After making my top five list of movies for Five Friday Favorites I was accosted by all that I had forgotten this that and the other movies. Needless to say a more complete list is needed of my my favorite movies. My Dad, who is a movie expert (in his opinion and I suppose in mine as well) insisted on giving his top list too. Our lists are pretty similar but we differ on some points. However both of our lists are similar in that the 1995 miniseries of Pride and Prejudice is our favorite movie. Besides that though, accept for Casablanca definitely being my Dad's second favorite movie, the movies are in no particular order.
These are movies that I would recommend pretty much without reserve. The only movies that I can think of with anything questionable sex wise in them are Groundhog Day, The Gods Must be Crazy and Serenity, and those would also be questionable language wise as well as Signs and Conspiracy Theory, and for violence Serenity, Conspiracy Theory, and Signs, but I would always recommend that you look at the content advisory on IMDB before watching a movie as everyones standards are different. As you can see, modern movies tend to more questionable. :) So here are the ultimate lists of my father and I. :)
