We are one month out to Annual Convention and, like I did for Vegas last year, I thought it would be fun to collect a list of “must see Philadelphia movies.” Below are some suggestions. Which one are you going to watch first? Did I miss any good ones (or bad)?
- The Philadelphia Story (1940) Of course, this one has to be listed first.
- Philadelphia (1993) Tom Hanks as a lawyer fighting AIDS.
- Sixth Sense (1999) A whole new way to see dead people.
- Unbreakable (2000). M. Night Shyamalan’s follow up to Sixth Sense.
- Rocky Series I-V (1976-2000). You know the theme song.
- My Architect (2003) A son's documentary of Louis Kahn. Great buildings.
- Witness (1985) A glimpse into Amish culture with a young Viggo Mortensen in the sidelines.
- Trading Places (1983). An 80’s classic. Eddie Murphy & Dan Aykroyd.
