I saw 15 including 10 of top 11.10s and favorites unforgiven, gladiator, patriot games. 9: guns of navarrone. hidden gems wrestling ernest hemingway 8, Cromwell 8. another non UMR gem is robin and marion 8.i am not a harry potter fan, especially with the younger child acting.
Hey bob cox…your tally of 15 is right there with Steve’s 19 and my 18. Right there with you on your 10s. I love him in Unforgiven and Gladiator….small but so memorable roles. Steve loves Robin and Marion…I liked most of the movie….did not enjoy the ending of that one…talk about bleak. Millions and millions of people would be confused about you not being a Harry Potter fan….that is that generation’s Star Wars….they might come after you…lol. Good feedback as always.
