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.

Top Ten Classic Films before 1966
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.
"Awright, widdout the birdseed--whaddaya want?"

Re: Top Ten Films
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.OuttaNowhereWregget wrote: ↑Sat Aug 21, 2021 2:09 am Sports Movies

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.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 9:26 pmThe last one takes balls to acknowledge....OuttaNowhereWregget wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 7:46 pm Based on True Story

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.
