Good choices. I’ve seen most of them.

“The Yearling” was on last week.

As for westerns, did you ever see “The Westerner” with Walter Brennan and Gary Cooper? It is one of the very best westerns.

I agree with some of your selections and would not have chosen others. There is one tho which I think is worse than awful.

“American Beauty”? one of the worst movies ever.
