Yes, I think of that one every time I put mayo on a hamburger.

[Richard at Remax]

2001: a space odyssey

I don't know why but I can watch it any time.

[mugofbeer]

Any James Bond movie

[SoonerDave]

Mrs. Doubtfire. The near-end scene where Sally Field realizes the scam her husband has played on her, and starts replaying the whole movie in her head, and starts grumbling..."The whole time? The whole time?? THE WHOLE TIME???" is a classic in our family. Watched it way too many times. Really endures.

You've Got Mail Yeah, Meg Ryan looks almost anorexic, and the barely-veiled hatred for big bookstores like Barnes and Noble is a little tiring, but Tom Hanks keeps it going, Ryan's quirky employees at the bookstore make it fun, and the whole email schtick includes some really outstanding dialog IMHO.

Octo***** Although you could list any one of several Bond flicks here, this one is the entry that got me hooked..took two different dates on back to back nights to see it, and don't think I had back-to-back dates ever again :grin . I think its the best of the Roger Moore Bond films....right along with "For Your Eyes Only.." .I kinda lost interest after the 2nd Pierce Brosnan film...

Wargames Despite numerous technical liberties that just didn't mesh with the technology of the time, this is a dandy adventure movie despite its cloyingly anti-nuke rhetoric. Admiral Berringer versus Dabney Coleman were classic scenes.

Shawshank Redemption Absolutely fabulous movie; a little too vivid and literal about the dark side of prison life for the younger crowd, but the way Andy Dufrense outsmarts the prison warden is just too irresistable. Never thought I'd like anything Stephen King (sp) wrote, but it just goes to show ya...

Star Trek: The Motion Picture Okay, okay, I admit it - I'm a mega Trekkie from the mid 70's, and despite this being a pretty lethargic movie, it was larger than life at its premiere in 1979, and I couldn't tell you how many times I've watched it. Yeah, there were better Trek flicks, probably including the franchise reboot this summer, but for all its faults and flaws, TMP was the *first* big-screen adventure for Trek. Its Oscar-nominated score by Jerry Goldsmith resonates to this day, 30 years after the movie was released, and is heralded by many as one of the greatest movie scores ever.

The Firm Although this adaptation falls short of what many think was a superior novel version, this Tom Cruise intrigue flick about a corrupt Memphis law firm is a great way to pass a rainy afternoon, even if only to see Wilford Brimley get the #%(^% kicked out of him at the end. Its been a while since Cruise made a movie this watchable, and opted to start jumping chairs and pushing Scientology...

A Few Good Men YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH.....'nuff said!

[icecold]

I dont even have a close second....hands down---CHRISTMAS VACATION

[MadMonk]

Those are some good ones...especially Christmas Vacation and Blazing Saddles. I'd like to add Field of Dreams to my list. I can't believe I forgot it. It has one of my favorite monologues in film:

Terence Mann: Ray, people will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.

[OKCDrummer77]

Apollo 13: The scene toward the end when the Odyssey comes out of blalckout. "Hello, Houston? This is Odyssey. It's good to see you again." The eruption of cheers that follows that line gives me chills every time.

[fromdust]

a christmas story
the matrix
crouching tiger, hidden dragon
ghost in the shell
terminator 2
total recall..........

[hagrid]

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome used to be a favorite to watch over and over. I second the Outlaw Josey Wales.

I used to put on <don't laugh> the Walt Disney version of Pinnochio and then turn the sound down real low, so I could go to sleep with it on.
LOL.

I SAID don't laugh!

[kmf563]

[SoonerDave]

Can't believe I overlooked the Vacation movies - (original and Christmas), or Apollo 13. Having just visited the Kennedy Space Center and toured their complex, including a run by the Vehicle Assembly Building, and the old Apollo launch control center (which has been modded slightly for exhibition but retains most of its original layout, including the wall displays and control consoles) it gives you an entirely new perspective on just how miraculous the moon missions were....

[USG '60]

Crossroads
Little Shop of Horrors
The Gods Must Be Crazy
Rustler's Rapsody

[TaoMaas]

[evh5150]
