I have a ton of them. Back in the day, whenever I moved into a new place and was unpacking I'd throw on American Werewolf in London. Then I'd spend about 90% of my time watching it instead of unpacking.

Also, I dig that movie The Burbs. Cracks me up everytime. "You keep a horse in the basement?!"

Airplane rocks. Truly a classic. =)

The Thing

I have gone through 2 VHS's of that movie. I love it. I even rented a DVD of it (When I still had a VHS) Just for the bonus footage.

American Werewolf in London!! What a classic. I love the shower scene...all people should be listening to Van Morrison's Moodance when they're getting jiggy with it.Smiley: grin

For me, Holy Grail or Life of Brian ("He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!"Smiley: laugh)get my vote.

Shamefully, I'll admit that I like to catch The Breakfast Club or any of those John Hughes beauties on TV. Ahh, sweet memories. I remember watching that movie with two of my girl friends and three boys we went to school with. We played "Truth or Dare" after and I had to put my had down the pants of one the guys. I wasn't about to be called a chicken so I did it but I was so nervous that I forgot to relax my hand on the approach. It went in like a spatula and his jeans were so tight it almost stayed there.

Oops. Look what's that person posting??

The Fifth Element, or Pride And Prejudice. I won't always be in the mood for one, but if I'm not, the other will generally do the trick.

This would be easier for me with books.

Nobody's Fool, or Good Will Hunting.

I have GWH burned to CD (no dvd of either!) so I can take it to work. Sometimes I don't bother with the movie but just read the script.

Okay...just remember you asked for it.

I once knew a guy in England who had a prosthetic ********. He could take it out of the...errr...place where it hung and put it back in just like that! The very first night I met him, out with a large group of friends, he took it out and popped it in my beer. Yay! See? We all have talents.

LOL...the best part is that he went around the bar after and challenged people to beer chugging contests, but just as they'd pick up their glass to start, he toss it in their beer too.

I miss that guy. /sigh

Dogma
Highlander (only the original)
Army of Darkness

Funniest scene - Bobcat Goldthwaite in a Godzilla suit tromping a real estate model - extra points if you can name the movie!
