Too many to choose from. Always been a fan of Pulp Fiction and Happy Gilmore. Saw Avatar in 3D a few weeks ago. While I'm not a big SciFi fan, this movie was trippy. I don't know if I can watch another non-3D movie.

Back to the Future - Pretty much the best-linked trilogy ever made. Oh yeah, it's a sci-fi comedy about time travel too.

Star Wars - love the CGI prequels, and the originals are classic

Lord of the Rings - Tolkien's work is captured worderfully on the big screen, though some great characters were omitted.

Twins - Arnold comedies aren't usually good but this is an exception

Aviator - Dicaprio does a great job playing the eccentric aerospace, casino and film mogul

Titanic - though a little too chick flicky for my tastes

Just about anything with Chris Farley or David Spade as the lead.

Ditto for Chevy Chase - love Vacation movies

Breakfast Club - essentially says high school = fakest place on earth where everyone is simultaneously rebelling against and trying to impress their parents, which is true.

Favorite sports movies:

Major League - 1 and 2 were great. 3 was minor league in more ways than one. Omar Epps is a downgrade from Wesley Snipes, but it still works.

The Program - Latimer was a nut. I'd love for someone like that to play for BYU. I think Jason Buck was probably the closest thing to a complete badass DE. College football stereotypes at their finest.

Rudy - IMO, a more realistic look at college football than the sensationalized and stereotyped Program. Just an underdog guy with a dream and dedication. It's hard not to get teared up at the end.

Necessary Roughness - Unrealistic and ridiculous, but that's what makes it a great comedy.

Sandlot - Technically a baseball movie, but the real battle was against a steroid dog owned by a blind ex-baseball player.

The Wrestler - There aren't many good wrestling movies, mostly because they follow "kayfabe" in and out of the ring. Though this is not the first movie to break pro wrestling kayfabe in movies, it is one of the first to fully cover behind the scenes stuff, though it is a guy well past his prime in minor league indy promotion, just struggling to get by and as the theme song says "a one trick pony". This movie reflects the current status of 80s wrestlers such as Jake the Snake or Lex Luger - health problems, drug problems, bankrupcy, children that want to have nothing to do with them, etc.
