There are so many movies to choose from so I'll keep going:

Deliverance (very wholesome)
Talented Mr. Ripley (also wholesome)
Braveheart
Gladiator
A Clockwork Orange
Fletch
Casablanca
Glory
Teen Wolf (I WANT A KEG OF BEER...and these)
Team America: World Police
Wonder Boys
American Beauty
Caddyshack
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Field of Dreams
Indiana Jones trilogy

Biggest Tearjerker: Terms of Endearment (it was Jack Nicholson's newly found compassion that did it for me)
Best WWII movie: Bridge on the River Kwai (screw Shaving Ryan's Privates)
Best Vietnam movie: Full Metal Jacket (Apocalypse Now too weird, Oliver Stone is a d*ckweed so screw Platoon)
Movies that best use music: Rushmore, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Grosse Pointe Blank, The Graduate

enough from me for now

Oh, Election. Forgot that one, one of my favorite movies.

I love all 80s teen movies.

I'm confused how number 12 fits in there. Well, I guess it's no worse than me listing Teen Wolf, even though it IS the greatest sports movie of all time. :wink: The caliber of basketball in that film is so good, it could only come from an all white town of 200 people.

Does anybody find the movie Bulworth with Warren Beatty funny? It was just on VH1 and I busted myself cracking up a few times.

Thank God the Aviator and Scorsese got snubbed this year at the Oscars. I hate it when they hand out Oscars for life achievement instead of merit. Like Morgan Freeman. Thomas Haden Church should have won.
