MY FAVORITE TEN GARRY MARSHALL FILMS

Garry Marshall was probably one of the best film makers in my opinion. He had a incredible knack of casting the right people; playing the right and developing character. You wanted to care about these people. You wanted to see them win. Full three dimensions flushed out with human skin. Easily relatable in most cases. Ironically, Marshall only would be behind the camera for about twenty two films. Honestly, he was better known as an actor of Television and film. Quite funny in fact.
