On the Waterfront – There is nothing wrong with this film, and there is a whole lot of good about it. All of the actors are fantastic (Obviously Brando, but the whole cast is great.) The story line is intriguing and the themes are universally relevant. Nothing better.

Top ten list: (My favorites; I know these are not the greatest achievements in film history, but they impacted me the most.)

1. On the Waterfront
2. The Deer Hunter
3. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
4. The Godfather
5. Psycho
6. Annie Hall
7. Raiders of the Lost Ark
8. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
9. The Princess Bride
10. The Fellowship of the Ring
