Oh well, in no particular order.....

"To Kill a Mockingbird"
"Dr. Strangelove"
"The Outlaw Josey Wales"


yeah, well, "mockingbird" is in my top three, for obvious reasons, i
reckon.


Amen.

the other two: casablanca;


Bogart always makes me giggle......can't help it. I guess it's because he
always reminds me of Ahnold.....or vice versa. NOBODY does a better Ahnold
than Ahnold........ditto for Bogie. :)

and, though made for tv, still the one, the best, never to be surpassed:
lonesome dove.


Ranks very high for fidelity to the book, and one of the most brilliant
pieces of casting ever to come out of Hollywood.

and it keeps getting funnier every single time I see it!"?

Jaws-The first one only.


Casablanca, It's A Wonderful Life, You Can't Take It With You,
The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, The Unforgiven, The Indiana
Jones Trilogy (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, Last Crusade).

(That's almost as close to 3 as your list. ;-)

Hi,

If we play Ken's game to the logical end we'd have a good list for my
tastes
In order, no less:

Lord of the Rings (trilogy)
Star Wars (the first three)
Indiana Jones "trilogy" (but I'd have to think about Harry Potter, too)
or three

Thanks everyone for the reply's. There are some fantastic movies listed
above. If Tom brings another hurricane or just regular old flood to any
future clave's we will have the first annual "DVD Classic Movie Clave"
at my place. Take comfort in knowing there's a dry bear proof place you
all can go to unwind in the mountains of Pennsylvania.

The new cabin on penns creek is all cleaned out! By spring I should
have the place looking pretty damn good. This weekend I'm putting down
a new carpet in the livingroom and setting up a fly dressing table to
seat 4. I hope there's no slave labor law in Weikert, no one stays for
free! Now all I need are some DVD's to stock pile for when Tom
Littleton comes to the valley and brings a hurricane with him. So what
are your 3 greatest movies all time: I've got - Deliverance, The Deer
Hunter, Casablanca, On the Waterfront, Cool hand Luke, Pulp Fiction,

OK, OK, I'll play nice...well, not so much "nice" as "not smart-assed"...

IMO, there are lots of great movies, and just like music, any list that'd I
write at 6:45pm today would likely change by 7:45pm, and would certainly change
by 10:45pm tonight or 6am tomorrow. For example, if I get one more call tonight
for "the homeowner" that starts out "this isn't a sales call," any movie in
which telemarketers are violently beaten with the entire New York City Yellow
AND white pages would be the greatest of all time. However, after a martini, a
nice steak and good wine with my honey, and a little Christmas cheer with
friends, aw, hell, Gigli ain't THAT bad and I'd actually sit through (most of,
anyway) a chick flick without observing (well, as often, anyway) that it'd
probably be better if Jerry Bruckheimer had been involved in making it...
