No "Porky's" for me.

I was more of a "Risky Business" fan than a "Porky's" fan.
I own copies of all of those films I listed (primarily laserdisc), So I've put my money where "my mouth" (or at least two other body openings) is. I think this list is a very fluid document, as I wrote most of it two years ago when my cousin asked me for some recommendations. Had to change a few of them after reconsideration. I do own a copy of "Withnail And I", but only watched it once. I also have a copy of "Full Metal Jacket".
I do admire "Potemkin" and also have a copy of Zbigniew Rybcinsky's experimental film reedit of the Odessa steps scene in which he walks around every character on the steps to analyze their fates.
I admire "Ikiru" because it is about the life process and the protagonist makes about every mistake possible before doing the right thing to give his existence meaning. Maybe it is my Buddhist upbringing.
I remember Harry Pearson writing about "Mad, Mad World" in TPV and discussing how unfunny it was. He almost convinced me, but then I saw the parts where Jonathan Winters tears apart the service station and Dick Shawn plays Ethel Merman's idiotic son "Sylvester" and the big smile on my face broke into laughter again. I was especially impressed by the con man ways of Phil Silvers, as I was too young to watch the original broadcasts of his Sgt. Bilko series.
