FWIW I find most of what came out of "the golden age of Hollywood" to be unwatchable much as I find almost all TV prior to Hill St. Blues and All in the Family to be a complete waste of time.


>Mike got me interested in The Big Chill so I watched it and have to say that while it was entertaining, it won't make my top 10 list.
>Here's my personal top 10.
>
>
>1. Casablanca
>2. Godfather I
>3. On The Waterfront
>4. Chinatown
>5. Lawrence of Arabia
>6. The English Patient
>7. A Streetcar Named Desire
>8. Ghandi
>9. Chariots of Fire
>10. The Verdict
>
>If I had room I'd add a Nora Ephron film, a Billy Wilder film or a Mel Brooks film.
>
>The Verdict nosed out A Few Good Men for the10 spot. Nicholson was awesome but David Mamet's screenplay and Paul Newman's performance are just too good.
>
>The English Patient owes its place to Juliette Binoche.
>
>Chariots of Fire isn't on many other lists, but for me it's one of the most all-around beautiful films ever made.
>
>Casablanca is an easy #1. That film has it all.
>
>Citizen Kane, #1 on a lot of lists, doesn't move me, nor do Fellini films, also on most lists.
