0 to 5 bananas.
This list is the 5 out of 5 bunch. The others will come
at a later time, on a different page.
| 10 | 1979 | A fun and frolicking movie with Dudley Moore at his best. Bo Derek is wonderful as the lovely (and nude) dream girl who turns out not to be the girl of his dreams. Wonderful cast, excellent movie! |
| 12 Angry Men | 1957 | A true classic starring some of the best actors of all time. Henry Fonda leads the pack with one of his most enduring portrayals. |
| 2001: A Space Odyssey | 1968 | One of the best films ever made, way ahead of its time, and still a stunning view. |
| 300 | 2007 | CGI was never as good before as it is in this epic and enthusiastic creation. I love it completely! |
| 84 Charing Cross Road | 1986 | A true classic! Anne Bancroft is a delight in this film. It is one of my all time favorites. |
| A Christmas Story | 1983 | A Christmas staple in many homes, this has become the American Christmas movie. It ranks with Dickens as being a holiday essential. |
| A Clockwork Orange | 1971 | Another timeless film with a story line that could be picked up and put down into any future time, this film continues to live and breathe in the minds of all who have seen it. |
| A Few Good Men | 1992 | This is a solid movie from start to finish. Everybody in it is great. It is also a movie that shows that if you are a soldier in the military you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. |
| A Fish Called Wanda | 1988 | This is a solidly funny movie, with stand out performances by all. You laugh all the way through it, then you take a cold shower because of Jamie Lee Curtis, then you chuckle about the movie for days after. It is simply that great. |
| A Little Romance | 1979 | This is one of my most beloved films. I love the soundtrack, I love the casting, I love the story, and just about everything else. I can watch this movie and feel a hundred different emotions during the trip. |
| A Man Called Horse | 1970 | There is a reason Richard Harris was a big star long before Harry Potter came around. This is an example of why. |
| Airplane! | 1980 | A movie that holds up over time, Airplane! Is still a blast. Funny as hell! |
| All the President's Men | 1976 | Perfect casting aside, this movie is still riveting after over 30 years. |
| Amadeus | 1984 | Tom Hulce gave the performance of his life in Amadeus, as did F. Murray Abraham. I can watch this movie again and again. |
| Amelie | 2001 | Audrey Tautou is one of my favorite views in this world, and in this funny French film she is at her best. It is delightfully funny. |
| American Splendor | 2003 | I LOVE this film. I can watch it again and again. Paul Giamatti stars as Harvey Pekar, and Pekar himself is often in the film. It is a complete blast! It also shows that celebrity is not always the great qualifier to one's life. This is a must see movie. |
| Arsenic and Old Lace | 1944 | This is a flawlessly funny movie that is as funny today as it was back in 1944. Cary Grant is at his comic best, assisted by the funniest people on the planet. This movie is dear to my heart and always will |
| As Good as It Gets | 1997 | I love this movie to death! Helen Hunt is at her most appealing, Nicholson is at his funniest, and Kinnear and Gooding are totally |
| Auntie Mame | 1958 | Rosalind Russell dazzles in a tour de force performance unmatched. Wow! What a fun and endearing movie! I can't rate it highly enough. |
| Babette's Feast | 1987 | If you can't enjoy this film, there is something wrong with you. This is storytelling at its highest caliber. Wondrous to the extreme. |
| Bad Day at Black Rock | 1954 | Spencer Tracy is fantastic as the one armed stranger who shows up in a small town looking to repay a favor, only to find something bad has happened there. Great film! |
| Barbarians at the Gate | 1993 | I know it's a made for TV movie, but damn the specifics, this movie rocks! James Garner is great, the other actors are great, and the story is really relative - Especially these days. |
| Batman Begins | 2005 | This is my favorite Batman. I thought Michael Keaton's version was good, but this is a powerhouse Batman. I cannot rate it more highly. |
| Being There | 1979 | Peter Sellers is wondrous in this funny film. I love it! |
| Ben Hur | 1959 | There was a reason that Charlton Heston was a star, and this movie shows just why. Fantastic film, all the way through. |
| Big | 1988 | Tom Hanks is as his younger best in this film. Nothing of similar storyline can compete with this masterwork. |
| Big Night | 1996 | Tony Shalhoub and Stanley Tucci are wonderful in this quirky and witty cooker. |
| Bill Cosby: Himself | 1983 | Bill Cosby being, himself. On stage, all alone, and funny as hell. One of the best comedy centerfolds of all time. |
| Billy Bathgate | 1991 | Dustin Hoffman is fantastic as Dutch Schultz, Loren Dean is at his best, and Nicole Kidman is at her most appealing (front and rear). I can watch this one over and over. |
| Blade Runner | 1982 | One of the best movies of all time. Still stunning to watch after all of these years. |
| Blazing Saddles | 1974 | Mel Brooks created a monster with this funny and not politically correct film. It is funny as hell, and hopefully will never be censored to death by some future P.C. movement. |
| Born Yesterday | 1950 | Judy Holliday is simply great is this classic movie. Despite being funny as all get out, the movie theme is still as relevant today as it was then. It seems some things never really change. |
| Braveheart | 1995 | I don't care if you like or dislike Mel Gibson, or think the movie isn't true to the real life story of William Wallace. This movie is great, |
| Bride of Frankenstein | 1935 | Wow! A sequel that actually works! Wonderful film! |
| Broadcast News | 1987 | Holly Hunter is a true charm in this. Albert Brooks is at his best. William Hurt is perfectly cast (for once). This movie is a marvel. |
| Bullitt | 1968 | The BEST car chase scene of all time, bar none. I don't care what anyone says. To do THAT in those days was a masterwork. |
| Butch Cassidy and the Sundance | 1969 | Sheesh! What a movie! One of the best pairing of stars ever! Kid |
| Casablanca | 1942 | One of the best movies of all time, and timeless in that the essential elements of the story stick with us as a society. |
| Chariots of Fire | 1981 | A stunningly beautiful film with a winning soundtrack and solid story line. |
| Close Encounters | 1977 | Often imitated, but never matched, this visual delight is one of those films that lives in the hearts and in the hopes of people all over the world. Close Encounters of The Third Kind has been set in stone as one of the best movies of all time. |
| Cocoon | 1985 | A movie that shows that no matter how old you get, you never lose the wants and needs of youth. That sounds depressing, and it is. That is, unless aliens show up to give you a boost. |
| Cold Comfort Farm | 1995 | A funny yarn is a funny yarn, and this is a funny yarn. You can't beat funny… even if you see it in the woodshed. |
| Conan The Barbarian | 1982 | The director's final version of the film is the best, making the movie much more intelligent than the original theatrical release. Arnold rocks in this, James Earl Jones thrills, and Sandahl Bergman sweats |
| Cool Hand Luke | 1967 | One of the best anti-hero movies of all time. Funny but hard, and thoroughly entertaining, this one knocks it out of the ballpark. |
| Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon | 2000 | A beautifully made film that raised the bar for all future films of the genre, this one has no equal. |
| Crumb | 1994 | Six years in the making, this portrait of underground cartoonist Robert Crumb is a subtle masterpiece. Disturbingly entertaining, brutally funny, and thoroughly honest, Crumb is one of the best |
| Dead Man on Campus | 1998 | Tom Everett Scott and Mark-Paul Gosselaar are at their comedic best in this black comedy. It is outrageously funny from start to finish. Lochlyn Munro gives a stand out performance at the completely unstable Cliff. I laugh every time I watch the film. |
| Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid | 1982 | A thoroughly unique film, Plaid melds in clips from vintage detective films into the current story line. Steve Martin is flawless in this funny masterpiece, and Rachel Ward is stunning. |
| Defending Your Life | 1991 | This is a highly underrated film. Albert Brooks is funny as hell, Meryl Streep is wonderful, and Rip Torn is a laugh. I can watch this one several times a year. |
| Desk Set | 1957 | One of my favorites! Katharine Hepburn is funny, Spencer Tracy is funny. Everybody is funny. It is a lark and a laugh, and it even has computers in it. Wonderful! |
| Down Periscope | 1996 | This film is underrated. The reason is probably because people only watched it once. Me, I watched it more than once, coming to like it more with each viewing. It is a truly funny movie. |
| Dr. Strangelove | 1964 | This is a perfect film from start to finish. It is outrageously funny. Everyone in it is at the top of their game. |
| Driving Miss Daisy | 1989 | I love this film on a lot of different levels, but mostly because it is a great story. People who discount it for whatever reason must be over-thinking things. |
| Drop Dead Gorgeous | 1999 | A stand out funny film, this one take it all the way there and back again. I laugh at so many points in this film every time I watch it, even though I know what is coming, that it is not funny. Or, it is funny, but unbelievably so. |
| Drunken Master | 1978 | Jackie Chan is great in this one. This martial-arts comedy helped establish the slapstick fighting style that became Chan's trademark. It |
| Duel at Ganryu Island | 1956 | Toshiro Mifune stars as the title character in this, part 3 of Hiroshi Inagaki's Samurai Trilogy. It is wondrous! |
| Duel at Ichijoji Temple | 1955 | Toshiro Mifune stars as the title character in this, part 2 of Hiroshi Inagaki's Samurai Trilogy. It is wondrous! |
| Emperor of the North | 1973 | Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine are at the top of their game here! Wow! What a hard funny movie. There is action, blood, and tough talk all over the place. You can enjoy this one with or without a |
| Enter The Dragon | 1973 | Bruce Lee at his best. Simple. See it. |
| Fargo | 1996 | This isn't really a black comedy, it is simply a kind of real life comedy with murderous overtones. It is funny to the nth degree. Frances McDormand is flawless in this. |
| Fast Times at Ridgemont High | 1982 | This is not a flawless movie, but it is a great movie. It is funny, it is real, and it is amazing. It launched the careers of many stars. That alone makes it a top film. |
| Fatso | 1980 | Dom DeLuise stars in this tour de force, a movie that deal comically with the ordeals of a nice fat man. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this movie. It is a fond film of mine. |
| Ferris Bueller's Day Off | 1986 | What more can be said about one of the funniest films ever made? Nothing much. This is a great one! |
| Forrest Gump | 1994 | I cannot imagine that there are people out there who don't appreciate this film. For me it is a masterpiece. |
| Four Rooms | 1995 | An overwhelmed bellboy gets the business in this insanely funny film. Tim Roth is a blast, most of the rest of the cast is a blast, and fun is to be had by all. This has got to be Quentin Tarantino's homage to the Jerry Lewis film The Bellboy. |
| Frankenstein | 1931 | A masterpiece, plain and simple. |
| Full Metal Jacket | 1987 | Vincent D'Onofrio steals the movie with his brief role as the fat loser who goes mental. The film is tireless in its brutality to the tragedy of |
| Gandhi | 1982 | Ben Kingsley is a wonder as Gandhi. He amazes me each time I watch it. |
| Gemlins | 1984 | This movie is in essence Muppets Gone Wild. It is funny, entertaining, and a playful load of oozing fluids. I love it, and not just because Phoebe Cates is so cute in it. |
| Get Shorty | 1995 | This movies is a funny charmer! I love it completely. The casting was perfect. Who wouldn't laugh during this, many times? |
| Ghost | 1990 | A beautiful soundtrack, a beautiful cast, and a great story. There is little to say against this film. |

| Glengarry Glen Ross | 1992 | Gosh, what a great movie! I love it to death. I love it and watch it whenever it comes on, unless it comes on in a censored version. You HAVE to have it whole to get the full effect. It is wonderful! |
| Goodfellas | 1990 | This movie is the archetype of based on a true story gangster films. It simply tastes good. |
| Groundhog Day | 1993 | Bill Murray at his best. This is one of those films I can watch again and again, enjoying it almost as new each time I watch it. It is, basically, a Groundhog day of film for me. |
| Harry Potter 1 | 2001 | The cast and the imaginations make this movie a true gem! I was surprised at how much I liked this movie. |
| His Girl Friday | 1940 | Rosalind Russell is wonderful in this, as is Cary Grant. It is a wise-cracking good time for all. |
| Hogfather | 2007 | Yeah, it's a made for TV movie, but it is a made for TV movie that could have been shown in theaters. I love Terry Pratchett's novels, and I love this movie. I liked it the first time I watched it, but came to love it the second time I watched it. It gets better for me with each viewing. |

| Local Hero | 1983 | This visual delight of a movie is one of my top loved films. Peter Riegert is fantastic, and the great Burt Lancaster is incomparable. A |
| Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking | 1998 | I enjoy this rocking film entirely. It is thrill ride of fun and adventure. Barrels. I like it as much as I like the non-sequel to it titled SNATCH. Both are worthy top level films. |

| LOTR: Return of The King | 2003 | The best presentation of Tolkien yet! |
| LOTR: The Two Towers | 2002 | The best presentation of Tolkien yet! |
| Love at First Bite | 1979 | The BEST Dracula spoof ever made. Funny funny funny! |
| Man in The Wilderness | 1971 | Another great example of why Richard Harris was such a big star. A subtle, but poignant movie. |

| MASH | 1970 | A roughly funny movie, it is without peer in the military film genre. |
| Men in Black | 1997 | Out of the box, fantastic! |

| My Cousin Vinny | 1992 | How could anyone not like this film! It is marvelous! |

| My Favorite Year | 1982 | I didn't LOVE this film when it first came out, but later on I started to hunger to see it again. I did see it again, those years later, and found that I had grown into a person who could love it. So I do. |
| My Name is Nobody | 1974 | Terence Hill of the Trinity films plays Nobody, a fellow who is essentially Trinity. Take that good bit of news and toss in Henry Fonda and now you've got a fantastic movie. |
| Network | 1976 | Another timeless movie! When you watch it, you see how right they were about what the news media was evolving into. The story has now become, fact. |

| Once Upon a Time in America | 1984 | A better put together movie I cannot imagine. |

| Paths of Glory | 1957 | A hard anti-war movie in essence becomes one of the best war movies ever made. Powerful! |

| Spaceballs | 1987 | Before everyone and their brother started spoofing Star Wars, there was Mel Brooks doing it, and doing it well. |

| Stalag 17 | 1953 | William Holden is marvelous in this POW movie. I consider it one of the best war movies ever made. |
| Star Wars: A New Hope | 1977 | This movie came out of nowhere and blasted to the top. It did that because it is a great movie. |
| Star Wars: Return of The Jedi | 1983 | I don't consider this one of the best of the best, only one of a series that I consider the best of the best. This one left me a little wanting, a little waiting, and with a dislike for Ewoks. |
| Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back | 1980 | The second in the series, or, more properly, the 5th, this one kicked our butts and made us want more. |

| The Candidate | 1972 | Robert Redford is timeless in this serio-comic look at the nature of politics. |
| The Color Purple | 1985 | Who would think Whoopie would be at her best in a serious film! Well, she is. An Oprah is in there too, as a brutish woman. Danny Glover is in there too, crash and rude and brutal. It is an uncompromising film, amazing in all ways. |
| The Deer Hunter | 1978 | This Oscar-winning epic shows a truer side of war and how noble intent seldom survives the reality of it Stand out performances by all, it helped make stars of many of the actors in it. |
| The Elephant Man | 1980 | John Hurt is far and away above the best in this riveting and heartbreaking movie. It is a rough watch, but worth it. |
| The Exorcist | 1973 | When the movie first came out you, the audience, walked into the theater as innocents, never having seen a movie as graphic as the Exorcist before. For those first viewers the movie was a nightmare-inspiring event, one that it took years to get over. Today the movie might seem not so scary, not with movies like SAW being produced en masse, but if you come into the Exorcist as an innocent, |

| The Running Man | 1987 | Flawless it is not, but great it is. A fun ride, indeed! |
| The Seven Year Itch | 1955 | Tom Ewell at his funniest and Marilyn Monroe in her most memorable. It is a worthy film on all counts. |
| The Shawshank Redemption | 1994 | I love this movie - Especially the Special Edition of it. I enjoy it completely. |

| The Terminator | 1984 | Great movie! It not only gave us Arnold, it gave us Mega-Arnold! It also gave us Linda Hamilton (with those lips and that wonderful backside!). 'Nuff said. |
| The Three Musketeers | 1973 | Yes, Olivier Reed, Raquel Welch, Richard Chamberlain, Frank Finlay, Michael York, Charlton Heston, Faye Dunaway, and Christopher Lee. How could it NOT be fantastic! |

| Twins | 1988 | It's still funny! Watch it! It's hilarious, and Kelly Preston is sexy in it. What else do you need? |
| Underworld | 1996 | No, this is the OTHER Underworld, the one with Denis Leary and Joe Mantegna. It is HIGHLY underrated. It is both funny and serious. It's got action, intellect, and humor. I love this flick! |
| V for Vendetta | 2005 | A powerful thinking person's movie that is also an action film. Wow! This movie is terrific! |
| Victor/Victoria | 1982 | This movie is funny and great and sexy too. I enjoy watching it every few years. |
| Wall Street | 1987 | We knew in 1987 what was going on, even went so far as to make Wall Street, but it took us another 20 years to realize that it wasn't just an entertaining movie: It was the truth. |
| WALL-E | 2008 | How could you not love this movie! It is the movie Short Circuit on steroids! |
| When Harry Met Sally | 1989 | It is as good today as it was then. Funny funny funny! |
| Will Penny | 1968 | Charlton Heston at his best! This western is phenomenal. |
| Working Girl | 1988 | Melanie Griffith is great, Sigourney Weaver is great, and Harrison Ford is great. This movie is great! |
| Yes Man | 2008 | Some people don't appreciate this movie. I appreciate it. I think it has a nearly perfect mix of all elements making it quite a charming movie. |
| Yojimbo | 1961 | Toshiro Mifune as the star. A great film! |
| Young Frankenstein | 1974 | A nearly flawless film! Funny as all get out. |
| Zatoichi: The Festival of Fire | 1970 | One of my favorites of the Zatoichi series of films. |
