marty's movie mania is contagious

i think marty ford may be mine (and julie's) long-lost brother. he's as "into" movies as we are! his recent post identified his top ten movies, taken from AFI's list of the 100 top movies of all time. (and yes, marty, i stayed up until 2:00 am watching the west coast AFI tv special last week ~ i'm a moron: i have TiVo! why didn't i set it???)

here's my first list, with ten movies taken from AFI's list (in no particular order):

1. it's a wonderful life
2. all about eve
3. to kill a mockingbird
4. some like it hot
5. the philadelphia story
6. rocky
7. casablanca
8. shawshank redemption
9. gone with the wind
10. american graffiti

now, here are my top ten favorites of all time (in no particular order)...a few of which made the AFI list:

1. when harry met sally
2. random harvest
3. brief encounter
4. all about eve
5. it's a wonderful life
6. cinderella man
7. the quiet man
8. to kill a mockingbird
9. little miss sunshine
10. pride and prejudice
honorable mentions: pillow talk, sense and sensibility, the philadelphia story

it is funny, i have had that same thought..i take that as a huge complement. Thanks.

It is so difficult to choose just 10 movies...there have been some great ones...

AFI released a list of 100 Best movie lines..it is fantastic! So many of them I could recite wiht out thinking about it.."Badges? We don't need no stinking badges...."
