Goodfellas. It's on Sundance right now. Worth watching every few years. What are your favorites?
I love UHH and get so much from it. I didn’t think 11 pages of favorite movies would be easy for me to use so I copied all the movies into one list for my own use . I skipped “animated” and sci-fi” .
I thought others might find the list useful,
I probably have some repeats. Thank you all for your suggestions
