As for my favorites, I generally identify them as "Movies I can always watch and enjoy, no matter how many times I've seen it:"

- Ocean's Eleven (the remade one - it's just fun to watch)

- Back to the Future (probably because it's my childhood roots)

- Monty Python & the Holy Grail (I also love Life of Brian)

and if you haven't figured out that I'm a geek:

- The Empire Strikes Back

And the oddball movie that just strikes me the right way;

-Down Periscope

I would love to play it some time. I might look for an emulator to do just that
I can send you one of those, too. I have NESticle and pretty much every NES game. But you'd have to wait 'til this evening. I can just upload it to my web site and PM you a link.

But I still do have a working NES, and a joystick for it, as well. My brother never could get the in-flight refueling, and rarely could manage to land on the aircraft carrier. He always had me do it.

Clear cut winner for me is:

Monty Python and the Holy Grail - still frigin' funny as hell after watching it about a 1000 times.

Honorable mentions:

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Singles (best soundtrack evah!!)

Forest Gump

The Terminator

By far - Back to the Future. "Marty!!! Do you have any concept of time??!!"

I cant flip channels by that movie. I have to watch it.

Honorable Mention - Clerks

Lots of good ones mentioned. Black Hawk Down. One of the most accurate army movies IMO. I still get chills every time I see the blackhawk spin into the ground.

Good call on "Singles" great soundtrack!

There's an Alien 4?

I just saw not too long ago, a great movie with Denzel Washington called "Deja Vu". Highly recommend it

Anyone seen Hancock yet? I've read some pretty negative reviews about it which is too bad. Looked like a pretty creative concept, something not very common in todays movies...
