My work colleagues have requested a list of movies I recommend. I think they envisioned "new" movies, but I'm going to indulge myself with a list of what I think are "must see" films (in no particular order)...
1. Juno - NOW IN THEATERS! Heart-felt, hysterical, and feel-good. I haven't seen a movie this good in some time.
2. Napoleon Dynamite. Good times.
3. Airplane. Just re-watched this one with my family. I forgot how funny it is.
4. Blazing Saddles. Excuse me while I whip this out. (tee hee)
5. Elizabeth. The story of Queen Elizabeth up to the time she turned into the "virgin queen." One of my all-time favorite movies.
6. Almost Famous. Another coming of age movie that I just adore.
7. Toy Story. Best cartoon ever. "Don't forget your scary eyes!"
8. Annie Hall. You either get it or you don't. I really get it. Watch it and tell me what you think about the lobster scene.
9. Shrek. If nothing else, watch it for the gingerbread man. He is freaking funny. The gumdrop buttons!!
10. Moulin Rouge. It's just pretty.
Honorable mention:
National Treasure: Not all time favorite, but it's out there now and worth seeing if you liked the first one (which I did).
There are zillions of others, obviously--Godfather, Taxi Driver, Chicago, The Jerk--but these were the ones that came to mind at the time. Maybe I'll talk more movies later.
