Favorite movies. Hmmm.. I'm thinking these are to be ones that I'd stop what I'm doing to watch them when they come on, right? Right:

A Christmas Story has gotta be tops. I watch that while wrappin' presents every year, on TNT, the 24 hour Ralphie channel!!

After that, well...

Somewhere in Time.
Sixteen Candles
Better Off Dead
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
ET
Raiders set.
Star Wars all, natch.
What Dreams May Come. That's a cool movie. Annabella Scioria in the blue dress, mmmm.
Full Metal Jacket, the first half. The other half isn't bad really, but the first part.
Shawshank Redemption
The American President
Saving Private Ryan
Apollo 13
Moonwalker. The Michael Jackson thing. I dunno, I just like it.
Wizard of Oz
Annie
Blazing Saddles
Matrix trilogy
The Dream Is Alive (IMAX about the Shuttle, Walter Chronkite narrating)
Dogma
Office Space
Clerks

dang, I could go on and on. Oh, have to mention these:
And, since I am a Trekkie:
Star Trek II
Star Trek, The Motion Picture, but only the first half. After that, blah.
Star Trek III the part when they get home, until they steal the ship. After that, blah.

That's enough.

The Usual Suspects is cool.

My favorite would have to be the Sean Connery James Bond flicks - pick one!

My wife hates that movie, but it keeps getting funnier every time I see it.

I put trilogy, becuase i like it as a whole, but i really like I and III the most. Two was okay, but the whole alternate "present" with the biff casino part sucked, imo

Yeah, I actually liked the beginning and ending (seeing the first movie from an alternate angle) .. That middle part kinda got me. :-)

And in Part three you get ZZ-Top AND flying trains!!
