I think we did this one once before, but I thought it would be fun to revisit it. Here are the Lord's top 10:

1) Godfather
2) Godfather II
3) Star Wars Empire Strikes Back
3) A Few Good men
4) The Dirty Dozen
5) Saving Private Ryan
6) ET
7) Schindler's List
8) The Wizard of Oz
9) Animal House
10) Good Fellows

The list does change from time to time, I can't think of any in the last couple of years that really jump out at me. I did like the last Batman movie.

For the moment at least. :wink: This list changes daily.

Godfather 1 & 2 (I’m counting these as one!)
To Kill a Mockingbird (Best book-to-movie translation ever)
The Spy Who Came in From the Cold (Fantastic cast)
Olivier’s Richard III (The master at putting Shakespeare on film)
High Sierra (Maybe Bogie’s best)
The Very First Star Wars Movie (Not that Episode I piece of overdone crap)
The Empire Strikes Back
Raiders of the Lost Ark (“Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?”)
Mary Poppins (Just a delight - start to finish)
This is Spinal Tap (" It's such a fine line between stupid, and clever")

Ouch I forgot the Duke!! True Grit and my fav John Wayne Movie El Dorado. Big Jake was awesome too, the scene where John Wayne tells Richard Boone - "No matter who else gets killed I'm gonna blow your head off, it's as simple as that", always sends chills up my spine.

I loved "True Grit." Another one where the characters walked right out of the book, including, surprisingly, Glenn Campbell. It was filmed all around Telluride and Ouray Colorado -- spectacular scenery. My fave lines: Duvall: "That's bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!" Wayne: "Fill your hand, you son of a bitch!!"
