Ten Best Lists

A long time ago, the beautiful wife asked me about my top ten films of all time.

After long thought, here's what I've come up with:

10. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1967)

9. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

8. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

7. The Thin Red Line (1998)

6. Akira Kurosawa's Ran (1985)

5. Schindler's List (1993)

4. Gone With the Wind (1939)

3. Seven Samurai (1954)

2. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

1. Lawrence of Arabia (1962)

And, while we're at it, top ten songs of all time. Now, I'm not the biggest music geek out there, so the list is probably shabby to many:

10. Fade Into You by Mazzy Starr

9. God Only Knows by the Beach Boys

8. In This Heart by Sinnead O' Connor

7. Dogs by Pink Floyd

6. Under Pressure by Queen & David Bowie

5. Hey Jude by The Beatles

4. Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

3. Imagine by John Lennon

2. Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers

1. Theme from Shaft by Isaac Hayes

I don't really have a list for books, but the best one I've ever read is

"Johnny Got His Gun" by Dalton Trumbo

TV shows?

10. M*A*S*H

9. Danger Man (aka Secret Agent)

8. The Office (British version, obviously)

7. Twin Peaks

6. The Prisoner

5. Monty Python's Flying Circus

4. NYPD Blue

3. Arrested Development

2. The Sopranos

1. Seinfeld

Any thoughts? I'd love to hear differing opinions.

Be Seeing You.
