You mean her. But it's ok, I used to think you were a girl so it evens out.

In any case your follow up to Agent23's question is valid, where is LotR?

 

[Eli26]

The Fastest Indian is a fantastic movie as well. Anthony Hobkins was brilliant in it.

One of my favorite guilty pleasures, for fun movies, that even makes fun of itself and is ultra campy... Last Action Hero.

I know a lot of you guys grew up in the 80's and 90's, but you really have to do yourself a favor and watch some movies made before 1977!!!!

...and good for those with at least one movie before 1969 on their list!!!

If those damn 70s and 80s movies weren't so good, all 5 of mine would have been before 1960.

That's why I did decades! I'll bet it would be a lot easier for people to pick three favorites from each decade, than to pick their top 5.

Some good movies were made in the 70's and 80's, and quiet a few made it into AFI's Top 100 of all time, but there are an awful lot of really, really, really great movies made in the 5 decades before 1970!

I agree. I hope more people actually watch "classic" movies made before the 70s.

I have Seven Samurai and North By Northwest in my Top 10. And I still get mesmerized by Citizen Kane. And there are so many more I couldn't imagine not watching again. When you think of how many movies you've watched in your lifetime, it boggles the mind. Luckily we're not limited to our top 5 or 10.
