LotR is the best movie trilogy in existence.

Godfather I and II are arguably two top five movies ever.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is good stuff. I haven't seen Road to Perdition in a long, long time, but it was excellent

[Dapper Dan]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The Big Lebowski
Tin Cup

The fact that A Fish Called Wanda appears nowhere on this page is a crime tantamount to human trafficking.

A fish. Called Wanda.

A fish. Called Wanda.

Is that like the prequel to Finding Nemo?

[chazoe60]

That is a great movie.

I watched See No Evil Hear No Evil with my son a few weeks ago, he thought it was the funniest thing he's ever seen.

I still need to see this, bet you're right.

[wayninja]

I only mentioned Naked gun, but anything David Zucker/Leslie Neilson is basically a national treasure.

[wayninja]

I might have mentioned this before in another thread at some point, but one of my greatest/strongest childhood memories was of watching Naked Gun with my father. I had seen it before, but he hadn't, and watching him watch it was hilarious. He had this crazy infectious way of laughing that just magnified every funny scene in that movie by 100. It got to the point where I was simply watching him watch the movie and enjoying it more than the movie itself.

That's probably a big part of why I love that movie so much. Don't get me wrong, the money is funny as ****, and the reason why my Dad was laughing so hard, but the constructive interference/feedback loop of him laughing at the baseball scene and me laughing at him was such that I think it's the only time in my life I was actually in danger of peeing myself with laughter.

I can't believe I left Shawshank off of my original list. WTF

Your list is much better without it!
