Okay...I didn't want to get into this one...because they keep coming back like a zombie but here goes:
Dramas:
Ben Hur ("We keep you alive to serve this ship."
Citizen Kane (Maybe the finest movie ever made.) Not my favorite, but a great flick.
Casablanca. Was Ingrid Bergman a major hottie or what? (Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!)
The Wind & The Lion. ("Pedercales alive...or Raisuli DEAD!") Gotta love Teddy Roosevelt. Great shoot-em up! Brave men...beautiful womenz.
The Seven Samurai. Maybe the best ever...a bit long but a great flick.
Musical:
Victor Victoria. I don't care if it is a flick about homos, it's still funny as hell, like most of Blake Edwards stuff.
