When these movies are on, I have to watch them. No special order.

1. Boys in Company C - Nothing beats the boot camp part of the movie
2. The Third Man - Shows how screwed up Europe was after WWII
2. Gunga Din - What can I say, just a classic
4. 8 MM - Tough, tough flick
5. The Boys From Brazil - Can Gregory Peck look any whiter?
6. Marathon Man - "IS IT SAFE"
7. Fandango - Best soundtrack ever
8. Three Days of The Condor - Just a great spy flick
9. Unforgiven - Nothing beats the last 15 minutes of this western
10. Jurasic Park - Jeff Goldblum steals the movie

My kind of man.

I have Debbie Does Dallas, Series 1 - 10. Don't think much of the dialogue though. They should have sacked the Scriptwriter...

These are not in any particular order and there are so many more that I could add to the list including anything by the Coen Brothers.

1. Les Miserables
2. Braveheart
3. Rob-Roy
4. Dances With Wolves
4. A River Runs Through It
5. Saving Private Ryan
6. Last of the Mohicans
7. Gladiator
8. The Usual Suspects
9. The Silence of the Lambs
10. Miller's Crossing

Miller's Crossing with John Turturro going out to the woods and then when Gabrial Byrne is going to the woods believing he is going to be wacked and he almost faints and pukes all over. Then when one of the goons blurts out; "It's Hanky Time" that was great. This is one of the ultimate machiavellian moments in a movie. The ultimate hustler and one of Coen's best.

Now I'm going to go back and read everybody elses list.
