31. Gettysburg (1993) Is there anything sadder in all of history than Pickett’s charge at Gettyburg? It’s Aristotelian tragedy in the middle of an essentially tragic war.
32. Gone with the Wind (1939) Classic. “I’ll think about that tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day.” “I don’t know nothing about birthin’ no babies, Miz Scarlett.” “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” You just have to get the accent right.
33. The Great Escape (1963) Steve McQueen is great as the American Cooler King. The rest of the cast is wonderful, too. This one is supposed to be based on a true story.
34. Harvey (1950) Jimmy Stewart plays a lovable eccentric with a friend named Harvey, a very tall rabbit that no one else can see.
35. Hello Dolly (1969) As I said before, I like Barbra Streisand in movies. This musical is one of the great Broadway musicals of all time, and Streisand is bold and brassy and funny as the matchmaker who wants a match for herself.
36. Henry V (1989) Kenneth Branaugh’s masterpiece. Henry V is inspiring, has great music, and even makes me laugh.
37. The Hiding Place (1975) Jeanette Clift George is the director of AD Players here in Houston, and she stars in this movie as Corrie Ten Boom, a middle-aged Dutch Christian who is caught hiding Jews in her home during the Nazi occupation of Holland. It’s an inspirational movie from a Christian worldview.
38. Homeward Bound (1993) Every body has to like at least one dog movie–even me, even though real dogs are not my best firends. I’ll take the ones on the screen and enjoy this story of faithful pets making their way back to their masters.
39. The Importance of Being Earnest (2002) Oscar WIlde was a mess, but he was funny. This story is so much fun and so ridiculous.
40.It Happened One Night (1934) Clark Gable is a reporter in this comedy.
