#EXPOSITION OF MY FAVORITE CHAPERONE MOVIE#
Terrific action film, the best submarine movie I’ve ever seen. A German U-Boat crew terrorizes British convoys and pays a heavy price for their actions.
What a spectacular view of the future of Los Angeles, great accompanying sound track by Vangelis, and adaptation of a short story by one of the greatest sci-fi authors ever, Philip K. Blade Runner: The best science-fiction movie ever made.Yikes it makes me shiver just to think about it. It'll leave a lasting impression on you that you'll contemplate whenever you see an electric power line where a flock of birds are perching. The Birds: A classic Hitchcock horror flick.Difficult to find, but if you come across it, don't miss it. ( subtitled) The Big Parade: In my opinion, this silent film is the best ever made demonstrating the horrors of World War I, especially after the innocence and idylism of the first two acts.Plus, geez, that musical score is just delicious. This movie touches a lot of people, including me, and shows a time capsule of an America long gone. The Best Years of Our Lives: Three World War II veterans return home after the war with difficult adjustments to make.Be sure to watch this one, and at least the first sequel, Aliens. A distress signal brings a spacefaring crew to a planet where the horror begins. My Favorite 60 or so Movies, listed alphabetically I welcome you to email with any comments on my choices. So if you're still reading and these things also tickle your fancy, here are my favorite 300-or-so movies out of the 2,319 I've watched. I'm not at all adverse to non-American films many of my 300-or-so-next-best films are black-and-white subtitled films. To rate a movie highly (that is, rate it as if I'd really enjoy watching it again, which is what my rating of 8 means), it has to have at least one of the following: a great plot, gorgeous photography, be a musical, contain beautiful music such as the way Kubrick used music, be a great science-fiction movie, or include anything about Italy, or especially Rome, for which I'm a total slut. But if you tentatively agree, keep reading. If you strongly disagree with both of these non-recommendations, you might as well stop reading here because my tastes don't align with yours.
So those are two movies that don't quite make it onto my list of favorite movies. I didn't ever really care what "Rosebud" meant, so the rest of the film's goodness was lost on me.
Even the highly-regarded Citizen Kane falls into that category I rated it a 7 since although it might have introduced lots of new film techniques and had many interesting perspectives, the plot itself was totally boring to me. To me, it felt like nothing happened, and I rated it a 4 (I've since re-rated it as 7, because I now better appreciate it's allure, but it's still not a favorite). I generally favor movies that are heavy in the plot department there are many movies which are highly regarded on the Internet Movie Database or by critics which I don't like at all. But although I'd like to, I can't watch all 2,800 movies over again to try and be more consistent, so for what it's worth, here is the list of the 70-or-so movies I've rated 9 or 10, followed by the 320-or-so-next-best films I've rated as 8. Of course, this rating took place over many many years and I can't claim that my ratings have been consistent over the long haul I'm sure that my tastes have changed during this journey. Jeff's Favorite Movies Jeff's Favorite MoviesĪs of today, I've watched and rated 2,800 movies, assigning each a numerical rating 1 (a waste of life) and 10 (loved it).
