I'm a huge Kevin Smith fan, and it's not that I don't like chick flicks, they generally just don't stay with me for too long. That said, one of the movies that almost made the list is The Cutting Edge, one that my sister and I love to watch together. Jason always laughs at me when I watch it because it's so not the usual kind of movie that I watch.
I know, keeping my list to just 25 was hard! One of the few Bill Murray movies I did like was What About Bob, but not enough for it to be a favorite.
That's a good quick list, James. I'll have to watch Snatch a few more times, but it made a very favorable impression the first time and it's my friend Shawn's favorite, too. And Clerks is just comedy brilliance for anyone who has ever worked in that kind of a job.
It's a very fluid list, believe me. If I were to do this again next week, depending on my mood, some might change. Stand By Me is another favorite of mine, too. as for the westerns, I could cheerfully have listed all of Clint Eastwood's, as well a quite a few of John Wayne's, and a very cheesy one with Robert Mitchum and Marilyn Monroe called River of No Return.
Baron von Munchausen was pretty close to making the list, too. As for Sinbad, I saw it well before Clash of the Titans came out. I didn't actually see Clash of the Titans until a couple of years ago, so no fond childhood memories there. Jason and the Argonauts, though, was also close to making my list. As for comedies...Steve Martin and John Candy just annoy me, as does Bill Murray.
John, that's a movie I've really meant to watch, but just have never gotten around to.
I haven't seen any of those movies, Joe. Just added them to things I ought to watch.
Not a Monty Python guy?! Matt, I don't think we can be friends any more...
And yes, I did know that about Field of Dreams.
I went back and forth many times over 101 Dalmatians vs Robin Hood. The list is by no means set in stone, so on another day, Robin Hood might be on it.
