Top Ten Films

[Typical Lax Dad]

Did you see A Simple Favor?

Watched it yesterday. Good, not great. but thank you.

Not a great film but entertaining..... Blake Lively's character was fantastic. A lot of hard edged women like that in the city. Plus her wardrobe was clean.

It's impossible to pare all my favorite films down to 10 so I started arranging them in categories. Most of these flicks I've watched dozens of times which get better each time I watch them--especially the first 6.

The Long Hot Summer (1958)
12 Angry Men (1957)
Roman Holiday (1953)
On The Waterfront (1954)
A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
Love with the Proper Stranger (1963)
Stalag 17 (1953)
It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
Advise & Consent (1962)
Anatomy of a Murder (1959)


Honorable Mention

Baby Doll (1956)
Bad Day at Black Rock (1955)
Splendor in the Grass (1961)
To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
Help! (1965)
A Patch of Blue (1965)
The Apartment (1960)

Here's one of my favorite scenes from On The Waterfront. Note how Brando turns to address Martin Balsam multiple times, he uses the more awkward larger radius in turning to his right in a brilliant and not so subtle demonstration of contempt. Of such things are my favorite films made up of.

Woody Allen movies

Sleeper
Interiors
Manhattan
Crimes and Misdemeanors
Match Point
Love and Death
Annie Hall
A Midsummer Night’s Sex Comedy
Hannah and her Sisters
A Rainy Day in New York

Woody wrote some great lines. Too many to recount. One I always thought was funny, even more so after I had been married and had kids, was from Sleeper. If you recall, Miles Monroe (Woody) is frozen for 200 years and brought back to life in a futuristic society. Luna Schlosser (Diane Keaton) asks him at one point, "You really haven't had sex for 200 years?" Miles replies, "204 if you count my marriage."

Woody wrote some serious films that were great as well. Interiors, Crimes and Misdemeanors and Match Point--all very serious, each very good.

For me Major League could replace Brian Piccolo, League of their Own (personally think wildly overrated as is Penny Marshall but that’s just me) or even Bad News Bears if we’re going comedy on comedy.

Never heard of it. I'm 59 so it may be a generational thing. Plus, these lists are all personal. I'm not rating what I think the top 10 should be in any given category, just my personal favorites.

Yeah--The Accused was great for the performances of Jodie Foster and Kelly McGillis. They both had some great scenes. And I appreciate that justice was served in the end.

Idiocracy is a terrible 2000s movie. Just felt like we were living it on
The real work recently so was kidding on that one .
