How do you choose a favorite indeed? Here are a few of mine:
Breaker Morant- The finest thing to come out of Australia in the last 50 years. One of the best movies I've ever seen.
Pink Flamingos- Hell, anything directed by John Waters. I'm from Baltimore. Whaddya expect?
The Sands of Iwo Jima- Worth watching just to hear John Wayne utter the immortal words: "Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid." Amen.
The Blues Brothers- The cameo of John Lee Hooker in front of Aretha Franklin's diner redeems any other shortcomings this movie may have.
Grosse Pointe Blank- I can't explain why. Maybe it's the soundtrack. Maybe it's Minnie Driver in the tight green shirt. Maybe it's the final shootout while Dan Akroyd tries to convince John Cusack to join his union. It's all good.
Titanic- I watch Titanic for the same reason people slow down to stare at car wrecks. This movie sucks in so many ways it's impossible NOT to watch. I can't help it. I giggle like a schoolgirl every time I see the top of Leonardo DiCaprio's head disappearing under the water.
