I’ve seen all of these except the two martial arts movies that aren’t Enter the Dragon and Love & Basketball. LOVE Back to the Future and I’ve watched it and the third one multiple times…the second not so much. I also love The Wizard of Oz. I’ve seen it countless times and while I wouldn’t say I’m burnt out on it I don’t watch it nearly as much as I did when my nieces and nephew were little and their kids aren’t quite old enough yet.<br /><br />Here’s 20 off the top of my head. Being a disaster movie junkie I knew I’d have several as well as period films, another genre I love but I shocked myself when only one that came to mind was a flat out comedy. Of course when I got to 20 I started thinking of tons more but I stuck with the originals. I could have easily come up with another 20!<br /><br />In no particular order:<br /><br />The Poseidon Adventure<br />The Towering Inferno <br />Airport<br />Die Hard<br />Pride & Prejudice<br />Sense & Sensibility<br />The Corn is Green (1979)<br />How the West Was Won-This one is almost 3 hours long but I can’t help it, if I run across it on TV no matter where it is at in the film I stop and watch until the end.<br />Murder on the Orient Express<br />The Last of Sheila<br />Fired Up!<br />Show Boat<br />There’s No Business Like Show Business<br />I Could Go on Singing<br />All the President’s Men<br />Inherit the Wind<br />Woman’s World<br />October Sky<br />Latter Days<br />Steel Magnolias<br /><br />Come Christmas time though these five would definitely be on the list:<br />Christmas in Connecticut<br />A Christmas Story-I swear every year I’m not going to be sucked in to the 24 hour showings and every year I end up with it on in the background!<br />A Christmas Carol-the George C. Scott version <br />Make the Yuletide Gay<br />Pocketful of Miracles<br />joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-49067877861519629812015-09-21T12:45:01.655-04:002015-09-21T12:45:01.655-04:00Too...Bay.

I might have to do my own version...<br /><br />I think that anyone who doesn't include The Wizard of Oz on a list like this is either lying or not worth knowing lol. LOVE what your wrote about XXX. I kinda love it too, for what it is: a big dumb action movie with a charismatic muscled-and-tatted-up bald man in the lead. Damn Vin Diesel and his muscles INDEED! Totally agree on the chemistry making the Bad Boys movies work, although I infinitely prefer Rush Hour, a perfect example of counter-intuitive casting that works. And I absolutely do not blame you on being able to quote Coming to America verbatim. That's not one of the movies that I can do that with, but dear lord is it hilarious.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480863610135936930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-92232886172194129202015-09-21T08:30:41.227-04:002015-09-21T08:30:41.227-04:00Cool!
