Re: Your Top Ten?
10 is tough. I'll try. Not in order.
Contact - Carl Sagan is my homeboy.
Interstellar - Only because I have the same jacket as Matthew McConnaughey.
The Day The Earth Stood Still - Required viewing for any science fiction fan. Actually this takes 2001's spot on my list. Similar in scope and ambition, but better.
Catch-22 - All-star cast and, in my opinion, faithful telling of the story. The scene with the old man in the brothel is one of my top movie scenes ever.
The Return of The King - Theoden rallying Rohan for the charge gets me every time. EVERY.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail - Monumentally important to nerd pop culture in my day. I've seen it dozens of times.
Miller's Crossing - What's the rumpus?
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly - Gorgeous.
World's Greatest Dad - I think this movie captures the very truest essence of what being a writer means.
The Matrix - After the sequels and so many movies with similar style, it doesn't stand out like it used to. When this was in the theater, though, it was mind-altering.
