John Wick
There’s a few more but 🤷♀️ what’s everyone else’s?
Oooh this is a good question. I never really gave this any kind of thought before. Honestly it’s really hard to narrow it down to four.
1. Any of the original trilogy of Star Wars. I do not recognize the existence any other Star Wars films or television shows.
2. The John Wick films even though I didn’t care for John Wick 3 but 4 made up for it.
3. Full Metal Jacket or really any Stanley Kubrick film
4. The first three Indiana Jones Movies. I do not recognize the existence of any other Indiana Jones movies.
Honorable mentions: Lost in Translation, the Thin Red Line, and Patton.
1. The Thin Man (1934). William Powell and Myrna Loy were perfection as Nick & Nora Charles.
2. The Best Years of Our Lives (1946). One of the first films to address “shell shock” (PTSD) and the difficulties WWII soldiers faced when returning home.
3. Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (1948). Cary Grant and Myrna Loy attempt to build a home in Connecticut, and nothing goes right. Melvyn Douglas was excellent in this movie, too.
4. Rear Window (1955). Grace Kelly was magical.
Honorable mentions - Dial M for Murder, Room for One More, The Birds
Tagging @jwclapton and anyone else who would like to join!
1. Any Sonja Henie film. She’s the one who kick-started my interest in figure skating about three years ago. I’ll go with her first one, One in a Million (1936). Plenty of fine skating and song!
2. Any Deanna Durbin film. I’ll choose Can’t Help Singing (1944) for this one. I just adore her and her singing so much.
3. It’s Love I’m After (1937). One of my favorite screwball comedies. It’s also my favorite of the three films in which Bette Davis and Leslie Howard costarred.
4. Beauty and the Beast (1991). My favorite Disney movie by a long way. I reject the existence of the 2017 version completely.
Also recommended: Happy Landing and Mad About Music (both 1938); The Wizard of Oz (1939); Ball of Fire (1941).
