A couple of the films I studied in an elective film class in college, and so I appreciate their artistry, but I cannot say they embedded themselves in my psyche as an "experience," as some of the commentators noted. One that did enlighten me as a child was Gone With the Wind, because in a time before so much other media available, I "saw" what the 2nd Cup of Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478944775613602625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5923612.post-13827790540418925732007-06-21T14:39:00.000-07:002007-06-21T14:39:00.000-07:00I'm glad you haven't seen Lawrence of Arabia eithe...I'm glad you haven't seen Lawrence of Arabia either! I'm a real film buff, and yet whenever I see clips of how great that movie is, I find myself completely unmoved.

I tried Citizen Kane once but couldn't get into it so I didn't finish. The only thing I liked about Singin' In the Rain was Gene Kelley's singing and dancing the title song -- one of my all-time favorite movie scenes.<BR/><BR/>I've never seen 11 or 12-- don't know if I have Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5923612.post-82142407677021806112007-06-21T08:55:00.000-07:002007-06-21T08:55:00.000-07:00Oh...and if Melina looks back and reads comments, ...Oh...and if Melina looks back and reads comments, let her know that if she ever comes to South Florida, she simply MUST go to Cafe Martarano...the Goodfellas thing made me think of this.<BR/><BR/>I blogged about it here:<BR/><BR/>http://dibookblogetc.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/05/movies_boobs_an.htmlDihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653282356172573799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5923612.post-83267016650046735942007-06-21T08:53:00.000-07:002007-06-21T08:53:00.000-07:00Gone with the Wind and Casablanca without a shadow...Gone with the Wind and Casablanca without a shadow of a doubt! I usually love those lists...and my husband and I try to predict what is going to be on them. We had a great time with the 100 Greatest Movie Quotes.

Though I agree with them those are probably some of the best ever made, my personal favorites are: Goodfellas (I've watched this probably 100 times). The Usual Suspects (The twists and turns are great). Blow (How can you not love Johnny Depp).<BR/><BR/>Of course I do love others too but just wanted to share a few of my top ones.Melinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780229343394232679noreply@blogger.com
