Number 8: Star Wars

November 9th, 2007 4:06 PM

Star Wars was my favorite movie as a kid. I enjoyed the entire series of Star Wars films but the original is easily my favorite. Obi-Won Kenobi played by Alec Guiness is the highlight of the film to me. We will see Mr. Guiness in the number 7 film as well.

Get some popcorn and enjoy!

Number 4: The Godfather part II(1974)

November 29th, 2007 2:45 PM

Godfather II is the only sequel ever to win the oscar for best picture. DeNiro won best supporting actor in the role of Vito Corleone. It is also the only time that 2 different actors each one Oscars playing the same character. Marlon Brando won the award in the original Godfather in his role as Vito Corleone.

Great movie.

The town and bride to be urge Cooper to leave town before the Miller gang arrives. In the end, the Marshall is alone. The film won 4 oscars in 1952 including best actor for Cooper.

number 6: The Big Lewbowski(1998)

November 19th, 2007 12:41 PM

Cohen bothers classic! Great cast, great story. Jeff Bridges plays "the Dude", John Goodman is Walter Sobchak and Steve Buscemi plays Donnie, 3 bowling partners that get caught up in a plot to kidnap The Big Lewbowski's Wife Bunny, played by Tara Reid. This is one of those movies that I watch whenever its on even though I have it on DVD.

Although it did not win any academy awards, it did win the Golden Aires award for Best Foreign Film in Russia. Which is nice!
