Getting Down To The Wire- Three Films

The word films implies a little something more that "just a movie"..... and God knows there are some bad movies out there.  Which explains why I don't watch many, the ones I do like tend to be older ones.  Blah blah.
But I'm going to make my list and then throw some add ons in.

1.  Moonstruck- film? Nope.  But it has love, opera, crazy Italians and things I could relate to in my life.

2.  City of Angels- the original subtitled starring Peter Falk... dang good movie.  I like the newer one too, because I like the music from it.

3.  The Mission- just because


Now, having said those  I like anything Robin Williams is in... if you haven't seen What Dreams May Come.... buckle in... it's a ride.  He's versatile, talented and a little underrated as an actor.  He's been in some great movies.
Meet Joe Black.  I never liked Brad Pitt until I saw that movie.  I like Anthony Hopkins and ended up watching it accidently.... I still like it.  I love the end.
Pulp Fiction- I like Travolta dance which leads me to Michael... another one that's got it all, love, God, dancing, music and a dog.  What else is there?  And Aretha singing Chain of Fools and Travolta dancing, oh and pie.....
Boondock Saints- don't even ask.  It's just good.
Silence of the Lambs
Children of a Lesser God..... great movie.
Anything southern..... Steel Magnolias, The Color Purple, Fried Green Tomatoes
Most DeNiro films

What I have not seen:  The Titanic, Gangs of NY, anything out in the last 5 years..... I don't like going to movie theaters.  I don't like remakes of classics, colorized versions and scary movies.  I don't like Sci-Fi.

and thus endeth the list.
