Tyrone, you’re the man! ‘Millers Crossing’ is one of the most under-appreciated Coen brothers films. I couldn’t pick just one of their films for my list, so I went with their first, which is a great film in and of itself.

Nice list, Tom! ‘The Bride of Frankenstein’ is one of those rare sequels that out does it’s predecessor.

1 Once upon a time in the west. The greatest film ever. Panned by every critic in America. Sergio Leone’s best film with Morricone’s superb music. Bronson, Robards and A very wicked Henry Fonda.
2. Miller’s Crossing is my favorite Cohens Brothers movie.
3. Wifemistress. last movie I saw before going to College.
4. Ran Kurosawa masterpiece. My first film out of the service
5. Hard Times. Coburn and Bronson together again. One of Walter Hill’s Best works
6. Wild In the Streets 14 or fight. LSD revolution ROCK and a very young Richard Pryor
7. The Long Ships. Sidney Poitier and Richard Widmark. Swashbuckling, vikings, Moors and a legend of golden bell
8. the original and the remake both had me on the edge of my seat. I saw the remake(sorcerer) in a film class.
9. Goodfellas is the movie that Scorsese should have won best picture and director for.
10. I saw 7th Voyage when I was 3 and Jason and the Argosnauts when I was 7. forget Lucas and Speilberg. Ray Harryhussenis the greatest thrill provider ever.
