Official Luthiers Forum!

There are quite a few movies that I've found to be outstanding, but it seems like they're becoming fewer and further between these days.

Can't believe nobody's mentioned "Casablanca" yet. I'd agree with others, regarding "Shawshank Redemption," "Milagro Beanfield War," "Oh Brother Where Art Thou," and "North by Northwest."

I would add to that list "Charade," "To Catch a Thief," "Cannary Row," "Lion King," and "Get Shorty."

Best,

Michael

I tend to like anything done by Tom Hanks, and also most stuff by Nicholas Cage. Not sure why.
Oh....and "Sweet Home Abalam"...
I mean, Alabama.

Ah, Nicolas Cage..."whatanactah"!    He's right in there with my favorite line ever..."Ah seyed, put...th' bunnih...baack...in th' baw-ux"...

Leaving Las Vegas is one i forgot to mention, Nicholas Cage was excellent and very thirsty! Hic! Excellent movie!

Good for you, Don A!
Until his post, no one had mentioned Braveheart.
It should get more than one vote, so:
Braveheart

Braveheart

Also enjoy Notting Hill when in the mood for British humor.
Which, by the way is most often--their sense of humor is SO much funnier than ours here in America.
