Fruitful period. If a limit is announced, I'll have to whittle away. But I consider my picks to be far better than the dreck that was nominated for Awards during this period.

I just remembered The Crying Game for this category.

That's probably the best movie I've ever seen that was made before I was born. Not many on the list of movies made after I was born that top it.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

I love Paul Newman. And I think that was first movie of his I saw when I was a child.

I never even saw it until I was in my early 20s. My only experience with Paul Newman at that point was Slapshot, which felt really underground to me when I saw it at a friend's house on his old Betamax player.

Cool Hand Luke just spoke to me when I saw it. Especially at that age. I've never been keen on any type of authority, even today, but that movie was a big warning to me of what could happen if that constant desire to rebel was left unchecked. It's a lesson that I've been more successful at certain times than others at heeding. There's no doubt that I've made my own life a lot harder than it's needed to be by not just swimming with the tide, but at least I haven't ended up on a chain gang.... yet.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

I saw "Slapshot" too and it was funny. Can't remember what year it came out. It was VHS when I saw it.

Never been really rebellious but then I am not really a people person anyways. Just me.

But I thought it was a good movie at the time I originally saw it and could feel for Newman's character. Even at that young age I could see that being in jail was not a good place for anyone.

Growing up with The Sting, Cassidy & Sundance, Drowning Pool, Towering Inferno, it just seemed Slapshot was a sidestep.

"Slapshot" might have been. But everyone is entitled to a misstep.

Never saw the "Drowning Pool" or "Towering Inferno". Not into disaster movies.

I said sidestep. I did not consider it a misstep. Merely not the stereotypical role I had become accustomed to for him.

Drowning Pool was a mystery, as I recall. He played Detective Lew Harper. Wonderful cast, I recall Gail Strickland well, and I think the first role for teenage Melanie Griffith, in a crochet bikini. Sort of a Lolita role.
Newman also played the same character in Harper, which also had a wonderful cast.

Towering Inferno is an action/maze game released for the Atari 2600, where you play as a firefighter rescuing people from a burning skyscraper. Although overtly based on the 1974 film, its production was not officially licensed by either 20th Century Fox or Warner Bros.
