Top Favorite 103 Movies: #69 - 60

Once again we dive into my list of 103 favorite movies. The first part is here, the next part is here, and the last part is here.

Without further ado, here's #69 - 60:

69: Dr. Strangelove or: How ILearned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

"Gentlemen, youcan't fight in here! This is the War Room." I don't agree with thismovie's anti-war message, but I admire the way they said it. A comedy aboutnuclear war with Slim Pickens and an early roll for James Earl Jones. Adeparture for director Stanley Kubrick from his usual serious fare. And PeterSellers plays three roles including Dr. Strangelove. Everyone needs to watchthis at least once. Available on YouTube (paid) and Apple TV (paid).

68: Mission Impossible: Fallout(2018)

In the middle of this moviethere's a car chase. And I thought "oh, dear, another boring carchase." But, no, it was an amazing car chase. That's just part of theappeal of this movie. The climax is (nearly) nuclear explosive. The helicopterchase is also astonishing. An action-packed thriller. Available on Paramount+

67: Interstellar (2014)

Earth's ecosystem is failing(never said why, probably climate change). NASA wants to send astronauts to asystem of planets to see if one is inhabitable. But there's a black hole andtime dilation and time travel through the black hole and… it's a veryinteresting movie worth watching. Like a lot of Christopher Nolan movies, it'sdeep, intellectual, and a bit hard to follow. Available on MGM+ and AmazonPrime Video.

66: Seven Year Itch (1955)

A family man with too muchimagination is tempted by Marilyn Monroe while his wife and son are away forthe summer. While his thoughts run away with him, he finally decides his familycomes first before his job, his over-active imagination, and his desires forthe girl. Contains the iconic scene of Marilyn Monroe standing over the subwaygrate and her dress being blown up. It's not as salacious in the movie as theytry to make you think. Directed by Billy Wilder. Available on Tubi and YouTube(paid).

65: Blazing Saddles (1974)

Mel Brooks sends up racism inthis hilarious movie. And westerns and Hollywood. While the end is a littleconvoluted, this flick so funny through most of the film. Cleavon Little playsthe black man sent to be the sheriff of a small town, and the towns peoplearen't happy about it. If the N-word offends you, don't watch this movie. Justan amazing, funny movie. Available on YouTube (paid) and Apple TV (paid).

64: Some Like it Hot (1959)

A classic Billy Wilder comedywith Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and of course, Marilyn Monroe. Not uproariouslylaugh out loud funny, but just amusing situations as Curtis and Lemmon dresslike women to escape a mobster by joining an all-girls band. Contains theimmortal closing line, "Well, nobody's perfect" which in context ishilarious. Available on Max and Hulu.

63: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home(1986)

This is a lot of people'sfavorite Star Trek movie. And it's one of the better ones. Thefish-out-of-water plot of the crew of the Enterprise in 1986 San Francisco isgood for a lot of amusing moments. It gets a little preachy at times but that'seasily overlooked. And Spock did too much LDS in the '60s. Available onParamount+

62: Ford v Ferrari (2019)

One of the few good moviesabout car racing. It has its accuracy issues (downshifting to pass cars on thetrack), but a compelling storyline and great acting by Matt Damon (as CarollShelby) and Christian Bale. And it explains how the whole Ford GT racingproject was to get back at Ferrari for spurning Ford's offer to buy thecompany. If you enjoy cars, this is a fun movie. Available on Hulu and Sling TV.

61: Top Gun (1986)

This movie was a sensationwhen it first came out. The dogfighting scenes were amazing and, for the firsttime, it seemed, you could understand what was going on. Tom Cruise isMaverick, a hot shot F-14 Tomcat pilot. Kelly McGillis is the love interest andis more believable because she's not a typical anorexic Hollywood actress. Ifyou know anything about the military and/or military jets, you have to ignoresome things, but still, this movie is a wonder. Available on Paramount+.

60: Cars (2006)

I am convinced that thepeople who made this movie love cars and racing. These are so many littlethings like the types of cars the characters are. Michael Schumacherappropriately voices a Ferrari, for example. The plot is a little thin but the funnever stops. And while Lightning McQueen learns how to drift, he also learnshow to care for others than himself. In my opinion, one of the better Pixarfilms. Available on Disney+

That's it. What do you think of my choices. Let me know in the comments below.

Top 103 Favorite Movies: #79 - 70

Welcome back to my top 103 favorite movies. The first part is here, the second part is here.

So here we go:

#79:  Spider-Man: Into theSpider-Verse (2018)

A Spider-Man cartoon? Yes,and it's amazing. And hard to describe without giving away the story. But thereare a lot of different Spider-Man characters, including one woman. Just a funmovie with a big, bad villain. Available on FuboTV, Hulu, and Sling TV.

#78: Serenity (2005)

A science fiction movie basedon a short-lived series called "Firefly." I always wonder if thewriter/director, Joss Whedon, realizes he made a film with stronglibertarian/conservative vibes. "I aim to misbehave." "Peopledon't like to be meddled with." Plus, the story is good and the action isamazing. Summer Glau beating up a bar full of hoods is only one reason to watchthis. Available on YouTube (paid), Apple TV (paid), and Amazon Prime Video.

77: Mission Impossible III (2006)

This movie is surprisinglyeffective thanks to a smart script and tense direction from J.J. Abrams (yes,the man who ruined both Star Wars and Star Trek). The action is fast and thesuspense is tight. Philip Seymour Hoffman is a scary villain in how calm andcool he is. The bridge scene is worth the price of admission. Available onParamount+

76: Terminator 2: Judgement Day(1991)

Arnold Schwarzenegger is backas the Terminator (a robot from the future) but this time he's been reprogramedto protect John Conner, not to kill him. The machines send the T-1000, a"liquid metal" terminator from the future to kill Conner. This wasone of the first movies to extensively use CGI and it works brilliantly as it'snot overused. Fun to watch with just enough humor to take the edge off.Available on Netflix.

75: The Maltese Falcon (1941)

"You're a good man,sister." The classic Bogart film noir movie about "The stuff thatdreams are made of." Bogart's Sam Spade is an unflappable private eyecaught up in a scheme to find a jewel encrusted falcon figure. Or is it? If youwatch one Bogart movie, this has to be it. Available on YouTube (paid) andApple TV (paid).

74: Batman (1989)

First of all, Jack Nickolsonas The Joker. That should be enough to sell this movie. Then Michael Keaton asBatman/Bruce Wayne. And a lovely Kim Basinger playing Viki Vale. We see TheJoker's backstory, and his pain and his trauma. And Bruce Wayne's pain andtrauma that sent him in a different direction. Occasionally silly, but stillworth watching. And the end leaves a mystery that's never been solved.Available on Max and Amazon Prime Video.

73: Risky Business (1983)

Tom Cruise is a suburban Chicagoteenager left home alone while his parents travel. Rebecca De Mornay is a callgirl he hires. When his father's Porsche goes into Lake Michigan, things getout of hand and he needs a lot of money fast. The call girl has an idea.... Anearly role for Joe Pantoliano as the bad guy/pimp. Not a belly-laughs kind ofmovie, just entertaining and amusing. Available on Paramount+.

72: Shrek (2001)

The first and best Shrekmovie. A featured-length fractured fairy tale with questions of true beauty andtrue love. It's meant for kids but has enough jokes that adults will enjoy.Satires a few movies including The Matrix. For pure entertainment, there islittle better. Available on Peacock and Hulu.

71:  Double Indemnity (1944)

Another classic film noirwith Fred MacMurray as the chump and Barbara Stanwyck was the femme fatale.Edward G. Robinson plays the good guy (for once). Stanwyck wants MacMurray tokill her husband to collect the insurance money from a policy that MacMurraysells him without his knowledge. But, of course, it all goes awry. Available onYouTube (paid) and Apple TV (paid).

70: Key Largo (1948)

Edward G. Robinson is the badguy and Humphry and Bacall are the heroes (mostly Humphry). Set in the FloridaKeys, Bogart and Robinson have it out in a climax on a boat. Did I mentionthere's a hurricane, too? Great performances all around. Available on YouTube(paid) and Apple TV (paid).

103 Favorite Movies, #89 - 80

The list of my favorite 103 movies continues. The first entry is here (103-90).

And here we go:

89:  Airplane (1980)

“Surelyyou must be joking.” “I’m perfectly serious, and don’t call me Shirley.” Amovie that delivers the laughs and doesn’t pretend to be anything else. Partshaven’t aged well but the movie doesn’t care. It’s hilarious. Available on Max,Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video.

88: True Lies (1994)

Thelast collaboration between James Cameron (Titanic, Avatar) and ArnoldSchwarzenegger, this movie tried hard to be a buddy/action-comedy flick butparts of it are too serious and some are just cringy. Best part: Harrier jetsblowing up a bridge. Available on Tubi (free) and AMC+

87: Dodgeball: A True UnderdogStory (2004)

LikeAirplane, this movie goes for laughs over everything else. A bit more modern,it still has its cringy humor parts, but mostly you’ll laugh. Don’t worry aboutthinking, this movie isn’t about that. And the sports movie parts make youcheer to the heroes. Available on Max, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video.

86:  National Treasure (2004)

Atreasure map on the back of the original Declaration of Independence? The badguy (Sean Bean, who survived the movie) wants to steal the document. So, thehero (Nicholas Cage) decides to steal it first. As clues (many based on Americanhistory) combine to lead the adventures to a possible treasure, the tensionwinds up. A fun, underrated, movie you should watch. Available on Disney+

85: Mission impossible (1996)

Thefirst Mission Impossible movie had such a convoluted plot, it takes at leasttwo viewing to figure out just what happened. But the tension is high as TomCruise has to find the bad guys while evading his own agency. And the climax isamazing (if a bit unrealistic). Worth the two watches, at least. Available onAMC+ and Paramount+

84: Gattaca (1997)

I’veonly seen this movie once (unlike most the others on the list) but it’s animportant film dealing with the ethics of gene manipulation in humans. Somechildren are born natural, others are born enhanced genetically. There isprejudice against the natural born and this leads to many issues for Ethan Huntwho wants to be an astronaut but is natural born. And natural born can't beastronauts. Available on YouTube, Apple TV, and Vudu, all paid.

83: The Wolf of Wall Street(2013)

Basedon a true story, it’s a cautionary tale of what money, drugs, and more drugscan do to a man. If only the hero had been ethical in his money making andavoided drugs, his world might not have come crashing down. Or his yacht sunkneedlessly. Margo Robbie is amazing in this movie, as is Leonardo DiCaprio. Availableon MGM+ and Amazon Prime Video.

82: To Have and Have Not (1944)

The film debut of Lauren Bacall (she was 19) and loosely based on a Hemmingway story. Humphry Bogartleads the cast during World War II intrigue. "You ever been stung by adead bee?" "You know how to whistle, Steve, don't you?" A greatold movie. Available on YouTube and Amazon Prime Video (paid on both).

81: Smokey and the Bandit (1977)

It was 1977 and the worldneeded a hero and Burt Reynolds obliged with a rebel shipping bootleg beerthrough the American Southeast. Sally Fields joins the crew as they race alonginterstate and back road, always on the lookout of "Smokey," i.e.,the police. Nothing intellectual or deep, just fun and exceeding the speedlimit (which was 55 mph nationally at the time). This was the number twohighest grossing film of 1977. Available on AMC+ and Philo.

80: Spaceballs (1987)

Mel Brooks takes on StarWars. While it references a few other science fiction movies such as Alien andPlanet of the Apes, it's mostly a Star Wars parody. Gave us "ludicrousspeed" and "They've gone plaid" (which Elon Musk used in namesfor his cars). Watch it with someone with a good sense of humor. Available onMax, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video.

What to you think of my list so far? Let me know in the comments below.

103 Favorite Movies #103 - 90

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I am going to start listing my 103 favorite movies of all time. Why 103? Because there were some I just couldn't leave out.

103: Star Trek: First Contact(1996)

Theonly Star Trek: The Next Generation cast movie on this list and the first offive. Directed by Jonathan Frakes (who also plays First Office Riker), theparts on the ship are exciting and claustrophobic as the crew tries to stop aBorg invasion of their vessel. But the parts on the ground and rather silly.Councilor Troi drunk was funny, though. Introduces the concept of the"Borg Queen," which I've never liked but was used in a lot of StarTrek afterwards. Available on Paramount+

102: The World’s Fastest Indian(2005)

“World’s fastest what?” you may be asking. Thisunusual film is based on the true story of a New Zealand man (played byAnothony Hopkins) trying build the world’s fastest motorcycle and test it outat Speed Week at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah in 1967. Watching hisculture shock of 1960s America and his efforts to build the motorcycle makesthis movie strangely compelling. It's fun to watch him try to fix issues withthe motorcycle. When something doesn't work that he thought would, he says,"Who came up with that stupid idea?" In the end, his Indian-brandcycle is the world’s fastest. Available for free on many sites includingYouTube, Peacock, and Pluto TV. 

101: Star Trek III: The Search forSpock (1984)

Thisthird Star Trek movie with The Original Series cast is an emotional rollercoaster. Kirk’s devastation at the murder of his son and the destruction of theEnterprise are both unlike any other Star Trek film. The worst part, KirstieAlley isn’t playing Saavikanymore. Christopher Lloyd plays the Klingon commander, chewing up scenery. Itwas obvious he was having a great time. Available on Paramount+

100: Bullitt

Basically, this is on thislist because of that chase scene, one of the best ever filmed. Otherwise, thisis an interesting crime drama starring Steve McQueen. Made in 1968 SanFrancisco, there are bad guys and tough cops and lots of nice scenery. Watchfor the real cop directing traffic outside a restaurant and a very young RobertDuvall driving a taxi. But once you watch that chase scene, there's not muchelse to this film. Available on Max and Amazon Prime Video.

99: The Mummy (1999)

There are no horror movies on this list. I don’t do horror.But this movie is a fun adventure with some horror elements. Brendan Fraserstars and Rachel Weisz is the cute, smart love interest. Early CGI is used, butit works and isn’t over used. Just a fun adventure film set in the 1920s. Notto be confused with the Tom Cruise disaster with the same name. Available onHulu and Sling TV.

98: Monty Python and the HolyGrail (1975)

"What is yourquest?" Irreverent, silly, and hilarious, this first feature-length moviefrom the Monty Python troupe is laugh-out-loud funny. From the coconuts clompedtogether to indicate horses to the peasant spouting Marxist ideas, it'll haveyou rolling on the floor with laughter. "I fart in your generaldirection!" Not as sacrilegious as Life of Brian or as gross as TheMeaning of Life. Available on Netflix.

97: Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

Thismovie is huge with cast of thousands. And a lot of them are stars. CGI isrampant but it’s so good you don’t care. You don’t need to watch every MCU filmbefore you view this, but it helps. The combination of the Guardians of theGalaxy and the Avengers is amazing. The final battle is huge as they try tostop Thanos's genocidal plans. If only Star Lord (played by Chris Pratt) hadn'tlost his temper… Available on Disney+

96: Charade (1963)

Idon’t remember how I found this movie but I was glad I did. This is a charmingfilm with suspense, romance, and twists. Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn star andthe chemistry between them is palpable. A very enjoyable time for an old moviewithout shootouts or chase scenes. Available on Pluto TV and Amazon Prime Video(free).

95: Galaxy Quest (1999)

Anaffectionate satire of Star Trek and its fan culture, this hilarious movie isso much fun. Tim Allen (in his best role outside of the Toy Story franchise) and SigourneyWeaver star along with the always wonderful Alan Rickman. If you love or hateStar Trek, you have to watch this movie. It's hilariously funny at times. "Nevergive up; never surrender." Available on Paramount+

94: Star Trek VI: TheUndiscovered Country (1991)

Thelast Original Series cast Star Trek movie. The cast is older and slower, butthey still save the universe. Sulu is a captain of his own ship and arrives inthe nick of time. Can there be diplomacy in the Galaxy? Or will a conspiracyruin it all? The final space battle is amazing. This is the last movie we seeSpock in (he didn't want to be in Generations). A bit marred by a couple ofpolitical statements by the filmmakers. And Klingon blood is not lavender.Available on Paramount+

93: Avengers: End Game (2019)

Youthought Infinity Wars was huge? This is bigger, longer, and has more CGI.Things go from the devastation of Infinity War to hope to a sad ending. Thebest MCU movie so far. And boy, there are a lot of infinity stones in New YorkCity! Available on Disney+

92: To Be or Not to Be (1983)

Acomedy about the Nazi invasion of Poland and the mistreatment of Jews and gays?Yes, and it’s good. Mel Brooks is less manic as the ham leader of a theatertroupe and Anne Bancroft, his real-life wife, plays his wife. Tim Matheson is ahandsome Polish pilot. There’s a 1942 version with Jack Benny, but this one isthe one with Mel Brooks. It's funny, touching, and maybe just a bit manic. Theone criticism: the Nazis are all idiots. Evil usually isn't stupid. Availableon Max, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video

91: Pirates of the Caribbean:Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

Thefirst and best Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Keira Knightley is beautiful,Orlando Bloom is brave, and Johnny Depp is… Johnny Depp. It never takes itselftoo seriously and always is fun. There are a few twists toward the end. Whothought a pirate movie would work in the 2000s? Available on Disney+

90: Speed (1994)

Abus that can’t go less than 50 mph or it’ll explode. That’s the plot of Speed.An exciting action film that launched the career of Sandra Bullock and madeKeanu Reeves an action star. Just a good, fast movie. The ending is a bitanticlimactic but that’s okay. Available on AMC+ and Amazon Prime Video.

So, what do you think of my first 14? Let me know in the comments below. More will come...

We're Not Going Faster

While internet is getting faster, humans aren't.
For millennia, the fastest humans could move on land was about 4 mph. That's the speed of a human or an animal walking. And you could probably do only 20-30 miles per day depending on your stamina or your animal's abilities. (If the animal was pulling something such as a wagon or chariot, it probably was limited even more.)

Then came the train which started out at about 10 mph. More than double walking but still slow. Yes, now they are trains that do 300 mph. 

Today, the fastest mode of travel is the jet airliner (ignoring fighter jets and private jets that are much faster but not available to the general public). They go about 550 mph. And they have since the early 1960s. In 60 years we haven't sped up much at all, especially since the Concord was grounded.

And to be honest, flying is so uncomfortable and inconvenient, I won't fly unless I have no other choice. Last time I went through a TSA checkpoint, I was so molested I thought he should have bought me dinner first.

But why aren't we going faster? There's Elon Musk's hyperloop which might be as fast at 300 mph and more convenient than air travel. And some guy says he can make a Mach 5 (3,600 mph) airplane. That's 3,700 miles per hour!

The problem is, the faster you go, the more problems you have. The SR-71's top speed is still classified but is thought to be in excess of Mach 3 (2,200 mph). And it's a very specialized airplane with a titanium-skinned fuselage. The heat built up from friction with the air is a huge challenge as speeds climb over Mach 1. 

I'd like to be able to travel faster than 550 mph. I'd also like to travel in comfort and convenience (you know, like in a car). Maybe I'm asking too much.

What do you think about the speed we travel? Do you want to go faster? Let me know in the comments below. 

Zooming Internet

I recently upgraded my cell phone plan. I was on 2 GB with no 5G coverage for data. My new plan is unlimited data with 5G including Verizon "Ultra Wideband 5G"

I changed it because I bought a car with Apple CarPlay and it eats up a lot of bandwidth and I didn't want to go over my 2 GB limit.

Earlier this week I was in Spokane, WA to see the movie Oppenheimer. And I noticed my phone was on Ultra Wideband 5G. So I did a speed test. with the Ookla Speed Test app. The result: 1,479 Mbps download, 79.1 Mbps upload. (Should that be 1.479 Gbps?)

It seems I could download an HD movie in less than 2 seconds, if my math is correct.

On my fiber optic internet at my house, I usually get about 200 Mbps going both ways, max. Which is plenty fast. I can stream a movie while my wife is on the internet and my son is playing video games online and it's fine. But Verizon's Ultra Wideband 5G is seven time faster? What would I use that speed for? Downloading a movie onto my phone in mere moments, I guess.

Another interesting thing, since I changed my plan to unlimited, I'm using more bandwidth. I'm at just over 4 GB with no days left in the billing cycle. 

Do you have 5G on your phone? What do you use it for? Let me know in the comments below.

Early Adopters and EVs

Tesla Model SI saw my first EV in July of 2000 near Los Angeles, California. It was a GM EV1. I remember being surprised by how small it was. Scary small to drive on public roads. Early models had lead-acid batteries (like the 12-volt battery in your car) and I wondered what would happen if it were ever in a wreck. Acid going everywhere, maybe?
You couldn't buy EV1s, only lease them.

I saw my next EV in August of 2013 near Boulder, Colorado. It was a Tesla Model S (the only model Tesla sold at the time). And I remember thinking that the owner was an "early adopter." And that the owner must have some bunch of money to afford it, too.

Being an early adopter has always been expensive. You buy the latest and greatest computer for big bucks, and in 3 months something better comes out, probably for less money. 

This is especially true for electric cars (EVs). I'm often seeing headlines such as "Ford adds range to its EVs" or "Tesla cuts prices of its EVs."

And then I think, "What about the poor schmucks who already bought one?"

And there are rumors of a solid-state battery coming that has about double the range of current batteries and only takes 10 minutes to charge. And it isn't affected by temperature. I'm hoping that actually happens because Washington State, where I live (I can't convince my wife to move to Idaho), is going to start in 2030 requiring all new cars to be EVs. So my next car will probably have to be an EV. When it comes to EVs, I'm not an early adopter.

What do you think about being an early adopter? What do you think about EVs and early adopters? Let me know in the comments below.

Halloween is Different Now

I like Halloween, which is next Tuesday. It's fun to pass out candy to the kids who come to our door.

But it's meaning has subtly changed over the years.

Used to be Halloween was about the supernatural. Goblins and spooks and witches, etc. Decorations generally followed this supernatural theme. 

Kids would dress up in costumes (not always supernatural related) and go door to door for candy. 

But these days, adults seem to be more involved in Halloween and the holiday has expanded to include horror such as serial or mass killers. Like this picture I recently saw in Facebook:

I think this change has followed the change in horror movies from supernatural to things like the Saw movie franchise (which, as I understand it, is just torture porn)(because I refuse to watch it).

I liked the Halloween of my childhood better. 

How do you feel about Halloween and what it has come to represent? Let me know in the comments below.

Coffee and Cars

Scene from American GraffitiWhen I was younger (a long, long time ago), part of American car culture was "cruising." The movie American Graffiti is a great example of this.  You'd get in your car (or your parents' car) and go to a main street (usually, the main street through town), and drive up and down it slowly showing off both your car and yourself. I never did this because I never had a cool car until I was older. 

An aside: If you haven't see American Graffiti, which turned 50 years old this year, drop everything and see it.  

Now days, car culture has embraced the "Coffee and Cars" set up. This is where car people meet on a weekend morning and park their vehicles and talk to other car enthusiasts about, what else, cars. 

I think Coffee and Cars has become more popular for a variety of reason. First off, cars are a lot more expensive so it's older folks who tend to own the "cool" cars. And old folks don't want to stay up late cruising.

Second, local government have passed anti-cruising laws. 

And third: gasoline is more expensive so parking cars and talking is more appealing than driving a lot.

I've been to a couple of Coffee and Cars organized by a local car detailer (the only one who touches my cars) and they were fun. I stopped going after I sold my Corvette. Looking at other cars and talking to the owners was just a good time.

This, like cruising, is more a warm-weather activity, so it's pretty much stopping in the northern parts of the country right now and will start up again in the spring.

Have you been to a Coffee and Cars? What did you think? Let me know in the comments below.

I "Invented" the Internet

I invented the internet.

I'm serious. 

I remember when I was somewhere between 12 and 18 years old (but toward the younger side of that range) thinking "Wouldn't it be cool if computers were linked together somehow and you could access the information on them from anywhere." I have no idea why I was thinking that. I didn't own a computer (no one but the government, corporations, and universities did at the time). But I have this specific memory of thinking that. I was outside playing at our house in Idaho. I, of course, knew of computers, having seen them on TV.

This would have been the early 1970s. Yes, ARPANET had been around since 1969, but the world wide web didn't come around until 1989. 

Of course, I had no idea how this could work (or even how computers worked). That was sort of the beauty of it. I didn't know the limitations, either. I just wondered if it could be done.

Have you thought of anything that came to fruition later? Let me know in the comments below.
