Back when I lived in Chicago... well before I met Daddy... I asked Gramma what movies SHE would recommend and I rented one or two a weekend and was happy that I was able to relate to what she was talking about. Again... great life lessons, heart wrenching, gripping... some sad, some happy, some funny and all important with some life lesson. Here is my list. Whoever reads this feel free to chime in under the comments.
- Remember the Titans
- The Help
- The Blind Side
- Crash
- The Passion
- Schindler’s List
- Saving Private Ryan
- The Green Mile
- Braveheart
- Gran Torino
- Hotel Rwanda
- Good Will Hunting
- A Beautiful Mind
- The Notebook
- We Are Marshall
- Rudy
- The Shawshank Redemtion
- The Godfather (heck, just
watch ‘em all because you are part Italian)
- The Silence of the Lambs –
because there ARE creepy people out there
- Gladiator
- Platoon
- Rocky (just watch it and don't complain about Adriaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaane!)
- A Beautiful Mind - have patience for people that seem "odd" - they may actually be brilliant!
- Old Yeller
- Secretariat - GO with your gut... you may win BIG!
- Star Wars - old ones beat the new ones by a mile!
- Raiders Of The Lost Ark
- Legends Of The Fall - why Mommy loved the name Tristan
- Tristan and Isolde - why Daddy loves your name...
OH - And any and every movie that involves dancing - Foot Loose, Dirty Dancing, Step Up, Shall We Dance, etc.....
And of COURSE... Wizard Of Oz, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, etc... but Mommy can show you those SOON!
I could go on and on... but I won't.
Again... Daddy's list will be full of movies that involve risk and water (like The Perfect Storm) and as I said ... I watched...
- To Kill A Mockingbird
- It's a Wonderful Life
- Wuthering Heights
- Casablanca
- Singin' In The Rain
- The Apartment
- The Graduate
- Streetcar Named Desire
- Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?
- Some Like It Hot... I think that was one..or maybe Grapes Of Wrath... I can't remember
I wrote a nice long comment yesterday but it wouldn't go through so I'll try a shorter one..Lots of good movies and I've seen them all...I'll add The Goodbye Girl and You've Got Mail as two of my favorite Chick flicks....Love you, Barbers!!
