BobLee’s Favorite Movies
***
Last week Reader “Dick” asked for a List of My Favorite Movies. Like all of us… with way too much discretionary time on our hands these days… he was looking for entertainment suggestions.
I obliged … giving it about ten minutes thought … and in no particular 1st 2nd 3rd order. Just “a bunch of” movies that come to my mind that I have enjoyed over the years.
My Litmus Test is…
“if I am channel-surfing and see that ______ is coming up. I stop to watch it or hit RECORD to watch it later regardless of how many times I’ve seen it.
I stopped counting “# times” a long time ago with Road House and The Green Berets. I’m up to 9/10 with Casino and Clear Present Danger
.
I am sure I left out one or more of Your Favorites. Thats OK… Your Favorites are every bit as legitimate as My Favorites … so long as your list also includes Road House of course.
Mine is THE Only Favorite Movie List that does NOT includes Shawshank Redemption. What can I say?
A lot of testosterone in this list. “Kid” learned early the term “It’s a Dad-will-like Movie”.
Here It Is.
