Very good list👍
I've always been unengaged with the Harry Potters yet I 'saw' them all with the kids, I don't know anything about Fifty Shades but I know a lot of married dudes who wondered where all of the batteries went to and I never got into The Matrix....I know, heresy on The matrix thing:/

The rest of your list is good to great

reply

That's okay, we all have our likes and dislikes you are more than welcome to add your own list to this so we can share each others favorites. I'm gonna do my favorite musicals.

reply

Needs more Halloween II.

reply

Oh yeah I will do a Horror films list as well. Do you think they would mind if I posted my Oscars 2020 predictions on here?

reply

Sure. I will be rooting for "The Irishman 2: Still Irish"

reply

LOL I saw 1917 on Friday with my Dad that film is amazing it's so going to win Best Picture and Best Director

reply

I'll have to check it out.

reply

Please do, you'll love it. The way it's filmed is amazing and so beautiful.

reply

I saw 1917 yesterday and I do agree, it’s a beautiful film. The trench scenes were reminiscent of Paths of Glory. Amazing camera work. I found myself wondering if it would have been more effective to have a minimal score like Saving Private Ryan.

reply

I'm still mad Saving Private Ryan didn't win best picture at the Oscars in 1998 but I was glad Spielberg won Best Director he earned that award.

reply

I do agree.

reply

I saw 1917 today. Very well crafted film, but I'm not convinced it will win picture and director.

reply

Oh Best Picture all the way.

reply

I can’t count how many times I’ve seen The Sound of Music. 🤣Goodfellas 👍

I love looking at people’s favorites list and I’ve found many wonderful films that way here on MC.
