    Fuck Blazing Saddles.

    Major League is where it's at.

    I'm with finishthehat and Bubbler on Day of the Jackal. People on the street during filming thought the guy playing Charles de Gaulle was actually him.

    Had never seen Michel Lonsdale in anything until Moonraker. He had done Jackal in the mid-1970s, IIRC, and was very good as the detective.

    Just a very good plot.

    Fuck me?!

    No, Fuck you!

    Fuck you.........no FUCK YOU.

    (Diner scene in Rounders.)

    Another movie that has aged well is Coming to America.

    The barbershop is one of the top 10 single comedic scenes in cinema.

    Doesn't count really because I saw them years after they came out but "A Face in the Crowd" would have worked five years ago, five days ago.

    China Syndrome. Utterly nerve-wracking. Great cast: Fonda, Douglas, Lemmon, Wilford Brimley, James Karen.

    And thank G–d that it so far has resisted all attempts to remake. (Except for the "Glenn Beck Program," you're thinking to yourself.)

    Sullivan's Travels and Meet John Doe are also great.

    TDOTJ was so much better than the remake with Richard Gere and Bruce Willis. More of a plot instead of shoot 'em up...

    Office Space.
    I also agree on Blues Brothers.
    Dead Poets Society.
    Duel (Spielberg's directing debut in 1971).
