My Favorite Movies

| 1 |
Casablanca 1942, PG)
The perfect blend of patriotism, romanticism and cynicism, this classic delivers on all fronts. Rick Blaine's combination of inner demons and outer cool make him my favorite film character ever. |
|
| 2 |
The Godfather 1972, R)
Coppola's classic. Brilliant visuals, rich characters and a fascinating study of the closed society of men of power. A revelation- not of the depth of power of the Mafia, but of the incredible richness of truly great filmmaking. |

The Big Lebowski 1998, R)
And proud we are of all of them. |

| 4 |
Ed Wood 1994, R)
My favorite movie about making movies ever. Ironic, since it's a biopic about a filmmaker considered one of the world's worst. Still, Ed Wood's unshakeable belief in his film vision should be an inspiration to any artist in any craft. |

Glengarry Glen Ross 1992, R)
Pacino, Lemmon, Harris, Arkin, Spacey, Pryce...This is the cast to end all casts. Only a David Mamet screenplay could stand up to such a collection of legendary talent. |

Jaws 1975, PG)
Still the reason I stay in the shallow end of the ocean. Say what you will about Spielberg, the man can build audience tension. |

Wag the Dog 1997, R)
Brilliant satire of the political and war machines and their propensity to create fiction to cover reality. Especially timely now given the hearings into the mythologies and fantasies involving Pat Tillman's death and Jessica Lynch's rescue. |
