I judge movies based upon many things such as directors, actors, music, mood, plot(s), etc. If any one or more of these pieces should be weaker or stronger than the others, it can throw off the whole film. It is the difference between a movie I want to see again and a movie I won’t waste my time on a second time. Then there are subcategories: movies I’ll buy when they come to dvd and movies I might watch when they come out on cable in which case I won’t buy.
Great movies I have or would like to have on dvd are: A Knight’s Tale, Ever After, The Wedding Singer, Little Women, Gone With The Wind, Fiddler on The Roof, Phantom of the Opera, Titanic, You’ve Got Mail, The Little Shop Around the Corner, Bend it Like Beckum, Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, Grease, Fight Club, The Fast and the Furious, Star Wars, James Bond, Oceans 11, 12, 13, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Meet Joe Black, A River Runs Through It, 13 Going on 30, The Birdcage, 50 First Dates, The Aviator, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Circle of Friends, Dead Poets Society, Forest Gump, My Fair Lady, Sound of Music, Good Will Hunting, Father’s Day, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Silence of the Lambs, Pretty in Pink, Mr. Holland’s Opus, Meet Me in St. Louis, Wizard of Oz, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Ray, Raising Helen, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Shall We Dance, Spider Man, Some Like It Hot, Superman, The Incredible Hulk, Sweet Home Alabama, To Kill a Mockingbird, Wedding Crashers, Walk the Line, Batman, Center Stage, Where the Heart Is, etc….
Thanks, I know I have good taste.
Sorry, I can’t keep track of movies unworthy of my time…. {yawn}


Is this a Christmas wish-list?
What? No Mr. Jay. 1.) Jewish kids don’t make Christmas wish-lists. I think Santa has enough with all those Christian brats. 2.) This is the pre-requisite list for my Curlel 101 class. We’ll discuss books in the 102 class next semester. That reminds me, I forgot some of my movies:
… Mama Mia, Mystery Alaska, Wedding Date, Ladder 49, Wedding Planner, America’s Sweethearts, Must Love Dogs, Chicago, The King and I, Devil Wears Prada, We Are the Titans, We Are Marshall, Blue Collar Comedy, Never Been Kissed, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Jay and Silent Bob, A Good Year, Cinderella Man, A Beautiful Mind, Master and Commander, American Gangster, Practical Magic, Gladiator, High Fidelity, The Sum of Us, When Harry Met Sally,…
…that should keep you busy until I think of some more.
