Currently: 1. The Usual Suspects 2. Monty Python and the Holy Grail 3. Raiders of the Lost Ark 4. Dead Poets Society 5. Forrest Gump 6. The Blues Brothers 7. The Exorcist III 8. Good Fellas 9. Red Dragon 10. Tombstone
The Harry Potter movies are close as well as the three original Star Wars movies. So is Scarface and The Godfather II
Men of Honor Remember the Titans What Lies Beneath Rocky - Rocky V Saw - Saw IV Tombstone The "Bourne" Trilogy Night of the Living Dead Nightmare On Elm Street Cujo
I highly suggest you rent the Exorcist III - It's much more than a 'horror' movie which I don't like. That movie is pure genius. I used to work as a movie theater projectionist and had to stay after work and watch the movies the day before opening to make sure all my splices were correct... Nothing (and I mean nothing) will unerve you more than watching that movie all alone in an entire theater at 3 am and then locking up to go out to your car in an empty foggy parking lot and then all of a sudden a cold wind picks up even though it's the middle of July... that movie is unbelievable!
This is Spinal Tap and Annie Hall make the top of my list as well. One of my all time favorites is One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Oh, and Reservoir Dogs.
I've seen (and like mind you) 13 of Mtn Cat's and 8 of Doc's! Goodfellas RULES! I also (very much) like: A Bronx Tale Heart & Souls What Dreams May Come Sneakers Carlito's Way Casino
Just to name a few. So many GREAT movies, so little time!
Hell yeah Jay! When they pan over to the Watch Your Head sign while Mr. Blonde cuts the cops ear off, I feel all is right with the world and the very sick sense of humor.
Any film with Sir Ben Kingsley in it is an elitist film!
Oh 'Sexy Beast' is an awesome film too. Kingsley is the only man who can play Gandhi and a psycho mob boss and get two Oscar nominations for both. He rocks!
Moonstuck! That is Cousin Pats favorite film. Patty where are you today?
My dad and I believe that Gone With the Wind is the best film ever MADE. However I don't like to sit through all 4 hours of it. The same goes for Lawrence of Arabia. LOL
Oh and lets not forget about Plan 9 from Outerspace. It is sooooo bad, it is good. Very entertaining film. Nevermind the alternating light vs. dark skies per continuous shots. It is not a plot point. Ed Wood was a master. Did anyone see it?
Singin' In the Rain Sneakers The Princess Bride To Sir, With Love Resivoir Dogs Casablanca Some Like It Hot The Way We Were Boyz N The Hood The Long Hot Summer *61 Guess Who's Coming To Dinner
There are SO many more - and those are in no real order, but I'd watch them over and over and over
Coming to America Back to School Animal House Army of Darkness Empire Strikes Back Caddy Shack Silence of the Lambs Slap Shot The Graduate Risky Business
Psycho (assuming it's the original) is a great choice and would make the top 25
I have a difficult time limiting myself...some I like to watch over and over are: 1. Indiana Jones series 2. Star Wars series 3. Twister 4. The Lost Boys 5. The Matrix series 6. Forrest Gump 7. Anything with Will Smith 8. Almost all Robin Williams films 9. The SAW films 10 The Nightmare on Elm Street series 11. and so many many more
Wow! I am like in a whole different realm that most of you. Although I do have a few carry overs. Just off the top of my head in no particular order...
Dazed and Confused A Knight's Tale Sweet Home Alabama Original 3 Star Wars Harry Potter series National Treasure 1 The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe Gone with the Wind The Sound of Music Miracle Oceans 11 & 12 (13 sucked)

Good afternoon. This is a hard list to come up with. Below are 25 of my favorites films. However, it is difficult to come up the correct order. I've probably seen Goodfellas more than any other film in my life but I love many others on the list just the same. I've memorized a lot of the dialogue from many of these films as well. And I probably forgot to include a lot of films too. What are your favorites?
Here is my list:
1. Goodfellas [Image] 2. Godfather 3. Godfather 2 4. The French Connection 5. This is Spinal Tap 6. Annie Hall 7. Usual Suspects 8.Pulp Fiction 9. Citizen Kane 10 Taxi Driver [Image] 11. Fargo 12. Midnight Cowboy 13. Casablanca 14. Se7en 15. Dr. Strangelove 16. Sweet Smell of Success 17. Some Like It Hot 18. Double Indemnity 19. Psycho 20. Blazing Saddles 21. Sunset Boulevard [Image] 22. On the Waterfront 23. The Conversation 24. North By Northwest 25. To Kill a Mockingbird

May 28, 2008 at 12:31 PM
Doc, Did you see Manhunter? It is the same story as Red Dragon but I think it is a better film IMHO.
Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecter!
May 28, 2008 at 12:38 PM
Out of the 25 I have seen all but 4. Never saw Fargo, Sweet Smell of Success, Double Indemnity or The Conversation.
But Goodfellas and Casino are probablly my favorite two movies of all time. And I really like most of the movies on your list.
May 28, 2008 at 12:42 PM
Doc I have only seen 5 of your movies though!
May 28, 2008 at 12:43 PM

I don't care for mobster movies or war movies.
I like cheesy comedies like Old School, Dodgeball and pretty much anything Adam Sandler.
May 28, 2008 at 12:49 PM
Doc, refresh my memory please.
May 28, 2008 at 12:49 PM
Doc I have only seen 5 of your movies though!

May 28, 2008 at 12:51 PM
Dude... how did I forget The Shawshank Redemption ??!!!
Get busy living or get busy dying
May 28, 2008 at 12:53 PM
Leighann - I have seen 3 of your movies (Remember The Titans, The first Bourne Movie and Rocky V).
Rocky IV is among my favorites too.
May 28, 2008 at 12:54 PM
Doc, refresh my memory please.
No I haven't seen it, I love the Ed Norton version. The tooth fairy....
May 28, 2008 at 12:55 PM
We are with Leighann with the Adam Sandler Movies, But we love

May 28, 2008 at 1:00 PM

May 28, 2008 at 1:02 PM
Ooooh The Sting gets me every time I fall for it!
(but if you are gonna watch it you better like 'The Entertainer' being played on the paino)
May 28, 2008 at 1:02 PM
Vin, How could you let me forget 'The Untouchables' ?
"I want him DEAD, I want his entire family DEAD!"
"Just like a wop... bring a knife to a gunfight"
That replaces Tombstone and jumps into my Top 10. The Shawshank Redemption takes out Red Dragon
May 28, 2008 at 1:05 PM
Oh yes, I like The Shawshank Redemption!
And The Green Mile
May 28, 2008 at 1:06 PM
Silence of the Lambs is WAY better than any of the other "Hanibal" movies.
May 28, 2008 at 1:07 PM
We recently had a "Pirates" marathon and watched all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, those are entertaining.
We also did a Resident Evil marathon, those are okay.
Oh, and I forgot Pet Semetary on my list!! That's also one of my 7 year olds favorite movies.
May 28, 2008 at 1:11 PM

Goodfellas RULES!
I also (very much) like:
A Bronx Tale
Heart & Souls
What Dreams May Come
Sneakers
Carlito's Way
Casino
Just to name a few.
So many GREAT movies, so little time!
May 28, 2008 at 1:21 PM
Hey Dice whats up? I always thought you didn't like to comment... Thanks for stopping by. don't be a stranger.
Oh yeah and Sneakers was a great movie.
May 28, 2008 at 1:28 PM
Karen, Love Actually is a great movie! So it Intolerable Cruelty or any Coen Brother's films for that matter.
Doc, The Untouchable is nice fluff. Brian DePalma is a chump. You know I am a movie snob!
Dice Mardell, Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your comments. Two Scorsese films on list. You rock.
Oh snap, I forgot The Color of Money!!! Scorsese's third best film behind Goodfeathers and Taxi Cab Confessions Driver.
May 28, 2008 at 1:34 PM
Yea, I'm pretty sure I only saw 5 of those on that list even though I've heard of them all.
Some of my favorites are (in no particular order):
Pi
A Beautiful Mind
And the Band Played On
Rush
Forget Paris
Rocketman (1997 Disney Version)
Legally Blond
Finding Nemo
Emperor's New Groove
May 28, 2008 at 1:57 PM
I've seen them all, many of them multiple times.
Knight puts "Reservoir Dogs" near the top of her list? I'm so in love! ;-)
Has anyone mentioned "Ronin" I love that movie.
I was already planning a movie post for tomorrow.
May 28, 2008 at 2:02 PM
WHAT? You don't have Thombstone listed? What in the world is wrong with you? You know,
"My hypocricy only goes so far"
"My hypocricy knows no bounds".
Best two lines ever!
May 28, 2008 at 2:04 PM
Vinny would say that Tombstone doesn't count because it wasn't in black and white and wasn't directed by "Marty"
May 28, 2008 at 2:17 PM
No Doc I love all genres you film peasant! LOL.
Talisman, Pi is an amazing film! So i assume you saw Reqium for a Dream then? One of the most disturbing films ever.
May 28, 2008 at 2:21 PM
"Film Peasant" ??
WTF Vin? :p
May 28, 2008 at 2:29 PM
Vin is trying to act like he is some sort of elitist....
(and this is the same guy who giggles so hard that he falls off the chair when the Pittsburgh Parrot mascot dances around like he is drunk)
May 28, 2008 at 2:38 PM
I want John Mayer to direct a movie called "Say what you need to say"
May 28, 2008 at 2:45 PM
(and this is the same guy who giggles so hard that he falls off the chair when the Pittsburgh Parrot mascot dances around like he is drunk)
And the same guy who quotes "The Family Guy" and uses "Giggity Giggity Giggity" as a pick up line?
*giggle*
May 28, 2008 at 3:01 PM
I'm trying to figure out which movie would be considered elitist. Not anything named so far, right?
May 28, 2008 at 3:21 PM
Hell yeah Jay! When they pan over to the Watch Your Head sign while Mr. Blonde cuts the cops ear off, I feel all is right with the world and the very sick sense of humor.
May 28, 2008 at 3:24 PM
Any film with Sir Ben Kingsley in it is an elitist film!
