Favorite movies?

1) The Good, Bad and the Ugly. Flat out the best spaghetti western I have ever seen. Yes, Tuco (Eli Wallach) is still alive.
2) Bladerunner
3) Apocalypse Now

Any good recommendations on WWII flicks? I have to rent Bridge over River Quai(?) one of these days...

Groundhog Day is a good one. Saving Pvt Ryan is also very good.

Some others I like are:
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Swingers
Full Metal Jacket
Shawshank Redemption
Slingblade

Three of my favorites with lines are:

Shaun of the Dead -- How's that for a slice of fried gold?

Boondock Saints -- Veritas Aequitas

Old School -- Honey, do you think KFC is still open?

I'll list some of my favorites since I've seen a couple already mentioned:

1. Braveheart
2. Dances with Wolves
3. Lawrence of Arabia
4. The Wild Bunch
5. The Sand Pebbles
6. Last of the Mohicans

IMHO, Saving Private Ryan is about as good as it gets for a World War II movie.

OK, this will raise some eyebrows.

A Tom Cruise movie called Vanilla Sky.

In it Cruise gets the mind fuck of the ages.(Yours will be, too, but it is well worth it to see Cruise get his. I recommend it with a liberal dosing of scotch or something some people smoke in pipes.

I like Jeremiah Johnson and five card stud as well as some of the ones mentioned. Also an old one named Grizzly and night of the Grizzly with Clint Walker.

I also like movies that scare the $h!t out of you. Or try to anyway.

Exorcist comes to mind. There was also a movie a few years ago with Brad Pitt, Kevin Spacey, and Gwenyth Paltro, where Kevin Spacey is a killer and mails Brad his wife's head, called SE7EN. I guess that movie is disturbing because it is something that could actually happen.

Spacey skinned a guy in the movie and when the detectives came upon him, they thought he was dead, but he wasn't. Pretty sick.

One of the frustrating aspects of living in Europe is some of the best efforts of American filmmaking don't make it across the pond. Damn shame as Europeans don't understand what America is really doing these days.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High was a good one. Sean Penn was just too much in that one!!

I do happen to like the entire Star Wars series as well.

Mel Brooks: History of the World Part I---if you haven't seen that one, you are missing out.

BLAZING SADDLES.
