Top 5 Movies of All Time (subject to change with mood):
|
1. Casablanca
Bogey, Ingred, and two dead German couriers...what more could one ask for in a film?
2. Psycho
This movie is so good that someone ought to re-create it shot fot shot...Doh! Already happened. Well, maybe in 20 years George Lucas will go back and digitally create those scenes with Jabba the Hut that Hitchcock wished he had the technology to make.
3. Shawshank Redemption
Two words...Morgan - frickin' - Freeman.
4. A Clockwork Orange
True, it's very disturbing, and I doubt I'll ever watch it again. But once you've seen it, you'll never forget it. I kinda think that's what Kubrick had in mind.
5. Kicking and Screaming
My indie selection. Made on a $50 budget, and featuring the star power of Eric Stoltz and Elliot Gould, this movie really captures the disillusionment of post-graduate 20-somethings (which I happen to be now).

Top 5 All Time 80's Songs (subject to change with memory):
|
1. Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2
This song is a great example of what only Bono can do- write a song that can be interpreted on three completely different levels...interpersonal, spiritual, and political.
2. The Living Years - Mike & the Mechanics
A great song that has real meaning (something that was very optional in 80's music).
3. In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins
A moody hit that might've always been overlooked if not for a tv show with Don Johnson in Wayfarers, but you have to admit that when you hear it on the radio, you don't touch a button til you that "Well, I remember" part.
4. Lady in Red - Chris DeBurgh
More than just a soundtrack song for an insidious Gene Wilder movie, this song has the ability to make you feel completely alone whether you're in a roomful of people, or stuck in a blizzard at a Pizza Hut outside of Washington DC with an old friend and an even older jukebox.
5. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Wham
Sure it has no meaning, but admit it, when you're in your car with the windows rolled up, you're singing along with that "Doo-doo-doo" part:)

Top 5 Sitcoms No Longer Running:
|
1. Seinfeld
The King. Whodathunk that so many memories would spawn from a show about nothing?
2. Cheers
Now, that I'm an aspiring alcoholic, its re-runs have new and inspired meaning to me.
3. Saturday Night Live
Yeah, I know that a show by that name still comes on Saturdays at 11:30 pm, but you and I both know that show ended when Hartman, Myers, and Carvey left. Let's remember how it used to be...when the actors had more than one character apiece.
4. SCTV
Not many people I know have had the priviledge to see this, but any show that features a roundtable discussion skit with the line "Quiet everyone! The boy from Deliverance has something to say!" is alright in my book.
5. Monty Python's Flying Circus
Not for everyone, but when you're in the right mood, those guys are hilarious. Had the ability to be stupid, but brilliantly written at the same time.
