Kelly's Heroes 1970, PG)
If you like war movies, and if you like Clint Eastwood...this one is perfect! Neat story, a little irreverent (for it's time)...great acting. No characters better than "Oddball". Even the Love Boat captain was great in this! |

Raiders of the Lost Ark (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark) 1981, PG)
Incredible action, wonderful story, very clear good guys and bad guys, and a fun love story. All the elements of a great story! The subsequent movies were good, but not quite as good as the first! |

Sleepless in Seattle 1993, PG)
Really enjoy Tom Hanks movies, and this one is perhaps his best! (although Saving Private Ryan is Awesome). Think this is Meg Ryan's best role too! |

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace 1999, PG)
Loved all of the SW flicks, but I think this one was best. A young Annakin, before he was turned....a great story! And Liam Neeson was a very cool Jedi! |

Saving Private Ryan 1998, R)
The first 10 minutes are the most amazing 10 min's in a movie! And I love how Ryan morphs to an old man in the end....and the question he asks...."have I earned this?" |

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 2001, PG-13)
Wow!!! Probably the best combination of story, action, acting and special effects in a movie! All 3 were amazing...I just picked this one to represent the group! |

The Matrix 1999, R)
Great movie in every sense. Makes you think (but not too much like Apocalypse Now), makes you sit on the each of your seat (but not like a horror flick), makes you pull the good guys! Keanu Reeves is awesome! |

Von Ryan's Express 1965, PG)
Great flick...who knew Sinatra could act? (I know, some didn't think he did well here, but I liked it!) |

The Great Escape 1963, Unrated)
One of those great ensemble casts in a huge War setting. Great story, and based in reality. Hilts (Steve McQueen's character) is still planning his next escape! |

George Straitt acting? Yep, staying within his comfort zone, he carries it well. Very underrated movie!! |
