Actually, I have a few I will share with commentary...
...of my all time favorites.
#1 All time Favorite..."The Sting" with Nueman and Redford TOPS the list.
Other very notables also in this film Ray Walston, Robert Shaw, Eileen Brennan, Dana Elcar, Charles Durning and others. Excellent screen play with a "twisting plot"
At the end of the film...who REALLY gets "STUNG"??? The viewing audience!
#2 "The Spirit of St. Louis"...with Jimmy Stewart. Very well done and historically accurate. Even Charles Lindburgh himself agreed it was "Excellent"! I think it earned a few Oscars including best Director for Billy Wilder. The movie was released in my birth year, 1952...besides I'am a Jimmy Stewart fan.
#3 "Carbine Williams" Another Jimmy Stewart film. Also released in 1952, the story of D.M. Williams who invented the M-1 Carbine automatic weapon.
#4 "TITANIC"...yes the lastest release that was a box office smash! Computer technology was just getting into the "Movies". I heard the hype and figured it was just another "Love Story". BOY was I wrong!
It ran for 7 months in local theaters and just 2 DAYS before it closed I thought..."I better go check it out". I'am glad I did. Excellent film!!!
#5 "Public Enemy" with Johnny Depp. Yes a little intense...and I'll admit I "winced" once or twice. But over all an excellent film and I'am not even a big Johnny Depp fan.
#6 "The Legend of ****** Vance" with Will Smith and Jack Lemmon. If you are a golfer this film is a MUST SEE !!!!
I guess you have surmised by now I'am drawn to the "earlier Era" of the 20's and 30's...you know...the "Rum Runners", the "Bootleggers", yes I would have fit right in.
Thank You for allowing me to share,
Dave
