Hey, I loved
Blazing Saddles. First time I saw it I thought I was literally going to die laughing because I couldn't catch my breath I was laughing so hard. My stomach was killing me.
My top five I think are:
It's a Wonderful Life,
Sound of Music,
Wizard of Oz,
To Kill a Mockingbird and
Citizen Kane. The first five b/w Number 6 mentioned were all great. Didn't see the next five.
A movie I loved that hasn't been mentioned is
Paper Moon with Tatum O'neill. Oh yeah, and her father, whathisname. Ryan, that was it.
Movies memorable for "nailing" the decade about which they were written:
The Great Gatsby,
Midnight Cowboy,
The Graduate and
The Big Chill.
A movie that has stuck with me because I identified with character Harry Beale's anger at the death of real journalism was
Network.
