Great Movies

I snagged a list of my netflix 5-star movies and thought I'd post 'em here for grins and giggles.

Some of them I deemed 5-star (outta 5) because they are just so culturally required - Wayne's World (1992), The Jerk (1979) and Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975). Some are just pure art genius - Pi: Faith in Chaos (1998), Run Lola Run (1998) and Zelig (1983). Still others just because they are great movies - Cool Hand Luke (1967), Welcome to the Dollhouse (1996), Friday Night Lights (2004).

And remember what my daughter always says. There's no time to waste on good movies, when there's so many great movies to see.

(The same goes for books.)

Enjoy.
