Seriously that was maybe the worst "sequels" ever ! |
I did not know about the sequel.
I just requested it from the local library to watch and decide for myself. 
I would not expect it to be in the top 10 or anything like that, but it may still be entertaining.

Has anyone mentioned "Once Upon a Time in the West?" To me it's the ultimate spaghetti western. Also probably Charles Bronson's finest turn as a leading man/protagonist.

Very difficult... our list is almost all the "golden age" of Hollywood. Not in strict order:
Love Me Tonight
Trouble In Paradise
The Merry Widow
To Be Or Not To Be
His Girl Friday
The Awful Truth
Double Indemnity
Sullivan's Travels
The Palm Beach Story
It Happened One Night
I would probably need to list at least 25 to get the ones that I think are
not just my favorites, but the best of all time.
If you are a fan of older movies (like TCM) and you have not seen these, check
them out on IMDB and watch them.

I put my list together without reading the other entries because I figured I would see other movies I really liked and start second-guessing my picks.
Here are my top 10
- The Sting
- Godfather I & II
- Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
- A Man for All Seasons
- True Grit (the Coen brothers version)
- Miller's Crossing
- Marathon Man
- The Great Escape
- To Have and Have Not
- Casablanca

Hands down: The Graduate.
Fantastic story, acting, casting, writing, directing, music... you name it!
I'm convinced to this day, after first seeing it in the late 1960s, that this was an LSD-inspired movie--from the first scene to the end.

No particular order, and not a whole lot of thought
Big
The Great Escape
Enemy at the Gates
Point Break
Braveheart
Casablanca
Ordinary People
Mystic River
Fargo
That Thing You Do
I could come up with another 10 very quickly that could easily replace many of these.

Does anyone remember then name of a movie the had a mother with a young daughter, the mother got cancer and was going to die, so she started writing things to her daughter for after her death. It was a real tear jerker.

Since we're snuggled in for the winter, I found Rotten Tomatoes movies that earned a 100% rating. I haven't seen most of them and many are historical like "The Bride of Frankenstein" 1935. Or "The Grapes of Wrath" 1940. This will keep me entertained for a long time!
