    Man, how in the hell could I forget about Dr. Strangelove...I know, I was looking at my collection, and I don't have that one yet. Put that number 6 overall.

    Methinks Manny is a Hitchcock fan.

    Dern! :mad:, after being reminded about others that I like, I could go on and on editing my top 30. For example, the good, the bad, and the ugly would be in my top 15, ...and as much I enjoyed Mel Gibson's "mad max" trilogy; at least one of them should be in my top 30...and there is...Dances with wolves that I really liked...then...o well, I'll leave it as I originally posted :eek: .......

    Yup. Also a big fan of Kubrick, but I never really cared for Dr. Strangelove. I have like 30 of Hitchcock's movies on tape.

    Mr. Holland's Opus is a great movie that I overlooked....it replaces Point Break which was sorta a weak choice anyway.
