Excuse me? What's so condescendingly funny?
You asked for my FAVORITES, which would be my OPINION. Nevertheless, Chinatown and Godfather also rank in the top 5 all-time greatest films according to the AFI. Furthermore, all four that I mentioned have great scripts DO have great scripts and are recommended as screenwriting study tools. "The Miracle Worker" did, in fact, have EXCELLENT acting and earned Patty Duke an Oscar. Anyone who has studied the choreography of the fight scene in the dining room alone knows how well she did. And, finally, sure, a handful of them are for entertainment value alone.
Did I dismiss your favorites and laugh at your choice of three action flicks?

No specific order to them. These are the movies I feel compelled to watch when I am not feeling well. A cup of tea, a blanket, the couch, and one of these movies.
The older I get the less I seem to enjoy the blood and guts action stuff.

As for others... I recommend a film called "SURVIVING THE GAME" starring Ice-T.
I suppose it probably is considered a chick flick, but then again, I AM a chick.

I actually saw and liked Surviving the Game. I really like any movie that has halfway decent acting that involves surviving anything in the great outdoors.
