|
| 2 |
A Beautiful Mind 2001, PG-13)

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 2001, PG-13)
Peter Jackson and crew did an amazing job bringing this classic fantasy thriller to the big screen. I believe the Oxford scholar would be pleased with this movie?I know that I was! |
|
| 4 |
Monty Python and the Holy Grail 1974, PG)
So many parts of this movie to enjoy and too little time to enjoy it. British sense of humor at its best. A true comedic classic! |
|
| 5 |
Hamlet 1990, PG)
Best Hamlet ever as far as I am concerned. |
|
| 6 |
The Godfather 1972, R)
Who can forget the great wisdom contained in the admonition to "leave the gun, grab the cannoli"? |
|
| 7 |

| 15 |
Blazing Saddles 1974, R)
Okay, this probably not a date night movie, but it sure is funny! Sure, so of the jokes and gags are a bit dated, but this is Mel Brooks at his best! |
|
| 16 |
Schindler's List 1993, R)
Everyone over the age of 16 (if they are mature enough) should watch this movie. If we do not learn about the tragic moments of our past then we, as a human family, we be doomed to repeat it. |
|
| 17 |
Saints and Soldiers 2003, PG-13)
|
|
| 18 |
Signs 2002, PG-13)
Since the day I first saw this movie until this very day, I have enjoyed watching it, although, for different reasons. The premise is plausable. Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix are terrific. A must see...and own! |
|
| 19 |
Mouse Hunt (Mousehunt) 1997, PG)
I just laugh everytime I see this movie. The madcap antics are wonderfully delightful. |
|

Frequency 2000, PG-13)
I love the premise. |
|
| 21 |
Saving Private Ryan 1998, R)
Ah...the utter brutality of war. A tremendous film about the sacrifices made by the "greatest generation". |
|
| 22 |
Tommy Boy 1995, PG-13)
A funny movie. Who can forget great lines like "Luke I am your father" and "that's gonna hurt"? Ha, ha, ha! |
|
| 23 |
Unbreakable 2000, PG-13)
|
|
| 24 |
Gladiator 2000, R)
I am a history buff, and as such, I enjoy a good historically-based movie from time to time. This movie was well worth my time. |
|
| 25 |
Phenomenon 1996, PG)
|
|
| 26 |

|
|

Stargate 1994, PG-13)
Interesting thing is...I did not like this movie when I originally watched it. I thought the plot was too far out there, and that the acting was to stiff. Years later when I got turned on to the TV series I gained a better feeling for this film. In closing, I am of the opinion that the director's cut version of the movie is better than the original theatrical version. |
