[AGL] What are your favorite 10 films of all time?

[Gerry]

After seeing your list I was in town yesterday and rented Frida which I watched last night. A pretty amazing flick alright with great music and costumes, amazing color, decent acting, etc. But in the end it is a woman's movie, an epic melodrama about the poor suffering wives of a charming philanderer, produced directed inspired and conceived by women--with a venegance. Must have been a joy to make. Must have cost a sum about equal to the gross national product of Peru and Ecuador combined...The singing voice was Lila Downs, very strong and fitting for the heroine of the movie but not so musical as a thousand other possible choices among the excellent bolero singers of Mexico.

Anyhow, thanks for the tip. I had read reviews of it awhile back but had forgotten about it. 

A tip for the hearing impaired for whom watching movies has become a frustrating chore: get a good pair of earphones with a volume control and plug them into the sound outlet at the back of the computer. Makes a big difference. I am on the verge of trashing the TV as I did the stereo and making the computer the home entertainment center for all media.
