97. BLADE RUNNER

Hmmm..... not at all what I expected, which was disappointing. A futuristic journey into the world of AI... (artificial intelligence) Deckard  (Harrison Ford), a bounty hunter, specializing in the extermination (retiring) of androids (replicants) comes out of retirement for a final mission.. His most difficult one yet. Directed by Ridley Scott, one of my personal favorites I might add.. and a surprising, but stellar performance by Rutger Hauer and Daryl Hannah is what made this movie easier to swallow. I found it slow moving, I was somewhat bored. I'm not saying it was a bad film, it's just not my thing. It made the top 100, so I assume some people love it... 3 eggs, that's all I can do for this one. "see you at the movies!"

98. Yankee Doodle Dandy

One thing is for sure... I will never judge a movie by it's cover again! This brought a tear to my eyes. I'm sad to say that I would have no idea who George M. Cohan (Mr. Broadway) was before watching this on-screen biography. It was also my first James Cagney film, who I might add was brilliant. Cagney's acting, singing, and dancing was an amazing tribute to a real American patriot and entertainer. Songs like "Over There" and "Give My Regards to Broadway" are just a couple that G.M. Cohan gave to us. Very entertaining with tons of song and dance. This one gets a DOZEN... easily!!   ))eNjoy ((
