10 Favorite Films…
May 19th, 2008
Doug Jones over at Perigrinatio tagged me for my top 10 films. So here you go. Keep in mind, I am a pretty simple man.
In no particular order…
1. Fast Times at Ridgemont High - I used to watch this a couple of times a week with my friends in the neighborhood growing up. This movie brings back some great memories.
2. Caddyshack - I love golf and any self-respecting, wanna be golfer has to have this in their top 10 list.
3. Stripes - I am a big Bill Murray fan and the one-liners in this movie are priceless.
4. Bull Durham - I love baseball and growing up I wanted nothing more than to play MLB baseball. To bad I couldn’t hit, throw, catch or run very well.
5. The Bourne Movies - Obviously, I am counting this as one movie. Deep in my heart, I am a part of Treadstone.
6. Unforgiven - Three words: Eastwood, Freeman and Hackman. Three of the best.
7. Die Hard - “Yippe ky yeah … ”
8. Hoosiers - “I think you boys will find that these are the same measurements as our gym back in Hickory.” Dennis Hopper was amazing in this movie.
9. Bells of St. Mary’s - Father O’Malley and Sister Benedict… gotta love the generosity of one Horace P. Bogardus!
10. Big - Learning to cope with the world of adults. I still struggle with that.

“jimmy get the tape measure….”
I called it! I am doing pretty good with my predictions - I dig hoosiers, as well… is “field of dreams” too “out there?”
Big - rocks, “I get the top!”
Stripes - yeah that is definitely classic stuff… (I have never seen caddyshack the whole way through though - criminal, eh?) Did you watch meatballs as a kid as well - that is also some classic Murray…
Thanks for playing Chris.

maybe we will bump into each other “out on assignment.”
They are great books to read on vacation. The books are a lot different than the movies. So if you need more Bourne–I would recommend them.
