    Yes, there's many interesting movies. My taste always returns to 'Gone With The Wind.'

    The movie reminds of the struggles in life that we all go through and how we handle the crisis. It also reminds me of how some people can love others but this love is isn't reciprocated in some relationships.

    I think my faves are (in no particular order)

    Leon - Jean Reno & Natalie Portman were excellent in this

    Once Upon a Time In China - The best Jet Li film IMO & arguably the best martial arts film ever

    Annie Hall - The film where Woody got his angsty, relationship schtick right

    Dumb & Dumber - Just damn funny

    The Little Mermaid - Return to form for Disney after a lot of mediocre films. Virtually every Disney film has copied the style afterwards (I also fancied Ariel when I was 13 )

    Beautiful Girls - Great ensemble cast and I'm kinda at that age when the themes are relevant.

    Heat - Pacino & De Niro, nuff said

    Love & Death - Wheat... lots of wheat... fields of wheat... a tremendous amount of wheat...

    Akira - I want Kaneda's bike

    Memento - Clever film

    Blade Runner - Mainly for the visual style of the film

    Oh also Life Of Brian & Holy Grail, A Night At The Opera, Duck Soup & A Day At The Races

    I put off seeing that film for ages cos I didn't think I would enjoy it. Wow, it was great though! Watched it twice in succession.

    You have excellent taste y'know. I don't think John Candy ever made a bad film. I love Planes, Trains & Automobiles too.

    I knew this one would come up. How could any woman have this one on thier list of favs? I mean it is about a street hooker. Would you want your daughter to have this fantasy of being a hooker then finding prince charming? I never could figuer out why women love this movie.

    Heatmiser of the "clueless" class

    A Band Aparte- Band of Outsiders

    Gone With The Wind

    Vertigo

    Peeping Tom

    Wedding Singer

    Good Love Story, but not technically an amazing film is- The Notebook

    And pretty much anything in the Criterion Collection

    I'm a movie lover, so I could just keep going on and on if I don't stop somewhere.
