The last time I posted one of these lists was in April, so I’d better explain. I decided several months ago to make a list of my 100 favorite movies. These are in alphabetical order because I couldn’t rank them. Anyway, here are links to the first 6 lists of ten.
First Ten Movies
Second Group of Ten Movies
Group Three of Ten Best Movies
Next Group of Movies from my list: 102 Best Movies
Ten More Movies: List #5
List #6 (posted in April, 2004)

And here are the next ten movies on my list:
71. Prince of Egypt (1998) In spite of the vague “spirituallity” and a few distortions of fact, I thought this movie was very well done. I was quite impressed with the chariot race at the beginning, and for the most part, the film was both reverent and dramatically compelling. Not just for kids.
72. The Princess Bride (1987) Again not just for kids. A grandfather reads his grandson a story, and the viewer gets to enjoy a movie full of great dialog, memorable characters, and “true love.”
The Grandson: A book?
Grandpa: That’s right. When I was your age, television was called books. And this is a special book. It was the book my father used to read to me when I was sick, and I used to read it to your father. And today I’m gonna read it to you.
The Grandson: Has it got any sports in it?
Grandpa: Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles…
The Grandson: Doesn’t sound too bad. I’ll try to stay awake.
Grandpa: Oh, well, thank you very much, very nice of you. Your vote of confidence is overwhelming.
73. Rear Window (1954) We just watched this Alfred Hitchcock classic again about a month ago, and I remembered how much I like jimy Stewart and how beautiful Grace Kelly was.
74. Rebecca (1940) Another Alfred Hitchcock title. I’ve already blogged about Rebecca and about Daphne du Maurier here.
75. Return of the King (2003) I think I may have put this movie on the list before I even saw it. Either you love Tolkien, the books and the movies, or you don’t see what all the fuss is about. So what else is there to say–except how could any one resist falling in love with all four of the hobbits and Aragorn, too. However, Sam is definitely the hero of the story.
76. The Right Stuff (1983) I don’t know how historically accurate this movie is (based on the book by Tom Wolfe). Nevertheless, with a husband who works for NASA and loves all things space, I had to put this one on the list. And I think the John Glenn portrayed by Ed Harris in this movie is both endearing and heroic.
77. Roman Holiday (1953) Audrey Hepburn is a princess who escapes her duties for a day and meets up with an American reporter for aan adventurous exploration of Rome. It’s fun, romantic, and sad.
78. Romeo and Juliet (1968) The director of this version of Shakespeare’s play is Franco Zeffirelli, and therefore the sets and costumes are lush and beautiful I saw this movie when I was a teenager, and I still think of the actors in Zeffirelli’s movie whenever I read Romeo and Juliet.
79. Sabrina (1954) This one is better than than the 1995 remake because the 1954 version has Audrey hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. We “chicks” like chick flicks.
80. Sense and Sensibility (1995) Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet make a nice pair of sisters with contrasting personalities–the elder very sensible, the younger emotional in the extreme. Again, you can’t go wrong with Jane Austen as long as you just stick to the story pretty much as written.
