A MONDAY MORNING LOOK BACK!

A short time ago, I made a promise to list the films that I've presented here on this BLOG Page every Thursday for a feature called "Friday Movie Suggestion Night". With a tongue in cheek sensibility, I don't really take myself seriously. But I do take my love of film very seriously! For Newcomers: I began this feature on September 15, 2005. For reasons I'll never know, I failed to save 2006's featured film listings (a.k.a. A Dumb Mistake). So, at least 52 films are "Missing". But the positive side of all of this is that I managed to salvage a good sampling of what happens here on Thursdays. Okay, here we go!

Great movie choices, Michael! I liked Message in a Bottle, but not the ending. I liked Horse Whisperer and Fabulous Baker Boys. Dirty Dancing is almost a cult film.
There's a lot of movies here I haven't seen, so hopefully HBO is listening too.

Thats quite the list of movies and I think there are 7 seven i have never seen or don;t remember seeing.
I am a big movie fan and have over 1000 now on my racks and all worth more than just one viewing especially with the meager offerings they have on TV now a days.

Hi Michael,
Out of your long list. I have seen 15 of them. Some I didnt even finish watching and most were from when I was a kid. Nowadays I just dont enjoy movies. I prefer to read the novel. I have never been much of a sit and watch person! When I do watch a movie I usually enjoy it, if i dont get 'into' the story pretty quick, It gows off! We dont watch TV here except for the occasional Hoockey game, the kids dont either. My favorite from your list was Roy Orbison, Black and White. But that wasnt really like a typical movie! I am really the odd one out when friends or co workers are discussing the latest film or tv show!
The last movie I watched was 'Enchanted' with Kayla in the hospital back in April.
I do enjoy musicals.

Seraphine: Hopefully a little something for everyone here.:)

Walker: Wow! 1,000 is quite a collection!

Susan: Interesting! I try to mix it up quite a bit and keep it interesting. Nice to hear from you!:)

Damn, What a list! Thanks for that. I always wanted to ask you for this. Should I ever have time to watch an entire movie a week, this list will come in handy.

Patti: Hope you and Maddie have fun this week. In fact, I know you will! :D

jean-luc-picard: This list should be reviewed by the Crew of the USS Enterprise for inclusion in the Library!

Bud: Thanks and Good Luck on the upcoming gig and videotaped performance! Very exciting!!

That is quite a list. The cool thing about movies is that there is always room for another good one.
