Not much of a selection to most of you I bet, I'm not the biggest movie buff. But those are definitely some favorites.

[LedZep77]

Saving Private Ryan

That's a really good movie. It seems really complete, in it's story and meaning.quote]

Definitely

 

[LedZep77]

Saving Private Ryan
Pan's Labyrinth
Sin City
Signs
Happy Gilmore/Billy Madison

Pan's Labyrinth was indeed great.
Sin City too!
Still haven't watched Ryan (shoot me )
Not big on the rest

You need to watch Saving Private Ryan

I suppose Gladiator could be substituted with Happy Gilmore/Billy Madison.

 

[Chris Schmidt]

1. Goodfellas
2. Wall Street
3. Midnight Run
4. Wise Guys (no, thank YOU Mr. Acavano!)
5. Escape from Alcatraz

6+ Any old James Bond Movie

Dude....I thought about putting Kelly's Heros but I didn't think anyone would know that movie. Talk about an ALL start cast back in the day before most of them were famous.

Great call !

My best attempt at a top 5:

1. Apocalypse Now
2. Godfather II
3. The French Connection
4. Seven
5. Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Honorable Mentions: Animal House, Heat, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, Taxi Driver, A Fish Called Wanda

3. Midnight Run

This flick is pure genius. Awesome pull.

I felt the same way about Wise Guys (danny devito, joe piscipo)
other dont have to know it for it to be a great movie, and besides, guys our age wont know half the stuff the 20 year olds follow movie wise

 

[guitar_god123456]

1. Raising Arizona
2. A Fish Called Wanda
3. Star Wars (all of them)
4. Dumb and dumber
5. 12 monkeys


as you can tell I'm a big comedy and Sci-fi watcher......not so much into drama AT ALL.

BUT then there's Horror.......

1. Halloween
2. The Shining
3. The exorcist
4. Audition
5. Friday the 13th

Hey I'm an artist. I have the right to be touch/feely
I love 12 Monkeys! I like comedy a lot but mainly if it's a British super witty tv series

+1 to dumb and dumber and star wars

and fawlty towers of course

 

[thiswaythatway]

Lord Of The Rings...Best Trilogy Ever. But I'll pick Return Of The King.

Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Harrison Fords best movie

The Matrix

Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back.

The Man With The Golden Gun. My favorite Bond movie.


And The Godfather deserves some credit right.
