Any recent action/CGI movie …lol
Brando Movies (I think he is way over rated)
Too many others to mention…lol
When I think of ‘favorite’ movies, I think of movies that I’d drop what I was doing and watch any time they’re on TV.
On that list:
Forrest Gump
Coming to America
Tombstone
The Best Years of Our Lives
Inglourious Basterds
Big Trouble in Little China
Field of Dreams
O Brother , Where Art Thou?
That Thing You Do (little known movie about a 60s local rock band written and directed by Tom Hanks)
and I’ll steal Grapes of Wrath from Scratch.
And I’ll steal Come Back Little Sheba from you. Heartbreaking, with great performances by Shirley Booth and Burt Lancaster. To think a generation only knew her as Hazel.
Speaking of Burt, I’m adding Field of Dreams to favorites.
Casablanca
It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World
Rear Window
Godfather Part 1 and 2
2001: A Space Odyssey
Brazil
Forbidden Planet
Dr. Strangelove
The Apartment

The Maltese Falcon
Least favorites:
Any/all of the On The Road movies with Hope and Crosby

Dumb and Dumber (again, any of them)
Lol, I’m sure there are. I just haven’t found them? I really can not think of a western that I like. Not even anything with Robert Redford, who makes almost anything watchable, for me.

The Hangover (and every other Todd Philips film)
Every Michael Bay film, except Bad Boys and Pain & Gain.
Crimewave
Oh I’m not saying they aren’t good movies. I just don’t like westerns or science fiction. Or movies about the mafia. Or anything that’s going to make me sad.
