I have enjoyed many of those films, but Apollo 13 I've watched the most.

Yes, but which did you hate the least? Would that not be his best?

If I had to pick one I guess it would be Splash because Daryl Hannah is always good to look at no matter how bad the movie she is in.

most of Ron Howards films always seem to be missing something for me--

they're good but not great--

my favorite? APOLLO 13

runners up--

A BEAUTIFUL MIND and RANSOM

Really? What a surprise!

You'll get to notice that DVDave hates everything that has to do with film oriented entertainment.

Mr.White · 06-05-2009, 09:05 PM

I don't see "The Paper" or "Night Shift" on the poll. Two of my faves!

Variable · 06-05-2009, 11:16 PM

I absolutely love the movie Parenthood. Very overlooked.

Purplegrasshopper · 06-05-2009, 11:20 PM

Willow by far...such an amazing film for its day in terms of CGI.

hardcorefrokid · 06-05-2009, 11:25 PM

A Beautiful Mind, I'm a sucker for Jennifer Connelly.

Steve · 06-05-2009, 11:32 PM

I liked Apollo 13 the best with A Beautiful Mind taking 2nd and Ransom in 3rd. Backdraft is as far from reality as you can get.

This poll seriously needs Frost/Nixon added.

Was it good? I always liked Hopkins portrayal as Nixon.

A Beautiful Mind.

Really enjoyed that movie.

koontz1973 · 06-06-2009, 05:16 PM

Had to be parenthood as it is so real. Did not know it, but I have all of his films on DVD. Some good ones, Ransom, some OK Splash and some bad Da what do you call it code.

Frank Langella's performance was more top-notch. I strongly recommend that you watch it.

STARSCREAM · 06-07-2009, 12:35 AM

I chose A Beautiful Mind and Cinderella Man.
By the way, where's the Grinch at in the poll!!??? I loved that.
