Anthony
Somewhat younger movie lover....I have always loved watching movies and talking about them with anybody who would listen or show the slightest inkling that they may love them too. I am also a huge lover and supporter of live Theatre and think more people in today's society should go see more plays/musicals. I do love being able to talk to and associate with many other arts lovers on this site and am always open for any discussion.

Ingmar Bergman is usually my go-to answer when it comes to this question.
I’d say my current top 5 would be:
Bergman

Casey Affleck, Manchester by the SeaAugust 9, 2019 at 6:51 am #1203017332I’ve always found SHAWSHANK to be quite overrated, while FORREST GUMP is entertaining though not Best Picture material.
PULP FICTION gets my vote but even my love for it has dimmed in recent years.
I do have to acknowledge QUIZ SHOW which was a very well made movie that held up well on my somewhat recent rewatch of it. FOUR WEDDINGS, while probably not on my personal shortlist, is a very good romantic comedy.
RED, ED WOOD, and ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA are three films I would’ve considered for nominations.

ReplyJune 10, 2019 at 10:40 am #1202931175For such a flawed musical, it’s amazing how stellar PIPPIN can turn out when staged and performed by such talented people.
ReplyJune 10, 2019 at 10:38 am #1202931169I voted for A View from the Bridge, as it completely made me rethink everything about that show. It was a stunning exercise.
I did love quite a few of these other winners though.
ReplyJune 10, 2019 at 10:36 am #1202931167Honestly, I could make a case for several of these but for now, I’m tossing my vote to a Andrew Garfield.
