Five Best American Movies... ever

Kinda stupid to stand and applaud a movie screen IMO, but something of a remarkable scene nonetheless.

Taxi Driver and Raging Bull are two of my favorites.

Oh, please! Gump? Over Pulp Fiction?

Gump over Valley of the Dolls or Howard the Duck, maybe.

Nope, Gump over Fiction, and Ed Wood over both.

!.  To Kill a Mockingbird (no explaining needed, it's just the F'n best.)
2.  Apocalypse Now (because it changed my view of war forever)
3.  Schindler's List (the amazing power of one man to change so many lives)
4.  Tender Mercies (Robert Duvall's best performance and a great story)
5.   Class Action (one of Gene Hackman's best performances.-the dance at the end makes me cry and I don't cry in movies-ever)

This is cheating, but 5 and a half through at least 10 or 12 would be a list of all Mel Brooks movies. I only laughed so hard I  fell out of my seat at one movie during my lifetime and it was Young Frankenstein.
Ummmm, Big Knockers
