Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back
or The Three Musketeers (the '70s version, with Oliver Reed)

The Hunt for Red October
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
An old documentary on Cane Toads

The first two shows I can expect most of you to know. The last has a sequence with a 1/4 mile of road covered with many hundreds of cane toads and a car zig-zagging up the road towards the camera. The sound track seems like the regular popping of balloons. The drivers' voice-over explains he swerves across the road aiming for the toads facing him, to trap the air in them and have them explode. Oh sure. some will say it was sick but when I was asked for the funniest thing I had ever seen while I was in a large group of some twenty highly intelligent World Travelers I answered "Cane Toads" and four other people agreed with me.

Pulp Fiction
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Jaws

Clerks
Boondock Saints
Poolhall Junkies

1. John Carpenter's The Thing
2. Star TrekII: The Wrath of Khan
3. Raising Arizona

Seven Samurai
Rashômon
Saving Private Ryan

1. The Best Years Of Our Lives
2. Blue Velvet
3. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

2. Night of the Living Dead. The OG zombie movie.
3. Motorcycle Diaries. Just liked it..

Guilty Pleasure.............. Juno.

True Stories
Waiting For Guffman
Straight, No Chaser

TRUE STORIES!!!!!! One of my FAVORITE movies. I can't believe anyone else has even seen it. I've tried showing it to people, but most of them don't seem to realize how funny it is. I don't get it. It just cracks me up, beginning to end. This and Guffman are 2 of the very rare movies that get me to laugh out loud, even if I'm alone.

I also loved Waiting for Guffman. Now I'll have to keep an eye out for Straight, No Chaser, which I haven't even heard of.

Harold and Maude
City of God
Tied for third: The Bourne Identity, 28 Days Later, Zero Effect, and Death Race 2000

No Country for Old Men - my new favorite

There is some absolutely stunning cinematography in the first act of that movie.

There is some absolutely stunning cinematography in the first act of that movie.

Wasn't everything about that movie absolutely stunning?

I need to buy it so I can watch it again! I keep forgetting.

Yeah, I'd like to own that DVD too. It's probably my favorite Coen brothers movie. They seem like pretty weird dudes.

It's always changing..

I watched Juno yesterday,I feel like it.

Can't just pick three, but here goes...

Kill Bill 1 and 2
Unforgiven
The Outlaw Josey Wales

I love Akira Kurosawa's movies, just about anything with Clint Eastwood isa must watch for me.
