Highly underrated movie.

 

[Dawgzilla2]

Fargo
Star Wars....just the original, without any additional storyline
The Godfather...can throw in Part Two.
Pulp Fiction
Young Frankenstein

Rear Window is my favorite movie ever, but it came out before I was born. I dont know how many times I've seen it. Its on Netflix right now if anyone hasn't seen it.

 

[Dawgbite]

Talledega Nights.

 

[She Mate Me]

In no particular order:

Casablanca
Tombstone
Pulp Fiction
Caddyshack
Die Hard

I could make a list out of any of the lists already here, great choices.

But Riva reminds me here of the greatness of Casablanca.

If you've never seen it because you don't like old movies or B&W movies or just because, do yourself a favor. Set aside less than 2 hours and sit down and really watch it. It's a masterpiece and in my mind the greatest movie of all time.

 

[T-TownDawgg]

Can’t believe this hasn’t made the list yet:

Batman

Michael Keaton
Jack Nicholson
Kim Bassinger

Prince on the soundtrack. Gotta be in that top 5.

 

[msstatelp1]

Forest Gump
Tombstone
Last of the Mohicans
Saving Private Ryan
Shawshank Redemption

I really need a sixth. Smokey and the Bandit gotta be on the list somewhere.

The Orpheum in Memphis occasionally does a summer movie series had Casablanca as one of their movies a few years back. See it on the movie screen if you get a chance.

They also had Rocky Horror Picture Show. Brought back lots of memories.

 

[MSUDOG24]

A lot good ones here I'd certainly stop and watch if I happen to come across them but the only 2 movies I've ever actually purchased to do so when the mood hit -
Animal House
A Few Good Men

Twist to the thread, movie(s) everyone has seemingly seen but you? I have several but Star Wars is probably the biggest. All these years and for no articular reason have honestly never watched a minute.

 

[kired]

Pulp Fiction
Dazed & Confused
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Tremors

For #5 I’d have to go with a series like MI or Bourne

Yes, I grew up in the 80s/90s
