Top 100 Fav Movies

Top 100 movies (an in depth look at the films)

1. Tombstone
Incredible cast. Incredible lines. Incredible. Kilmer’s Doc and Russell’s Wyatt are Unforgettable. Every movie has a story. This one has a legend. Woefully, neglected among classics.
2. Bottle Rocket
Funniest movie ever made. Dignan is one of my personal heroes. This is what filmmaking should become. Hooray for the Wilson boys and Wes Anderson. I wish I had a 75-year plan.
3. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
Every scene in the true to life laughfest hits close to home. Simply amazing in every joke sequence. “That it is Edward. That it is indeed.”
4. Mystery Men
This warped view of superheroes makes us all realize the good in all of us. It also makes us almost wet ourselves with some tremendous comedy. “I shovel well, Helen. I shovel very well.”
5. Tommy Boy
No one ever has been or ever will be better at physical comedy than C. Farley. Spade is great. So are the supporters. “Not so much, here or here, but right here.”
6. Dumb and Dumber
Fun and Funner as the laughs flock like the salmon of Capastrano.
7. Best in Show
The best mockumentary ever made. Also the best documentary ever made.

The second best Western ever. Find the good guy in this one. I dare you.

Movie - Still a brewing

Well, I have hit kind of a rough spot on the film, but it is still a brewing. Hopefully, I'll be purchasing the editing equipment in the next month or so. We have about 5 more scenes to shoot that can probably be knocked out in a day or two of shooting. It's coming. Be ready.
