Eclectic and incomplete, but it's my list.
Who else would put Citizen Kane and The Godfather on the same list with Animal House and Caddyshack???

Madison (2001)
Nostalgic, feel good, predictable, & spot on.
Sometimes I just need a nostalgic, feel good, predictable, family movie loosely based on actual events. This is that movie. It is based in Madison, Indiana and on the banks of the Ohio River.in the very early 1970's. Although the central theme is Unlimited Hydroplane powerboat racing, the movie will appeal to gear-heads as well as non because it has just enough balance of family and community aspect. This nostalgia inevitably associated here made me envious of the simplicity of a long gone era. It has an excellent tie in of ABC's Wide World of Sports coverage of the event. Look, this movie doesn't deserve any Academy Awards, but it does deserve a look. Allow it to make you feel good. It did me. There aren't enough movies made like this anymore. And that's too bad.
