Anything X-Men or has Wolverine involved. I love magic movies. I love sports movies like "Hoosiers" I live for the underdog story. "Remember the Titans" is one of my favorite movies. At the end of the movie, when the quarterback blocked for the runner, I was in tears yelling "TEAMWORK!!!"
Duck Soup, Marx Brothers. The first hour of the original The Producers and the first hour of King Of Comedy are amazing and unforgettable. Blazing Saddles and Step Brothers have my favorite endings.
In The Heat of The Night, On the Waterfront, Millers Crossing, The Roaring Twenties, Midnight Cowboy, The Heartbreak Kid (the original) and more..
One thing I never get tired of is the film Burden of Dreams, which is the documentary by Les Blank about Werner Herzog trying to make a movie called Fitzcarraldo, which involves moving a steamship over a steep hill.

It’s tense and fascinating because the film crew is in a terrible predicament, yet it’s fundamentally hilarious because it’s a predicament that they put themselves in. No one asked them to do this. I find a lot of life is bitching about having to do something like mov...

These are movies that, after seeing them, inspired me to go make…something, anything! Since I don’t know how old you are, you should know there’s some titles that are incredibly adult (Clockwork Orange, Enter the Void, Chopper, Come and See, Blue Velvet come to mind) so beware. But enjoy and be open; that’s how I like to approach a movie. And turn off you phone and don’t check your email, it affects the experience. 8 ½ Abigail’s Party Ace in the Hole Act of Killing Aguirre, The Wrath of God Airplane Ali: Fear Eats the Soul Alien (Scott) All About My Mother All that Jazz All the Presidents Men American Friend Amores Parros Apocalypto Apollo 13 Ashes and Diamonds Asphalt Jungle Awful Truth, T...

...You can Stop reading this email anytime, and I will assume I have lost about 75% of you by now. For those of you still reading I’d like to offer you some recommendations for some great movies you could watch with your free time. First, three films by a great director from back in the 30s and 40s named Frank Borzage. This guy was way ahead of his time. He had a sense of rare sense of human dialogue especially for the era and he picked terrific stories to tell. Three Comrades Flight Command (Amazing air combat sequences considering the time they were filmed) Strange Cargo (There does not exist a bad movie with Joan Crawford In it. She was a great judge of scripts and used her star ...
