Here is one of those countless Internet memes posted to Facebook, but it grabbed my attention because I immediately started making my list.
These 25 are pretty much off the top of my head, in no particular order:
- Twister
- Animal House
- Singin’ in the Rain
- In Harm’s Way
- Gettysburg
- Starship Troopers
- The Horse Soldiers
- WarGames
- Von Ryan’s Express
- Manhattan
- The Patriot
- The Producers
- Airplane!
- Sink the Bismarck!
- Vertigo
- Mindwalk
- Grease
- Master and Commander
- The Sound of Music
- The Shift
- Patriot Games
- All the President’s Men
- When Harry Met Sally
- Jaws
- Major League
It’s hardly an exhaustive list, but definitely representative. A mix of genuine classics and others that tend to fall in the good-but-not-great category. It is very short on foreign films and art house releases, reflecting my very middlebrow tastes.
What’s on your list?!?!
