Bob C- "One word, plastics, there's a great future in plastics".

[Bud Williams]

No Time for Sargeants - 1958?

Mr Roberts

Animal House

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Beverly Hills Cops

The Hang Over was funny...



many others too many to list, should have been top 100 not in order...



I also saw Last Holiday at the theater a few years ago.

thought Queen Latifa and LL Cool J did a great job in those.

everytime it comes on TV now I seem to have to stop and watch it again...

 

[Andy Chase]

In no particular order, and at least what I can think of at work:



Zoolander

Friday Night Lights

Blind Side (maybe because I just saw this one Monday)

8 mile

Wedding Crashers



Side note: "Big" Movies I haven't seen yet:

Any Matrix movies

Titanic

Transformers

Avatar

(and I have no real inclination to see these since too many people talked too much about them and tried pressuring me into seeing them, so it turned me off of these movies).

 

[TrainTrac]

Good call on "Taking Chance", Redfish. That has to be one of the best movies ever made by HBO.:supercool:



1. The Godfather/The Godfather Part II

2. The Lord of the Rings trilogy

3. Animal House

4. Mr. Roberts

5. Bullitt



I noticed that most of us listed very few movies released after about 1990. Does that speak to the lack of quality product coming out of modern-day Hollywood, or our age? Personally, I think it's a lack of originality and quality in today's entertainment industry.

 

[Thomas Rogers]

Sorry, I can't do top 5 of all time...heads not there at the moment.



I need to narrow the list to just Paul Newman movies:



1. Nobody's Fool



2. Absence of Malice



3. Slapshot



4. Cool Hand Luke



5. Road to Perdition





Probably the first on my list above makes it to the "Top 5 of all time" listing. Not sure what others would be on that list.
