just wondered what got you lot going? Some of my favorite movies:

magnolia, george washinton, love liza, jesus's son, dead mans shoes, a room for romeo brass, black hawk down, thin red line, blue velvet and loads more. Just bored at the mo. so wondered what you thought.

jtrodreigez,
For most of my life it was Empire Strikes Back. Now, I don't know. I'm more in to anime (GO Naruto!) and reality television these days. Jet Li's Hero would be a modern favorite. Shawshank Redemption, anything that I can watch over and over and still get in to it.

What's in the right ear? Or, perhaps more appropriately, what's hanging below the right ear?

Yeah man. You mentioned a couple of "perfect movies" right there. My perfect movies? Let's see...
Caddyshack
Friday
The Negotiator
Half Baked
Shawshank
Empire Strikes Back

Resevoir Dogs
Do the Right Thing
Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail
That's all I can think of right now...

bumperhead,
Dag I might have to go and rent me some Negotiator today!!!

bingolong,
As with Shawshank, The Negotiator is a flick about someone wrongfully accused, which brings me to another perfect movie, The Fugitive. I love that "I told your ass so" moment in all those films. Guess it's just a black thing. ALWAYS need an alibi. And a Mexican escape route. And a plastic moustache.

bumperhead,
Hell yeah

bingolong,

robfharris,
So far it looks like Shawshank is just about on everybody's list
