1. Good Fellas with Joe Pesci
2. Shawshank Redemption
3. Dr. Strangelove
4. The Silence of the Lambs
5. Conan the Barbarian
6. All About Eve
7. Clue

9. Varsity Blues
10. The Princess Bride
11. Breaking Away
12. The Last of the Mohicans
13. Die Hard
14. Fight Club
15. Back to the Future
16. Best in Show

So, i thought and thought. And came up with some 13 movies that the Ellsworths can watch over and over. Stolen from the top list with major modifications.
Ours…… (with the ones on their list, that we have seen)

1. ShawShank Redemption the dear husband has probably seen this over 100 times. I think…..
2. Clue the older daughter things this is one of the best ever
3. The Princess Bride
4. The Last of the Mohicans The dialogue. The story. The romance. The scenery.
5. Back to the Future

8. John Wayne in anything
9. James Bond in everything

11. Hollywood and Broadway Musicals from the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s. 00’s. We all know all the songs. We are like that. We like especially the ones with great dance numbers. (7 Brides for 7 Brothers and Singing in the Rain and West Side Story are some examples.)
