A while back, I fell to the temptation of the grocery store magazine stand and bought Best Movies of All Time , a money-grabber put out by Us Weekly. I thought it would be a ranking of movies, and I would be able to list the ones that I have seen. Instead, they broke it down by category and added a bunch that almost made the list. That means that the movies are in no particular order. With that being said, here are the ones that I have seen with a short description of each.
Wow, that is an even of what Us Weekly thinks are the best movies of all time. I need to get to the theater more often. Instead of counting, let us just say that I have seen of the movies listed in a magazine that was a complete waste of money. It kind of plodded along, but we cannot expect too much action from Clint these days. At some point in the movie, I noticed an actor that I recognized. However, I could not figure out why.

That is when I went to the trusty Internet Movie Database to do some research. The actor was Clifton Collins, Jr. When I started reading about him, I ran into an interesting fact. Clifton Collins, Jr. He is great as Carlos in Rio Bravo. I put quotations around discovered because he had been a performer with his family since childhood. To honor Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez, here is some wisdom that can be found from his movies. We covered everything. At the end of several classes, Michaela, one of my best students, said that her dad and granddad knew who we had discussed.
At some point, I said that they needed to talk to the class. Well, a few weeks ago they did just that and told a lot of amazing stories. Her grandfather Jerry Marcellino has had an amazing career. He began as a musician and was the opening act for a lot of established artists.
Heck, he was on tour with Jerry Lee Lewis when the world found out that he was married to his year-old cousin. The students really like his stories about Michael Jackson.
