Is there anyone anywhere that has a Richard Dreyfuss movie in there top 15 movie list?
As much as I like his acting abilities, and have enjoyed three or four of his films.
I can't get any of them movies higher on the list.
How bout you guys .This message has been edited. Last edited by: bendable, April 06, 2023 11:15 PM

Stakeout. Pretty good but not top 15 good. But not the sequel.

You stole my jam. Beautiful film. His best IMO. Very relatable to now as that was the old school type teacher that I saw glimpses of, in youth. Near flawless film.

On the right day, ‘What About Bob’ could slip into my Top 15. That one makes me laugh every time.

Nope, not my personal top 15. And to think of it, not my top 25.

I've thought about this for awhile and Jaws is still one of my favorite movies although not a "great" film when you break it down. But I'm still compelled to watch it now and again and Dreyfuss was a big part of that. His interaction with Quint was very well played and when I watch it I visualize being on that boat with the big ass shark in his water which scares the shit out of me.
Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.

The Competition. Made in 1980. Inside the high strung world of classical piano competitions. I'll watch anything featuring Lee Remick.

Pyker beat me to it... I think 'Always' is one of the most underrated movies out there even if it is basically a remake.

I might sneak Mr. Holland’s Opus into my top 15 as number 15. Need to watch Always again…have only seen it once and that was YEARS ago. I do remember the premise…
p.s. What about Jaws????
p.p.s. Oh…Pyker listed Jaws. [red face]

The movie Always is pretty high up my list of favorites.

Oh, yes I forgot about this movie. Yes, this one would legitimately make my top 15. Excellent flick. Mr. Holland's Opus was a good movie, but the ending killed it for me. The work he'd spent his entire career composing was not good at all.
