Yeah, then there's She's The One also :-) I think my compilation would end up being about 5 cds long!!
No surprise at your dislike of MQOA.. I am convinced noone else likes this ;-)
Some great choices there! You've got some of my faves: Candy's Room, Roulette, Tougher Than The Rest (they would definitely be on my compilation)...Really difficult to narrow it down to 3 cds...Think I would include So Young & In Love, Rendezvous, Incident.. 10th Avenue Freeze Out and Mary Queen Of Arkansas (I think there's only me who actually likes that track so wouldn't expect to see it on anyone else's list..:-))
Great list!
I echo your sentiments Afterhours about Pacino's performance in The Godfather. His performance is sublime starting out as a young guy with his whole life ahead of him not wanting to be involved in the 'family business' with his own ideas. Then onto becoming Don Corleone etc. and winding up basically a lonely old man. His portrayal is superb. It was based on Puzo's character and Puzo also wrote the screen play (with Copolla) and IMHO it is quite close to the book (though obviously huge chunks have been condensed otherwise it would have been about 6 hours long)!! I loved all 3 Godfather films but can understand people not being keen on the third (maybe the killer priests thing is not to everyone's taste....)

Nice to see the Marx Bothers on your list! Breakfast At Tiffany's - love that. Play It Again Sam is a really funny film (one I'd forgotten about - cheers for reminding me - might go and dig it out)!!!!

I think so but it's probably more of a chick flick. Alan Rickman's character dies but his girlfriend loves him so much he has to come back! Unfotunately all his ghost mates follow!I think Rickman is very funny as a ghost...
It's funny but very sad too so if your thing is all action don't bother!

Some great names there. Alan Rickman is one of my faves. Have you seen Truly Madly Deeply (sad & funny)??
Totally wih you on Pacino, De Nero, Walken & Nicholson...

Have not read Dune. Might check it out tho! Read Catcher In The Rye about 15 years ago (the first time, have read it several times since). Was going thru 'difficult' teenage 'time':-) Somehow felt I could relate to main character - even tho I'm a girl, British and live in different era (!!??!!) I liked how he felt everyone was 'phoney'!
This has made me want to find my library card and go get it (maybe I should buy it)!

The Little Prince - wow! That's a lovely little story! Forgotten all about it...Thanks for reminding me! :-)

The Godfather when Michael Corleone is at the christening of his nephew and all the old dons are being 'taken out'. Classic.... (imho)...
