That line from My Cousin Vinny when they are in court and Joe Pesci asks Marisa Tomei: “Are you suuure?” My husband says that to me in just that way and I always answer “Positive!”

We are a family that speaks in film dialogue quite often, lol!

LOL… My Cousin Vinny is such a funny movie and it has great quotes! I still say “yutes” all these years later.

The movies I’ve seen many times are:
  1. Jesus of Nazareth (Seems it’s on TV every Easter).
  2. Demolition Man (Love this movie!).
  3. Kung Fu Hustle ( This movie is hilarious ! ).
  4. A Christmas Story (Of course, this is on TV every Christmas).
  5. High Noon (SUCH a great movie).

Last Five for me: These are lesser known (perhaps for a reason) but are still very good, in my opinion.
  1. The Way (Martin Sheen, about a father finishing the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela started by his late estranged son.
  2. Mr Mom (Michael Keaton) - sentimental comedy about a recently laid off dad.
  3. My Life (also Michael Keaton, Nicole Kidman) - a man comes to terms with a fast moving fatal cancer. Very touching.
  4. I am Sam (Sean Penn, Michelle Pfeiffer) - a mentally challenged father tries to win back custody of his beloved young daughter.
  5. A Few Good Men (“You can’t HANDLE the truth” (Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore). This one is a more well known film.

A Few Good Men

I thought Jack Nicholson was just superb in that role.

Trivia: Nicholson’s line was different from “You can’t handle the true.” but he ad libbed the line and the director went with it.
 
That’s one movie I wish TCM would have more often. I’ve only seen it once or twice and would love to see it again.
 
1.The Sound of Music

2.Pride and Prejudice (Jennifer Ehle/Colin Firth)—ok so not really a movie…
  1. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
  2. The Scarlet Pimpernel (Anthony Andrews /Jennifer Ehle) —also not really a movie
  3. Airplane
  4. The Blues Brothers (original)
Two these are not really feel films but tv miniseries , but I couldn’t help myself…

Edited to add “White Christmas”—a yearly tradition

To name just five:

Lawrence of Arabia (I think I could happily watch all four hours of this every day, given the chance!)
A Man for all Seasons
Mary Queen of Scots (the 1971 version with Vanessa Redgrave and Glenda Jackson)
The Ladykillers (1955 version)
The Vikings (with the late Kirk Douglas)
 
  1. Seven Samurai
  2. Blade Runner
  3. Goodfellas
  4. Chariots of Fire
  5. Saving Private Ryan
 
For me it was sad beginning, sad middle with some intermittent humor, with happy and touching ending
 
My religious list:

A Man for All Seasons
The Mission
Millions
Sullivan’s Travels
Mr Magoo’s Christmas Carol (this really is the definitive one, don’t listen to those people touting Alistair Sim)
 
Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol is pretty good.

Little Mr. Magoo singing how alone he was. 🤧
 
  1. The Lord of the Rings (technically, they’re three films, but I’ll count them as one)
  2. Goodfellas
  3. The Godfather
  4. 1776
  5. The Imitation Game

I’M ALL ALONE IN THE WORLD

A hand for each hand was planned for the world.
Why don’t my fingers reach?

Millions of grains of sand in the world.
Why such a lonely beach?

Where is a voice to answer mine back?
Where are two shoes that click to my clack?
I’m . . . all alone . . . in the world.
