Actually, these are my top ten favorites.  There are many well made movies.

Trading Places – Heredity vs. Environment

Pulp Fiction – ketchup

It’s a Wonderful Life – don’t watch TV versions

The Unbelievable Truth – Adrienne Shelly; Edie Falco; Robert Burke – neat dialog, neat trip, neat ending, neat music.

The Twelve Chairs – Mel Brooks; Frank Langella; Dom Deluise; Ron Moody – what a treat!

The Last Samurai – Honor

A Few Good Men – Honor

Jerry Maguire – Quan (or is it kwan?)

Double Whammy – Denis Leary; Elizabeth Hurley; Luis Guzman; Steve Buscemi

Just about any Jeff Bridges movie.

My best theater experience was viewing Signs.  M Night said he wanted to connect with the audience and he did!  When that phone rang and they jumped onscreen and we all jumped in the theater – we were connected. And then when they were holed up in the basement, I was with them there too, and was scared to death at the noises the aliens were making, knowing they were going to come in and these were the last moments of our lives – there was no escape!  Even though I knew it was a movie, we weren’t getting out of this one.  My other theater experience was Saving Private Ryan.  It was so real.  Bullets wizzing and making holes in the walls.  When the movie ended I felt like 5 minutes had gone by.  When in fact, I ate before going in, and was hungry when I got out.  Plus, for a couple days I was numb.  I guess a sort-of Post Traumatic Stress.  Imagine those that actually taste battle.
