after #10.........Places in the Heart, M*A*S*H, Gigi, Top Hat, The Quiet Man, King Kong, Schindlers List, Bringing Up Baby, It Happened One Night, Dr Zhivago, James Whale's "The Bride of Frankenstein", The Swimmer, Ben Hur, Casablanca, Shawshank Redemption, An Officer and a Gentleman, To Be Or Not To Be, Alien.......and many others.
