2. You're A Big Boy Now
3. Rocky I
4. Bad News Bears
5. The Notebook, Bridges of Madison County (cheating a bit, but it's my 1-2 emotional punch)
6. Full Metal Jacket
7. Fletch
8. Blood Diamond/Last King of Scotland/Children of Men (again, sorry, but I always watch them back to back to back)
10. It Happened One Night

 

In no order:

Close Encounters of the Third Kind
There Will be Blood

I fucked up. Can't believe I didn't include "Airplane!" on that list -- A movie I have probably seen at least 100 times and still quote at least once a week. Remove "Life is Beautiful" and save me a seat closer to the fire in Hell.

 

First of all, I just love Riptide's list.
Here's mine:

The Godfather
The Shawshank Redemption
Casablanca
12 Angry Men
Godfather II
The African Queen
To Kill A Mockingbird
Treasure Of The Sierra Madre
A Few Good Men
Breakng Away

And always worth a laugh -- My Cousi Vinny

 

Solid list. Any Netflix recommendations, if you are a user? For both TV and movies.
