    One of mine is on now................."Guess Who's Coming To Dinner".

    I know: for a "big time right winger" like me, I shouldn't like this movie.....................but from my "thespian" days in high school, I do!!!!!

    It's great.

    "Strange Brew" - Bob and Doug Mackenzie....Canada's best export!

    Monty Pythons "Holy Grail" and "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" are just about as awesome!

    • Mamma Mia - Musical
    • Patton - war
    • Casablanca - Love

    I seem to like "trilogy" movies:

    Indiana Jones
    Star Wars episodes IV, V, VI
    Lord of the Rings
    The Dark Knight
    The Toy Story movies
    Jason Bourne series
    The Godfather

    If you can't tell, I'm in my 30's! But I do appreciate pretty much anything with Clint Eastwood like the Dirty Harry movies. And I love the comedies from the 80's with Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, John Candy, and I'll throw Chris Farley in that group as well. Just about all the comedies I've seen this decade have been a HUGE letdown!

    I'd rather watch the Fireview than any movie in the last 20 years....:emb:
    Tommy Boy and A Night At The Museum were pretty funny

    Oh, and The Expendables was good

    One of my all time favs is a little known movie from 1985 starring Eric Roberts and Jon Voight called Runaway Train. Coolest ending ever:

    I've got a varied taste in movies, but none are 'new' by any means. Below are some that come to mind:

    Die Hard (1,2,3)
    Lethal Weapon (1,2,3)
    Any of the Dirty Harry films
    Blues Brothers
    Animal House
    Blazing Saddles
    Airplane
    Major League
    Caddyshack

    Gonna watch "V for Vendetta" tomorrow night, it is an annual tradition on the 5th of November.

    "The Great Escape" is a great one.

    Why no love for -"The Human Centipede"? Superb acting and the plot twists keep you connected to the one before it.
