My Five Most Important Movies
1. "Lawrence of Arabia"David Lean, the master of filmmaking. I've watched this movie on a big screen over 20 times. His sense of staging and editing is awe-inspiring.

2. "The Lion in Winter" Not the most cinematic film, but you'll never encounter better dialogue.
3. "Gallipoli" Peter Weir's WWI story of friendship and purpose is deeply engaging. A seminal movie for me.
4. "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" Sheer wonder has never been captured better, before or since.
5. "Cool Hand Luke" What a character. What an allegory. A man's movie, introduced to me by my father, and I've introduced it to my son.
A classic film you haven't seen: "La Dolce Vita" I know, I know ... I'll watch it tomorrow.
A classic film that, upon revisiting, disappointed: The home footage of my sixth-grade performance as a fence painter in "Tom Sawyer." It's a classic in our house. I thought I was amazing, but, man, I was bad.
