This is the founder of Obscure Studios and (currently) its top screenwriter and director. Here are my top ten favorite films of all time. Can I get a drum roll, please?
-------------------------------------
10. Forrest Gump
An amazing human story that encapsulates the social and political movements of a generation, all told through an innocent, yet insightful narrator.
9. Ocean's 11
The remake with George Clooney and friends is quick, witty, smart, and an overall exciting heist film.
8. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
A sci-fi parable of the fall of the Soviet Union, with as much political intrigue and suspense as you can handle.
7. Throw Momma from the Train
Funny, suspenseful, and downright weird, this is a must see for any writer.
6. The Bridge on the River Kwai
A gripping tale of prisoners of war in Southeast Asia during WWII.
5. Double Indemnity
This dark thriller delivers a rollercoaster ride of excitement and surprising twists. The greatest of the film noir genre.
4. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
It's ridiculous, it's off-the-wall, and the ending is, shall we say...abrupt. But, you can't help but love this film. Superior quotability.
3. The Great Dictator
A stunning political statement, as well as a funny and heartfelt film. Chaplin's greatest achievement.
2. Good Night and Good Luck
An artistic and thought-provoking drama of one reporter's legendary struggle with the infamous Senator McCarthy.
1. Casablanca
The best film of all time. It's got everything: action, suspense, romance, intrigue. The best of the best, hands-down.
HONORABLE MENTION:
The Gold Rush
The Maltese Falcon
On the Waterfront
Duck Soup
Star Wars (A New Hope)
The Dark Knight
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Spaceballs
