What are your guys' favorite movies?

My top 5 list:

1. Napoleon Dynamite (freaking hillarious )
2. The Fugitive
3. Office Space (oooh...umm....yeah...I'm, um, going to go ahead and have to sort of....disagree with you there... )
4. Bridge on the River Kwai
5. Phantom of the Opera (fine....call me a pansy, I liked it )

Movies I'd like to see sometime:

1. Borat
2. Dirty Dozen (I've never made through all of it before)
3. Patton (same as Dirty Dozen)
4. Caddyshack (for some reason, I've seen about 3 minutes of it. The only scene that sticks out in my mind is Rodney Dangerfield saying "ooh, uh, my arm, my arm"
5. The Matrix

Some "classics" that I've never, ever seen in my life:

Jaws, the Godfather, Jerry Maguire, Raging Bull, Hoosiers, any of the Dirty Harry moves (in fact, I've never seen ANY Clint Eastwood film), Full Metal Jacket, North by Northwest, Brokeback Mountain (j/k )

I like anything with Eastwood. My favorites were Pale Rider, Unforgiven, The Gauntlet, Dirty Harry, High Plains Drifter, and my personal favorite The Outlaw Josey Wales. I liked Any which way you can also.

I like To Kill a Mockingbird. I enjoyed the book more than the movie though. Movies are just never the same when compared to novels because in the novels, you can use your imagination.

I've never been a big fan of Oliver Stone films. It's not because of his politics, it's just that I don't think he puts out a good product.

Just my opinion....

You NEVER saw Full Metal Jacket???

GREAT MOVIE!


1. Forrest Gump
2. The Hunt for Red October
3. The Blues Brothers
4. Back to the Future Trilogy
5. Vacation Movies

Honorable mention: The 2 Fletch movies

2. Open Range
3. Silverado
4. Young Guns
5. Most of John Waynes stuff....can't stand to watch Clint Eastwood though (especially that spaghetti western stuff)

2. Lord of the Rings (all of them)

4. Braveheart

My wife and I are suckers for 80's films:
1. Can't Buy Me Love
2. The Breakfast Club
3. Ferris Bueler's Day Off

Other:
1. Cinema Paradiso (Italian film...one of the best ever made...highly recommend)
2. To Kill a Mockingbird (should be a required watch by everyone)
3. The Postman (Kevin Costner one....not the foreign film El Positino)
4. The Notebook (yet again make fun of me...I think I might have actually shed a tear at the end of this one)

I am sure there are many more........

Not to worry, Dossenator, I will assuredly not make fun of you as I am a fan of the Phantom of the Opera and The Notebook actually wasn't a bad movie.

Besides, I am a sports guy, that has to cancel that out

One guy I can't stand is Ben Stiller. Nothing he ever does seems funny to me (I noticed you have a lot of Ben Stiller movies on there). I guess his humor style never really appeals to me.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is one of my favorite movies too. Just missed out on my list. It's my 3rd favorite comedy behind Napoleon Dynamite and Office Space.

I like Forrest Gump too, Rolltide. Good movie!

To Kill a Mockingbird is probably my favorite book of all time. I tell you what, Harper Lee should've written more stories in her lifetime. A lot of lessons to be learned from that tale.

HEY Doss....."Caveman" was hilariouis.

When Ringo started playing that Bee Gee's song (I think)...That was comedy.
