Great list, Holli! Mrs. Shady and I loved the late Robin Williams, especially when he dialed back the zany and played it straight and sincere as he did in Dead Poet's Society. I saw Lost Boys when it was first released and am surprised to find so many people keeping the title in play on their blogs. Mrs. Shady and I watch a lot of movies together. We must have watched Shawshank Redemption 50 times by now. It's one of our faves along with La Bamba, Forrest Gump, Cuckoos Nest, Green Mile and The Shining. Another of my faves from your list is Top Gun.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday to you, dear friend Holli!
Glad you liked many of my movies I listed. Almost every one of these I would watch if I was scanning through the channels. Top Gun used to be a movie that I could recite the dialogue almost word for word.
DeleteYour list made me laugh. Our taste is so similar in many things. I've seen most of these movies and some of them are on my list (The Breakfast Club, Legends of the Fall, The Lovely Bones - honorable mention, The Princess Bride)! Others could've been on my list, but I forgot about them (The Lost Boys, Top Gun, Dead Poets Society, LadyHawke). Others I really like but they hurt me and I can't watch them often (Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile). And then there is the first movie on your list, which makes a totally different list for me: Raising Arizona. That is one of the only movies I couldn't get through and turned off after thirty minutes. ha!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, Raising Arizona was a movie I wasn't a fan of either the first time I saw it. I dated a guy though that had it and knew the lines almost to the whole thing. I watched it a lot with them and then before you know it I acquired an appreciation for it. Now it makes me laugh so hard!!
DeleteWell at 4 (2,5,7,and 13) yours might have the most movies I've actually watched...
ReplyDeleteYay I am glad I had at least 4 that you have seen and agree with. I was shocked at how easy the list came to mind.
DeleteAll good choices, but I would have to have Star Wars on the list.
ReplyDeleteStar Wars, Jaws , Signs, and ET would make my honorable mention list.
DeleteI love lists. But I would fall way short on this list. I am not into movies at all. Can you believe I have not seen a single one that is on your list??
ReplyDeleteOh you've seen Wizard of Oz haven't you? That's at least one.
DeleteThat is one great list of awesome movies! I've seen everyone.
ReplyDeleteI also left out Urban Cowboy. It's so cheesy now but I can watch it over and over.
DeleteGreat list with many classics here. Princess Bride, Lost Boys, Breakfast Club, Knights Tale, Nightmare are always watchable.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. It was a pretty easy list to do.
