OK, I don’t think there is a greatest movie of all time or 100 greatest movies of all time because a big part of that is opionion. But here are a few movies I love:

West Side Story-An incredible story of gang warfare and true love set in 1950’s New York City. This movie said so much about racism and was truely groudbreaking. It really can be called the greatest musical of all time.

Schindler’s List-The list is and absolute good. The list is life. This is the brutal tale of the holocost and how one man risked everything to do the right thing. This movie inspired me more than any other. At the end when the Jews lay rocks on Schindler’s grave in the form of a cross I just get goosebumps.

On the Waterfront-Directors today need to see this movie to know that you don’t have to put swearing and violence in a movie to make people understand the mafia. A great work of art about a thug who has a concience and risks his life to do the right thing. One of the most triumphant moments in the cinema is when Terry Malloy yells, “I’m glad what I done to you!” to Johnny Friendly.

E.T.-By far the most inspiring Sci Fi movie of all time. E.T. touches my heart.

Doctor Zhivago-It’s an absolute outrage that this masterpiece didn’t make the list. A timeless love story about a man who’s heart is torn between two women. An epic masterpiece.

Rebel Without a Cause-A movie that kids everywhere can relate to. One of the first movies that doesn’t make teenage kids the “bad guys” James Dean, Sal Mineo, and Natalie Wood give incredible performances. Quite possibly the greatest ensamble cast of all time. I just love this movie because I can really relate with it.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington-An incredible triumphant and inspiring movie.

It’s a Wonderful Life-This is the reason we watch movies!

Saving Private Ryan-No one but Spielberg could have made such and inspiring movie about WWII. Epic and incredible. Tom Hanks is our finest living actor.

Lawrence of Arabia-Epic all over! A tremendously beautiful movie. Peter O’ Toole is the only person that could pull off T. E. Lawrence like that. This movie might be the climax of American Cinema. Incredible for it’s time and ours.

Apollo 13-Inspirational!

Love Story-Heart Breaking
