[starsong]

oooh oooh I need to edit mine to add Rocky Horror... thanks!

 

[Gardner808]

Can't believe I left Princess Bride off of my list. I have seen that movie at least 20 times. And I love it every time.

 

[Frick]

The Princess Bride always rates. I cannot go past it when channel surfing, even if I recently saw it. Priceless movie.

This is Spinal Tap. All-time favorite. I think I know the dialogue by heart.

The Matrix

Old School. "You're my boy, Blue! You're my boy..."

A Christmas Story. yearly holiday must-see, along with Die Hard.

Almost Famous. Fantastic nostalgic soundtrack. I have to see this movie at least once a year.

I have to agree with slim: almost any MST3K movie, but my favorite is Manos: The Hands of Fate.

I could go on for another 20 or so.

[incantius]

Princess Bride
Back to School
Tommy Boy

[starsong]

And I can't believe I left A Christmas Story off my list. My brother and I cannot pronounce this word any other way now:
Fra - gee - lay

 

[DeeLeeKay]

I love Avatar.

 

[Gardner808]

I think Avatar is one of the best movies ever. I am trying to decide if I could watch it over an over though. I have seen it 4 times so far and enjoyed it each time.

 

[DeeLeeKay]

I love the graphics in Avatar. That and the flying with dragons part. It is sooooo beautiful.

 

[Gardner808]

No doubt. I would say it is the most beautiful movie I have ever seen. I think it will be so for many, many years to come.

 

[starsong]

Regrettably I'm one of the 23 people in the world that didn't see it in 3D at the theaters. Watched it at home and it was great, but it must have been awesome in 3D. Maybe in 10 yrs when everyone has 3D TVs I'll catch it on a classic movie channel.

 

[zotzer]

Avatar in 3D is a must see. Not because of the story....it is very James-Cameron-Trite-Predictable.....but because of the visuals. Amazingly beautiful movie.

 

[DeeLeeKay]

Took my grandchildren to see the movie in 3D. My one grandaughter(6 years old at the time) kept reaching out and trying to touch things it looked so real to her.

 

[Frick]

And I can't believe I left A Christmas Story off my list. My brother and I cannot pronounce this word any other way now:
Fra - gee - lay

It must be Italian!


Avatar was visually fantastic, and many parts of the story well-crafted, but overall it's a bit preachy for my taste.

 

[Morandir835]

Let's see Gardner sir think my current top five go:

Clerks and Clerks II
Pitch Black
The Shawshank Redemption
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist
Mars Attacks

There are many more, and the top 5 switch depending on my mood, but Clerks and Clerks II are always on the top of it...
