■ My 32 all time favorite movies

I am more of a music than moving pictures person, still there's nothing better to help unwind after a busy day's trials and tribulations than with a good movie and a drink. Last week I went through my sizeable movie library and picked up a few gems that I can watch again and again without getting weary.

Here's a list of my top films. You can tell I am a sci-fi buff and have a soft spot for Jack Nicholson. You won't find any new blockbuster trash that rely on ample explosions (and bar mitzvah) to cover the lack of plot and logical consistency. Moslty last century quality stuff. I arbitrarily set a limit of 32 "zabkat oscar" films, in alphabetical order:

A fish called Wanda (1988)
Alien (1979) (Aliens is great too)
