Our next list

"There are movies that make you feel good and there are feel-good movies.  The latter is a stupid word (like 'chick flick' or 'rom-com') that has become a vague, dubious genre of films specifically and cynically designed to fill the shallowest hole in your soul - your need for mild, 'heartwarming' entertainment.…But you can always go back to something better, the movies that you can, as Quentin Tarantino put it, 'hang out with.'  They will always pick you up, never let you down, and whether in jest or seriousness, they only tell you what you want or need to hear."
-The Sunday Times (2004)

Except for one horror remake, as far as I can tell, my filmography will encompass these films.  My next subject is a list of 101 that might work.  Maybe I could go back and use them as models.
