One of my favorite comedies! An endless happening of comic events to two great comic actors. The first time I saw it, the end blew me away and made me cry! I didn't see it coming. So, like the cliches, I laughed and cried...

My favorite comedy I think. Mel Brooks rules! There're even a couple outtakes that are so funny, they should've been in the movie. If you haven't seen it, get off the computer and for God's sake watch it!

Yes I know it's an Elvis movie, but this is one of the best "brain candy" movies ever made. An hour & a half in Hawaii on location, with Elvis and a bunch of hot girls & some decent songs. Perfect when you're bummed or snowed in!

One of the best bio movies ever made. The actors look like who they're portraying, and the event recreations are pretty accurate. Kingsley is incredible as Gandhi. Pretty much how it happened in real life.

The greatest musical ever made, with great dancing and great humor. Gene Kelly is at his best, and so is Donald O'Connor. Cyd Charisse is hot in this one.A musical for those who don't like musicals, it's about silent movies giving way to sound.

I've heard the dvd version isn't as complete as the vhs version, but I love this movie. Very inspiring, even if you're not Indian, or at the very least a runner. I'm not Indian, but I do run and I like the running scenes to get me off the couch. The acting is good, and the races are realistic. An inspiring true story about Billy Mills, Native American Olympian.

One of my favorite westerns, along with Outlaw Josie Wales with Clint Eastwood. This a mountain man story with Robert Redford. Pretty accurate, and interesting to watch. Great scenery.

I love the first one, American Graffiti. Great actors, great cars, great music, and the Wolf Man! I've lost track on how many times I've seen this. Put it in, and turn up the volume!

My favorite western, and one of my favorite Clint movies. Great lines, great action, great scenery.
Good Will Hunting (Miramax Collector's Series)Good Will Hunting (Miramax Collector's Series)

Great movie with an inspiring message. And to think it was made in recent times too! Great scenes, great acting. One of the few good movies amidst the crap put out recently by Hollywood.

My favorite Kate Hepburn movie. Very fun! This was when Cary Grant was funny and not as stoic and boring. A nice piece of brain candy.
Being John MalkovichBeing John Malkovich
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $5.71
One of the most creative movies I've ever seen. Great idea, great acting, and anything with John Malkovich is worthwhile.

William H. Macy. Need I say more? An inspiring movie about a real salesman who didn't let his problems keep him from living life on his terms.

Good philosophical movie. A Buddhist tale of a monk who finds his temporary undoing in society, and returns to his master on the lake, but is it too late?
