The Razors Edge (Tyronne Powers, not Bill Murray)

Forest Gump (It just kept getting better as it went along)

Oliver! (That whole scene at the beginning of the second half Who will buy this wondeful morning just takes my breath away...)

The Searchers (Best Western ever made)


Almost, but not quite, West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, ET, and the very first star wars because I saw it the very first night it came out ad I was a little buzzed on some good pot and I had no idea what to expect and I was blown away...

The Days of Wine and Roses...

[FloridaJudy]

22. Got it.

Citizen Kane

Amarcord

Hero

E.T.

Casablanca


I could watch any of these over and over.

[Common Sense Party]

23. Am I the only one that doesn't like Citizen Kane?

I just couldn't get through it.

[Iggo]

40. No, you're not.

Best sleep aid since the cartoon mallet.

[Common Sense Party]

43. I keep hearing it's one of the greatest film masterpieces of all time,

and I don't degrudge or demean those that love it...but I just couldn't get into it. It was boring, the dialogue was wooden and annoying, I had to turn it off after 30 minutes.

[Broken_Hero]

24. hmmm,

In no order...

Conan the Barbarian

The Dark Knight

Superman The Movie

Sin City

Once Were Warriors

[SemiCharmedQuark]

25. These are the five movies that spend the most time in my DVD player.

2. The Shawshank Redemption

3. The Fugitive

4. 12 Angry Men

5. Die Hard

[sasquatch]

26. The Godfather I&II, Dark Knight, Return of the King and the Big Lebowski

5th place is hard: Star Wars, Blade Runner, Pan's labyrinth, Grapes of Wrath, Mice and Men, Casablanca

[Submariner]

[HERVEPA]

30. McCabe and Mrs. Milllwr...

McCabe and Mrs. Miller
The Graduate

[timtom]

31. We are agreed!

On a couple, at least:

The Graduate
Some Like it Hot
Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Amadeus
Fargo

This is not a definitive list. Just the first 5 of the many favorite films to spring to mind.

Samurai Trilogy
Harakiri
8½
The Clowns
Bergman's Magic Flute

I looked at your profile. Contradancing, folk music.

I play fiddle and Irish Harp.

[HERVEPA]

34. I could easily have included Fargo or Amadeus...

Unfortunately, I made a pathetic attempt attempt to learn banjo, many years ago. My teacher was an alcoholic, or maybe that was just so he could tolerate trying to teach me.

Do you play in any groups?

[timtom]

49. I did in Austin in 1982

An Irish music band called "Blackthorn". It's been tough here in S. Florida to get anything going, but I play with other people occasionally.

As to contradance, I went to one Scottish dance group meeting in Austin. Had every intention of going back, but a Mexican girlfriend convinced me to sing in her Catholic Church choir instead.

Try the fiddle. I'll bet you can do it, with persistence. There's ever so many learning aids, videos, books, etc.

Cheers.
