The Fox and the Hound! Such a cute movie. Definitely one of my favorite Disney movies of all time.
Huh. Interesting!
Oh, I forgot about that one. I'll go add it!
LOL at the last one. Made my day. He does actually have some pretty epic speeches to be honest.
I have a very bias opinion on a specific type of film. hehe
Boy-o boy I love me some classics! And I see that you have a strong love for The Shining, and I agree with it.
Raging Bull my all time favorite
GoodFellas
Taxi Driver
Casino
A Clockwork Orange
The Shining
Full Metal Jacket

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The Iron Giant

The Sound of Music (don't judge me)

I remember watching Zulu in history class. It was pretty good, but not something I'd watch again.
Just do me a favor stop calling me Shirley. xD
I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.
I love more movies than I can name, but Alien and Aliens are two of my personal favorites. To me they knock it out of the park in terms of what a film can be. The cinematography, the suspense, the action, the cacophonies, the silence, and of course good old fashion story telling. H. R. Giger's Drone is still one of the most exquisite and finely crafted creations to grace the movie screen.
Some of my other favorites are classics like Star Wars and Raiders and Holy Grail and Airplane and Close Encounters and more that I can't remember!
Picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
Lucky, I missed the 1990(s)'s S at the end meaning all the way to 1999 likely still counts. lol
I just reminds myself of this. It's a tad off topic but it's a video that was created for TCM channel to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Movies. I remember seeing this on TV as TCM was one of my favorite channels. AMC used to be the same kind of channel dedicated to classic films. AMC has lost it's way hasn't it?

Sorry to keep pushing this on you, but did you ever watch some of Paul Schrader's movies? I say that because you obviously like Scorsese, and Schrader wrote a lot of those screenplays, including Raging Bull and Taxi Driver. My favorite is Light Sleeper, but Hardcore, Affliction, Auto-focus, and Rolling Thunder (the last of which he didn't direct) are also really good.
Well, the first film, if I recall correctly, was the Frere Lumieres filming of a train coming into a station in 1898, so film itself is barely 100 years old.
In all honesty I forgot about some of Schraders other movies haha.
I'll never get over Macho Grande.
Just a few that come to mind atm, more probably:
"Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"
Quite frankly, I have seen so many movies, both good and bad, that I can go the rest of my life without ever seeing another one.
But if I had to pick my most favorite movie of all time, it would have to be the Fugitive from 1993, which starred Harrison Ford, and Tommy-Lee Jones.
Another film that I really love is Men In Black.
the princess bride (1987)
oh also Flatliners (1990)
