Freaks
Forrest Gump
The First Great Train Robbery,
Fight Club
A Fistful of Dollars
Falling Down
Full Metal Jacket
Freaky Friday (Lohan)
Fatal Vision
From Here to Eternity
A movie that will never be remade, so hats off to the less politically correct 1930’s by producing this gem. But let’s kick off, for those yet to see it, by stating unequivocally this is not a movie about Democrats. The ace in the pack was that the director, Tod browning (who had just finished shooting Dracula), used a cast of “unknowns”, and having deformities that were not tricks of the camera.
Nevertheless, this far from being a perfect film with poor editing, and obvious limitations to the acting. It’s also short, with a running time of just over an hour.
IMHO, if you want a great evening of Black and White, pair it with The Gold Rush and you won’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Fun in Acapulco
ferris bueller’s day off
You won’t be the first one to get upset I left this one off!

Friday
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Fargo
Four Feathers—the 1939 version—I haven’t seen the more recent version.
Father of the Bride
The Fountainhead
The Fugitive
Fox and Hound(disney)
Frankenstein
Nonsense. The best movie ever starting with “F” is “Flight of the Phoenix” (1965) with Jimmy Stewart and Hardy Kreuger.
F is for Fake
Some really bad movies there. However, don’t go to IMDB and search for titles with “f”. Apparently they include adult movies.
Yes, that was quite good.
Fantasia
Forty Second Street
Both won best picture oscars.
The Fugitive! Oh yeah!
Frequency
Fatal Attraction
Fly Away Home
Forbidden Planet: Shakespear (kind of) in superior 1950’s sci-fi flick.
Fitzwilly: Mid 1960’s ensemble comedy ked by Dick Van Dyke as a small scale grifting butler.
Force Of Evil: Superb 1950’s gangster film with John Garfield. Very much like ‘The Asphalt Jungle’.
(A) Face In The Crowd: Audacious ensemble drama with a slowly evolving, sublimely slimily evil Andy Griffith as ‘Lonesome’ Rhodes. Required viewing!
Fantastic Voyage: Scientists and a submarie shrink down to microscopic size to lazer a blood clot. Most noted for Racquel Welch in skin tight rubber and a brief, silent cameo with James Brolin as a technician. Superior specual effects!
Fabulous Baker Boys: Jeff and Beau Bridges as piano playing brothers, whose lost standing act is broken up by Michelle Pfeiffer.
Fuzz! Burt Reynolds lead Ed McBain’s cops after ‘The Deaf Man’. Also noted for the first film to feature the torching of a wino and Reynolds in nun drag.
(A) Fistful Of Dynamite: James Coburn as an IRA expatriate demolitions expert constantly running afoul of Rod Steiger south of the border.
Jack.
From here to Eternity....
I’ll raise you “Fritz the Cat “.
Luckily I Caught her before she had time to press play.
It has been relocated :-)
Hi, Keith. Hi, Lonesome:
I passed on ‘From Here To Eternity’ since it had been mentioned earlier.
Big time Ralph Bakshi fan. Prefer ‘Wizards’ with its Vaughn Bode-like characters to ‘Fritz’, which iz a sharp, well written biting black comedy.
Jack.
“For a Few Dollars More”
Face of a Fugutive (1959) with Fred MacMurray.

For Whom The Bell Tolls
I loved FX, though if I’m not wrong FX II did far better at the box office.
Wot, no French Connection?
Sorry. Dated, debatable dialogue, and a one scene memory...The car chase!
Freaky Friday? SAY WHAT??
Great family movie! Ms. Lohan will appear twice on the lists. If you can tell me the other movie, I will accept your criticism.
Sorry but the French Connection is a good movie. Perhaps it wouldn’t make the 10 ten list maybe not even for “F” but Freaky Friday? Get real.
It’s forgettable tripe. I have plently of great family movies but it doesn’t mean they necessarily make the top 10 list.
Parent Trap is the only Lohan movie worth seeing.
OK...so you can’t answer the question.
Outstanding movie.
OOPS. You just did....Sorry!.
Maybe I should rethink Freaky Friday :-)
Fair enough. :-)
I nominate Fugative to replace Freaky Friday. I’ve always been partial to Family Plot thought it’ll never make a top ten list.
Keep smiling,
Philip
four weddings and a funeral
I havent seen that one in years....
Might have to take another look.
A Fish called Wanda
Fright Night
There’s a little known movie that my husband just loves from either the late 1960s or the early 1970s called “Friends”. It’s a love story about 2 young people who fall in love but because they’re so young, they can’t get married. I think it’s a French film, and Elton John did the soundtrack. I’ve seen it a couple of times and it’s a bit on the artsy side, but it’s pretty good.
Funny Girl was good despite Barbra Streisand
The first 45 minutes of Full Metal Jacket is the best movie ever.
“Friday Night Lights”
Field of Dreams.
Final Countdown.
(”Hey Fox, THAT woke them up” ... hehehehe)
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
A Fish Called Wanda
Fierce Creatures
How could you possibly have any credibility if you don’t have any of these fine films on this list. To omit one of these might have been understandable, but to omit ALL THREE?
