There's nothing like going to the movie show! The old drive-ins we went to with my parents, the large downtown movie theaters that even had balconies. the old Court Theater in Saginaw that on Saturday afternoons would show a double feature, cartoons, a serial chapter and more for no more than a quarter or two. Even the suburban megaplexes with their cushier chairs, stadium seating, deluxe sound systems and 3D. Of course, now, admission may take a trip to the small loan department!
So I could wax all day about my love affair with going to the movies. And that's just one of many ways people see great movies now. They might download them, watch them on TV, rent a DVD, or even see them on their phone.
For my new Ripping Good Yarn award, I would like to start a Hall of Fame for movies. We will start with a general category, for movies all types. these movies are a mix of my selections and movies nominated by Rippers. They included only movies made before 2000..
Please look at the following and vote for one of the following to be our first Hall of Fame entry. There are no rules of judgement regarding selection. It can be a personal favorite, or you can have well reasoned logic based on critical review or even box office. It's all up to you! you can vote for more than one if you like, but then I will fraction your vote accordingly. Feel free to vote or comment here or on Facebook.
Here are the ten nominees to pick from:
Wizard of Oz
Gone with the Wind
It's A Wonderful Life
Casablanca
Lord of the Rings
Back to the Future
North by Northwest
North by Northwest
Jurassic Park
Schindler's List
Raiders of the Lost Ark
I wait your input, Rippers! The final selection is yours!
I will vote for Casablanca. Just to balance things out.
ReplyDeleteA nice selection of movies... Hard to pick just one. Wizard of Oz, brings back a lot of fond memories from the past and now with the grandchildren.

ReplyDeleteOops - where is auto-correct when I need it? Gone with the Wind!
DeleteI thought you were suggesting a spin-off for Lord of the Rings!
