Charles T.'s TEN FILMS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

Captain Blood (1935)

TEN FILMS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

  1. The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
    The best version of Robin Hood ever. A great cast and production, it stars my favorite actress, Olivia de Havilland, and one of my favorite actors, Errol Flynn.

  2. Captain Blood (1935)
    Another Flynn-de Havilland movie. I've always been a sucker for pirate movies.

  3. The Awful Truth (1937)
    Cary Grant is so funny!

  4. Rebecca (1940)
    I am a big Hitchcock fan, and this is my favorite Hitchcock film.

    Rebecca (1940)
  5. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
    My favorite actor, one of my favorite directors, and a feel-good story equals one great movie.

  6. Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)
    Probably the funniest movie that I have ever watched: "Insanity runs in my family- it practically gallops!"

    Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)
  7. The Quiet Man (1952)
    John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara are fantastic! A great movie from a great director.

    The Quiet Man (1952)
  8. Sergeant York (1941)
    Gary Cooper is so cool (I tell my wife that I want to be like him). Walter Brennan is also great, probably my favorite character actor.

    Sergeant York (1941)

  9. The Shop Around the Corner (1940)
    This movie is really funny, and Jimmy Stewart is really good as well.

  10. My Man Godfrey (1937)
    Carole Lombard is the funniest actress that I have ever watched, and William Powell acts so intelligently that you can't help but loving this film.

    My Man Godfrey (1937)


  11. There it is- I've laid my soul bare!
