I think most everything on my list has been said already...

• Animal House
• Blazing Saddles
• Predator
• Jaws
• Monty Python's Holy Grail
• Caddyshack
• Fast Times
• Rocky
• Platoon
• Goodfellas
• Braveheart
• Gladiator
• Fargo
• Breakfast Club
• Silence of the Lambs (best movie after I book that I have ever seen)

My wife disagrees on about 90% of the list above. She will put up with Fast Times, Jaws, Rocky and Silence of the Lambs. She loves Breakfast Club. Top Gun is another "throwback" that we can both agree on.

Here are just a few that she will always stop on and I've simply had enough of them:

• Pretty Woman
• Dirty Dancing
• Rocky Horror Picture Show

Yup pretty much all of your movies I would leave on as well...funny about the wife comment, next thread would be "what movies do you keep on that your spouse refuses to watch and leaves the room...and probably calls you names as she's/he's leaving..." Lol

A new one to my list among the usuals (Shawshank, Goodfellas and A Bronx Tale) is Almost Famous... not so much cause its a great movie, although I do think it's a cool flick, but because the ending sequence using Tangerine from Zep with the tour bus from '74 riding into the late afternoon/evening summer haze always makes me nostalgic..

also, though not in film, there was a whole scene cut where William make his mom listen to Stairway to Heaven start to finish.. great scene - someone linked up the tune to the scene cause apparently they couldn't get the rights to that one, but you get the gyst of it - it's on YouTube.

Also classic is backstage with Stillwater while you can hear the main act, Sabbath doing Sweet Leaf on stage lol.. I take it back it is a great movie.. what other flick can feature tunes off Zeppelin 3

Link to cut scene:

No movie will stop me from surfing because I have the attention span of a six year old. But I will always stop for Shawshank or Breakfast Club.......... both with great endings.

Pulp Fiction. My wife will make me change the channel. She hates it.

I think there's a theme here.

Beetlejuice
Johnny Dangerously
The original 3 Star Wars

You know. October sky is on my list as well...I like the story, the actors, based on a true story.

Life of Brian. More than Holy Grail for me, actually.

Life of Brian. More than Holy Grail for me, actually.

I just wish the Holy Grail were on more..."it's just a flesh wound" and "I fart in your general direction" might be the best dialogue...also could be they were imprinted on my brain when I was like 11 when I first saw them so thats's what stuck...and what also made sense to me...at 11 farting was awesome, as a matter of fact not that different now

There you go, always looking at the bright side of life.
