Top three favorites:
Master and Commander, Far side of the world (you can practically smell the salty air)
Gosford Park
Dazed and Confused ("I wanna dance!")

Other favorites:
The Godfather
The Godfather part 2 (Godfather 3 wasn’t a bad movie but it just didn’t have that Godfather feel).
The Last of the Mohicans (the 1992 version, my sig line comes from this movie)
Miracle
V for Vendetta
Logan’s Run
Schindler’s List (never fails to rile me up and leave me needing to suppress the urge to go out and shoot nazis)
Pink Floyd: The Wall
Fame (that school was so much cooler than my real school)
Saving Private Ryan
Fly Away Home (sniff, gets me every time)
12 Monkeys
Braveheart
The Shawshank Redemption
The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Supremacy (we’ll see about the new Bourne movie)
Alien
Aliens (Alien: Resurrection is okay but I hate the third movie – Newt Dies???!!! Come on, what was the point of the second movie? I much prefer to believe that Ripley, Hicks and Newt made it back to earth. Ripley and Hicks get married – Bishop is the best man – and adopt Newt. Everybody lives happily ever after)
Return of the Living Dead ("send... more... paramedics")
Breaking Away ("Refund?")

Recently added to the favorites list:
Apocalypto
The Queen

Considering adding to favorites list:
Bridge to Terabithia

Other movies I like that I wouldn’t have thought of if I hadn’t read this thread:
The Outlaw Josey Wales
The Deer Hunter
A few Good Men
A Clockwork Orange
Forest Gump
The Gods Must be Crazy
1984 ("Do it to Julia!")
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
Escape From New York
The Thing ("You’ve got to be fucking kidding.")
The Crow
My Cousin Vinny

I agree that you can't limit films to just the 70's and after. Some movies I watch over and over again and I know what is happening just by the music.

John Wayne

Rio Bravo, El Dorado, Rio Lobo, In Harms Way, The Quiet Man, North To Alaska, Hellfighters etc.

Cary Grant

Father Goose, Houseboat, Operation Petticoat, To Catch a Theif

Errol Flynn

The Adventures of Robin Hood, (my favorite movie) Captian Blood, The Sea Hawks, Elizabeth and Essex then all his westerns too!

Any Robin Hood movie and any Pirate movie

Snow White, Cinderella, Song of the South (which most likely will never come out again until we stop being Politically Correct every God given moment) Mary Poppins, Beauty and the Beast, Old Yeller I could go on, so does Disney.

Musicals

1776, (funny and full of history) Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, Hello Dolly, The Music Man, Victor-Victoria, Kiss Me Kate, Paint Your Wagon

Since I do not like what most critics like I can't say that I watch or go out to see them.
I don't go to slasher movies or horror, most of the time I also stay away from Mobster movies unless they are comedies.
Married to the Mob
Love at First Bite

Romance

Shakespeare in Love
Princess Bride
Sabrina (old and new)
Sleepless in Seattle
What Women Want
Kate and Leopold

that covers alot of ground for me I could go on

You are right but I am allowed to deviate, its in my contract.
The Joe E Brown last line in the pic., when Jack Lemmon reveals he's a man, is one of the funniest ever. IMO.
Wont quote because it needs to be heard in context.

Incidently I really liked Play Misty for Me. Clint Eastwood and a brilliant actress whose name I dont know.

Slapshot.

Don't miss it. And now back to Jim Carr's Sports Talk.

JIM: Hi. Jim Carr again. Denis, I know that some in our audience don't know the finer points of hockey. Could you tell them, for example, what is icing?

DENIS: Well, icing happen when the puck come down, bang, you know, before the other guys, nobody there, you know. My arm go comes out, then the game stop then start up.

JIM: I see. What is high-sticking?

DENIS: High-sticking happen when the guy take the stick, you know, and he go like that. You don't do that. Oh, no. Never, never.

JIM: Why not? - Against the rules.

DENIS: You stupid when you do that, some English pig with no brains...

JIM: Denis, what is slashing?

DENIS: ( making slashing motion with hockey stick ) Slashing is like that, you know?

JIM: Mm-hm. And there's a penalty for that?

DENIS: - Yeah. And for trip also, you know. -

JIM: Oh?

DENIS: Like that. And for hook like this. - And for spear, you know, like that. -

JIM: Mm-hm.

DENIS: All bad. You do that, you go to the box, you know. Two minutes by yourself, and you feel shame, you know.

JIM: Mm-hm.

DENIS: And then you get free.

Mulholland Drive (David Lynch) is the most fantastic film I have seen in recent years. (And not only because it has a beautiful woman on woman love scene.)

Thank you Alumbrado, I was wondering is that the same ghost dog: Way Of The Samurai movie with Forest Whitaker? I watched that the other night and that is definitly one hell of a movie.

That would be it... time well spent.
