    On Amazon Prime I've been watching a bunch of older John Wayne, Charles Bronson, Humphrey Bogart, Clint Eastwood, etc... and loving them. Some great movies. Many are far better than today's content.

    Ok...What about Bob with Bill Murray is my all time favorite. I also love just about any Marvel movie. I just discovered Harry Potter also (didn't think I would like the movies but I was wrong, they are great.) My sons and I try to go see movies fairly regularly as father/son time. We enjoy doing that. National lampoons Christmas Vacation is on my all time favorite list too. Chevy Chase movies are great too.

    Runaway Train is a great movie! I used to watch a bunch of obscure movies back in the day on a rainy Saturday or when off sick from school. Hardly anyone knows Runaway Train.

    I will post up some of my favs later.

    I may have peeked at my DVD cabinet for a split second. :binoculars:

    Unfortunately, I don't own copies of many of those listed.
