Henry Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I hate to be unoriginal but mine has to be Star Wars. Whoever said The Princess Bride, that's my close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbear Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Tough to chose between Star Wars and Casablanca. I guess I'd probably go with Star Wars. I can't believe anybody but me saw Spirited Away. I thought the movie was awesome, but I liked Princess Mononoke too. The theatre was pretty much empty when I went to go see it. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD in April.

codeorama Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Hands down, bar none, Star Wars..... I can't single out any one of the series, I love them all and I still watch them over and over.... I mean, come on, what can possibly be cooler than Han Solo, Darth Vader, Lightsabers, Boba Fett, Space Battles, Tusken Raiders, Jango Fett, Yoda and Natalie Portman in tight clothes.... :notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I'm a big fan of "Some like it hot" and "Dr. Stranglove" as well as "Casablanca." I also love Hitch**** movies, "North by Northwest," "Charade" and " To catch a Thief" come to mind. I have loved all of the Star Wars movies and the Lord of the Rings films have been very well done, although I am probably biased on those because I love the books so much. The AFI ran a top 100 and their number one movie was Citizen Kane. I can see that people would love that movie, but it's not in my top ten.

just skins baby Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 One of my favorites is "Raiders of the Lost Ark" I enjoy Cool Hand Luke, Bullitt, Fat Man and Little Boy which I just saw again on HBO. Back to School and Easy Money with Rodney Dangerfield. I don't like Kevin Costner or Keanu Reeves so I have never seen Dances with Wolves, Bull Durham or Matrix but some people like them.
