favourite films

I have so many favourite films but here are my top 5:

Last of the Mohicans

Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee

Titanic

Pearl Harbor

Gladiator

[L88]

My Fair Lady.
High Society.
House of Sand and Fog.
Atonement.
There Will Be Blood.

[L88]

Also, Inception and Drive.

The Fisher King (a masterpiece; quirky, has the gamut of emotions, Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams!)
The Producers - supremely funny
The Odd Couple - one of Neil Simon's best screenplays
Barefoot In The Park - another N. Simon classic - fast ripostes
Blazing Saddles - just so funny (seen too many times now though)
What About Bob? - Bill Murray at his best in this (his expressions!)
The Way We Were - I identify with Streisand's role in this

I've always like old kung-fu movies. Bad acting, bad choreography, bad plots, but there's just something about them. My all-time favorite is Bruce Lee's masterpiece "Enter the Dragon". Even though it's newer, I also like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". I'm a big fan of Jet Li, with the exception of "Romeo Must Die". My favorite movie of all-time is The Crow. But only the first one. Same with The Matrix and Blade. The first one's were good, the sequels, not so much. I like all the Ninja Turtles movies, as well as the Karate Kid movies, including the remake, or not really, with Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith. And I'll finish with the "Lord of the Rings" movies.

Favourite movies for me tend to change from day to day, simply because my list is so long. ;) Here are a few that I love.
