Top 5 Favorite Movies

I asked the Fools to share their Top 5 favorite movies. I can’t believe we didn’t have any overlap, but heeeeeeere they are.

Stripes — Classic lines and he goes from zero to hero in a hilarious fashion!
A Fish Called Wanda — Cleese, Kline, and Lee Curtis (before the Activia days). Enough said!
Raiders of the Lost Ark — A history lesson with guns, knives, swords, and snakes.
Star Wars — As a 13-year-old walking out of the theater, all I wanted to be was Luke Skywalker.
Zombie Movies — Dawn of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead, Day of the Dead. Classic scary movies. Great to see with your girl.

Strangers on a Train — Hitchcock’s brilliant thriller with an amazing and death-defying ending!
A Clockwork Orange — With their own language and a love for lashings – these boys are insane!
Uncle Buck — My father & I’s ultimate family comedy with the amazing John Candy.
The Shining — Kubrick’s beautiful thriller that I watch repeatedly. HERE’S JOHNNY!
The Squid & The Whale — Excellent acting & a first-rate story about the despondent realities of divorce.

Die Hard — Perfect action movie, the right mix of ridiculous and plausible with a great villain (Snape!).
Dumb & Dumber — More laughs per minute than any other movie. And max quotable.
The Dark Knight — Finally the Joker is menacing again.
Pee-wee’s Big Adventure — Probably darker than you remember. And funnier too!
Apocalypse Now — A unique adaptation of the source material that becomes its own crazy thing.

Do we have good taste? What did you learn about the Fool crew from our favorite selections? And what are your favorite movies?
