I've got your list recorded in my file now.<br /><br />You've got the President's Men AND the President's Lady. ...I gotta tell ya, the President's Dog is feeling kinda left out. Ha!<br /><br />Man, you've got quite a few movies listed that I've never even seen, and I've seen a LOT of movies. That's a nice mix of years.<br /><br />I'll be posting my own Top Ten list on this blog tomorrow.<br /><br />You're from PA, eh? A little known movie I really dig with a story that takes place in PA is 'BIRDY', with Nicolas Cage and Mathew Modine. Sadly, it won't make my Top 25 list. I almost wanna cry when I think of how much I love certain movies that will have to be excluded from my list.<br /><br />Thanks again for your help, Joel!<br /><br />~ StephenStephen T.

That's so perfect it's almost... creepy. ...And I mean creepy to the point that Barney Fife would probably be jealous and quit his job (for the 86,086th time).<br /><br />Chandler I'm not quite as sold on. Maybe we can come up with a mo' better lookalike. I don't know who though. If we wait a few more years, maybe I will be able to do it.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG Stephen T.

Thanks a lot! And glad you liked 'Ode ...CATHY ~<br />Thanks a lot! And glad you liked 'Ode To A Barber'.<br /><br />I had actually completely forgotten all about that poem. I went to the Amazon site to get a copy of that VHS tape photo. I remembered that I had posted a review for it years ago, but I had no recollection of what I'd written. I simply wanted a copy of that VHS tape for my blog.<br /><br />But when I got there, I found that poem and started reading it. And before I got to the end of it, I KNEW that's the text I would use in this blog bit. <br /><br />I mean, how could I write anything today about the FLOYD character that would be better'n that poem? That already said everything I wanted to say. And the best part is... I didn't have to try to think of something new to write in 2015. I could just "Copy & Paste" and all my work for the 'Floyd The Barber' entry on this list was already... DONE! (Yeah, I'm lazy that way.)<br /><br />Glad you liked it though. I like it my-damn-self, even if I didn't remember it at all until I re-discovered it about a week or so ago.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogGStephen T.

I must ask, was Barney Fife 5 ft 7 before or after he put his head in a stretching noose? I also liked your other movie and TV characters from George Berger to Archie Bunker. I also had a crush on David Addison. You are always full of surprises, and I'm sorry I haven't been visiting as often as I should. Now I can't stop whistling the Andy Griffith theme song. One more thing, if they ever do a remake, what do you think of Steve Buscemi playing Barney, and Kyle Chandler playing Andy?<br /><br />JulieEmpty Nest Insiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074223969046687064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043167264059951487.post-87276241728806030692015-10-01T12:23:00.168-07:002015-10-01T12:23:00.168-07:00Stephen, I'm having trouble with my site still...Stephen, I'm having trouble with my site still.

Oh well, opportunity lost.)<br /><br />I have an old Road Atlas in which I've highlighted in green every road I've ever traveled on in the U.S. And one green line goes straight up to Oroville and that's where it stops.<br /><br />I can't remember when I was there, or why. But it appears I drove back South again the same way I'd come, because the green line doesn't branch off to anywhere else from Oroville. (Maybe I did go North, West, or East from there, but I'd passed out and the driver didn't tell me how we got to where we ended up after passing through Oroville.)<br /><br />Michael Douglas wasn't a despot in 'FALLING DOWN'. He was the hero of the movie! (Are you sure we're yakking about the same movie?!)<br /><br />Oh, Val Kilmer was talented, but I DEFINITELY think Doc Holliday was the best role he ever played. That's certainly the one he'll be most remembered for.<br /><br />Oh Donna, <br />Do you wear platform shoes<br />On your nasty little feet?<br />Do you have a little car <br />That goes beep-beep-beep!?<br /><b>:o)</b><br /><br />I never saw 'Death Becomes Her'. My two favorite Meryl Streep movies are 'DEFENDING YOUR LIFE' (which I would love to fit on my 25 Favorite Movies list, but I don't think I'll have the room) and 'THE DEER HUNTER'.<br /><br />Don't hate me but... I don't like Sandra Bullock - not one tiny little bit ("beep-beep-beep!")<br /><br />~ D-FensDogGStephen T.

I'm just collecting them and adding points to find out which movies rate the highest amongst viewers overall.<br /><br />The whole thing can be trickier than one might think. And of course, the more movies a person has seen, the tougher it gets.<br /><br />'Blazing Saddles' is great. It won't make my list, but I love it. I've not seen it 25+ times. Maybe... 7. There are a few movies, however, that I've seen 25+ times, and THOSE will make my list. (Absolutely 'Cuckoo's Nest' is one of them.
