favorite movies?
Dec 17^th, 2008 at 12:39pm

hi all!! The other night at work, a few of the fellas and myself were playing a version of "the newlywed game", and trying to guess what our wives 5 favorite movies were. Most of us did surprisingly well. One of my coworkes mentioned that you could tell alot about a person by what their favorite movies were. Melissa's post about the snack foods prompted me to post this, so,,,,, anybody care to list their top 5? I have a REAL HARD time listing only five, but here goes, "The Outlaw Josey Wales", ,,,,," The God FAther",,,,,"The Dirty Dozen",,,,,"Field of Dreams" (I cry every time i watch it) ,,,, and "A Christmas Carol" with Reginald Owen as Scrooge. Oh Hell,, the more I think about , I want to change them all,, no wait, just add two, no,, chahnge them all,, oh hell,,, Tuck

Pfff, really hard to give exactly 5 movies, as there are a few more which I classify as my all time favourites.

Comedy:
Top Secret
Monty Python's Life of Brian
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Meaning of life (also Monty Python)

Old school Euro thrash horror:
The beyond
House by the cemetery
City of the living dead

Other horror:
Hellraiser
Evil dead

Stange and creepy:
Jacob's Ladder (absolutely divine)
anything by David Lynch

Drama:
Turks Fruit (old seventies Paul Verhoeven when he still was Dutch)
Elsker deg for evigt (breathtakingly beautiful love triangle from Denmark)

Furthermore I am a huge fan of:
Al Pacino
Robert deNiro
Jack Nicholson

Pascal.

BTW: if movies are revealing of one's character, does my penchant for horror categorize me as One Sick Puppy Grin

?

Jeannie

It is a good movie, and therein lies the problem. Wink

After "The Movie" came out, flyfishing suddenly became fashionable.

Those of us who are lifelong fly anglers watched the price of decent equipment suddenly rise into the stratosphere as droves of new-minted enthusiasts began buying up the goods. Rivers filled with the clueless, slogging through the best lies, whipping the water into froth. Fights broke out. No--really.

It was pretty bad out there for a while. Eventually, of course, the craze subsided. Those who were truly interested stayed with the sport. The majority moved on to the next thing--golf, or something.

Nowadays, flyfishing has settled back into its old ways--a few eccentrics practicing their peculiar art--but you can always be assured of a lively discussion if you mention "The Movie" over a bottle shared by the campfire.

Best,

George
