Ten Best Movies

I suppose everybody has a ten best movies list. I wouldn't bother people with my list, except that I promised to provide it, so here it is (the order is only approximate) :

1. Dune, the diLorentis version
2. Blade Runner, with Harrison Ford
3. The Gods Must Be Crazy. (in the foreign film category)
4. Airplane! with Lesley Nielsen
5. The Day the Earth Stood Still, Michael Rene
6. Aliens (first in the series) with Sigourney Weaver
7. Lord of the Rings, by Peter Jackson
8. My Fair Lady, with Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn
9. Princess Bride, with Peter Falk
10. The Matrix, by the Wachowski Bros.
11. What Dreams May Come, with Robin Williams
12. The Wizard of Oz, Judy Garland
13. You've Got Mail, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan (this one always makes me cry)
14. Patton, with George C. Scott
15. Monsters, Inc. (by Pixar Studios)

Okay. That's more than ten, but I have every one of these movies either on DVD or VHS. They're the sort of thing one can't live without. Too many Sci Fi pieces in the list, I guess, and there are some good ones I didn't mention, like, "Pride and Prejudice" with Keira Knightley, and some great classics like "Miracle on 34th Street", and "Singing in the Rain" with Gene Kelley. Gosh, those were good. But, for better or worse, when I think "The Best Movies I've ever seen," the ones that leap to my mind first are these ten. (Okay, fifteen.)

I like love stories. What great love stories have I missed? Oh yes... Brad Pitt. Anthony Hopkins. (Don't you just love Anthony Hopkins?) Susan Parrish. "Meet Joe Black." Hard to watch this movie, it really stirs up the emotions.

Darn. I guess I've messed up the list. Oh well. Serves me right for trying.
