Janet Ross, St. Joseph
Like you, Dennis Dalman, I am a huge movie lover, and I appreciated reading your list in your Sept. 4 column in the St. Joseph Newsleader. My two favorite lists are off the top of my head (although I keep track of all I’ve seen) because I have a strong memory or reaction to that. I may have missed some great ones, but these stand out.
Recent: (1) Ex Machina, (2) Birdman, (3) Whiplash, (4) Locke, (5) Nebraska, (6) 500 Days of Summer, (7) Philomena, (8) The Last Five Years, (9) Finding Vivian Maier and (10) Boyhood.
Past: (1) Five Easy Pieces, (2) The Year of Living Dangerously, (3) West Side Story, (4) To Kill a Mockingbird, (5) Terms of Endearment, (6) Shoot the Moon, (7) Ordinary People, (8) Midnight Cowboy, (9) Dead Poet’s Society and (10) Last Tango in Paris.
