This is just a random list that I'm throwiing out at 4:13 am becasue I can't sleep. Some of my favorites that come to mnd in this sleep deprived state. I reserve the right to amend

Pulp Fiction
Animal House
Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein
Barberela (only because it was the first time I saw skin in a movie)
The French Connection
The Best Years of Our Lives (that's close to the title--its an old movie that tells the stories of several soldiers coming home from WWII)
Godfather I
Dirty Pretty Things (out his year)
War movies: The Thin Red Line, Platooon, Porkchop Hill, The Longest Day

This will be interesting......

[sq764]

I think the 3 best scenes ever are:

1) Steve Martin at the rental car counter in Planes/Trains/Automobiles..classic

2) When Ray Liota and Kevin Costner had a catch (as father and son) on Field of Dreams

3) When Rudy sacks the QB on the last play of the game he got in..

Bonus: When John Belushi took the folk singer's guitar and smashed it against the hallway walls..

Scarface , that reminded me. I ran into Chi Chi (Angel Salazar) at the bar at the Borgata 2 weeks ago. He was doing his stand up show there. We convinced him to play craps for the first time in his life. Every time he rolled, before he released we made him say his classic catch phrase "Check it Out". Table was goin nuts, free Heinekins were coming , and the guy had a pretty good roll for his first time. We all walked with a profit, which I deposited into a parimutual black hole the next afternoon at the race book :(

Ray Liotta was Shoeless Joe. Sounds like time to rent it again....

[Lefty]

Memorable Scenes: I'll never forget Slim Pickins ridin that A Bomb to glory in Dr. Strangelove.

[MarylandPaul@HSH]

A few that I didn't see mentioned...

Gladiator with Russell Crowe.
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
Memento
Snatch (great camera work)

Also, check out a flick called "Wild Things", with Matt Dillon, Kevin Bacon, and Denise Richards:p . More plot twists than you can imagine.

[ljb]

American Beauty with Kevin Spacey
Best movie ever

[sq764]

That was a weird movie.. Especially him dreaming about a 17 year old girl..

And the end was a little odd..

Good movie, nonethless..

[JimG]

Let it Ride
Hoosiers
Shawshank Redemption
A Bronx Tale
Goodfellas
Top Gun

Yahoooooooooo!
Great ending.

I love that one statement, while the Russian guy and George Scott are fighting....

"Stop it! Stop it! You can't fight in here, this is the war room!"

And that wandering hand that kept trying to strangle the guy.....side splitting stuff.

There are so many good ones to choose from. We all liked certain movies when we were a kid, and other ones when we became an adult. A guess a person could go to www.imdb.com (Internet Movie Database) and do a search and reminisce some more.

Here are a few I really liked:

1. The Collector

2. The Pink Panther

3. The Black Raven (you can watch this one for free online at www.movieflix.com)

4. Any Bowery Boys movies

5. Red River ...and many other John Wayne movies...Did you get that pilgrim?
