Fallen - best suspence movie ever, go Dezel!!
The Usual Suspects -Definatly in my top five - Just an awesome movie

any Star Wars - First three were the best or should I say they were really the las three?  Wait, they came out be fore the first three so does that make the the first three or the last three?  Well they are number V VI & VII so they must be the last three right?  OK, but they came twenty years before the first three so doesn't that make them the first three even though they are actually the last three?    :censored:GEORGE LUCAS and the landspeeder he road in on!!

Most Sandler flicks (Wedding Singer my fav) - Classics, Why don't you just go home ball??
Ladder 49 - Solid movie

[Auggie]

I love Westerns. OLD and new. My favorite is Rio Bravo. One of the Duke's best in my opinion. I also will watch The Quiet Man also a Wayne flick everytime it comes on although it is not a western. Hangem High with Clint is a classic too. Tombstone, Dances with Wolves, Silverado, and Open range just name a few new ones.
Top Gun and Days of Thunder rank up at the top. Road House, Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile all good flicks. So many good ones I know I am leaving out.

[Ryan]

No one has mentioned King Pin yet.  One new movie I always get stuck watching on HBO is Blood Diamond.  I don't know why I like it so much, but for some reason I am drawn to it.

I am looking forward to Angels and Demons this spring.  I thought it was a much better book than the Da Vinci Code so hopefully that means it will be a better movie.  I did enjoy the Da Vinci Code move more than I thought I would.  I say that more because I don't like Tom Hanks and not because I want to sound smart saying I liked the book better.

[kenhuntin]

Did anyone enjoy Braveheart? I don't see alot of Mel Gibson in the list. This is a good thread for this time of year. It is a good to pass this time watching movies while deciding what new licenses to buy when march 1st comes. I also have a penchant for time travel movies like the back to the future genre.

[JCAMERON]

Sandman really nailed some there!
Mr. Holland's Opus - Great music/inspiration movie.

Some more to my list -
Movies with Christopher Walkin - One of my favorite actors.

Vision Quest -  For all the wrestlers...

[GRIZ]

Ain't much of a movie buff but I like pretty much any western. Also like some comedys and some of the based on true story ones.

Two that stand out for me are
legends of the fall
8 seconds

Guess it's just cause I can relate some to them.

[HD]
