#71 Saving Private Ryan

1998
Director: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, Tom Sizemore, Ed Burns, Barry Pepper, Adam Goldberg, Giovanni Ribisi

ALSO in this movie: Vin Diesel, Jeremy Davies, Ted Danson, Paul Giamatti

I forgot how real this movie looks and feels.  I haven't watched this one in a few years, and it was just as good as I remember.  I love all of the actors, and guest actors.
And I loved Barry Pepper in this movie!

#72 The Shawshank Redemption

1994
Directed by: Frank Darabont
Starring: Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman

One of my favorites, I think I've seen this movie a hundred times.  It's so simple, and so detailed at the same time. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are perfect in their roles.  There's nothing bad I can say about this movie.  And who didn't want to go to Zihuatanejo after seeing it!

Funny trivia- Kevin Costner turned down the role of Andy, and the part of Tommy (the young guy who comes in and tries to prove Andy is innocent) was originally intended for Brad Pitt.

#73 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

1969
Directed by: George Roy Hill
Starring: Robert Redford, Paul Newman


"Who are these guys?" These guys are Paul Newman and Robert Redford (and that was my favorite quote they kept repeating in the movie when being tracked and chased.)
I saw this movie when I was a teenager, and didn't really like it the first time around.  This time, I loved it.
The two main characters are "the bad guys," bank robbers, so it feels wrong hoping they'll make it out! But you almost have to...
