Lots more I can't think of offhand, or remember the titles, anyway. They're all good movies, and unique, not cookie cutter crap. Or, at least cheezy enough to know it if they are. I've got to comment on S-D's choice of Seventh Seal, though. I had to watch that in class, and a more depressingly boring movie probably can't be made. A completely incomprehensible movie is 8 1/2.

American History X
Dumb and Dumber
American Pie 2
American Beauty
Happy Gilmore

I think it is very difficult to pick one favourite movie..
Shawshank Redemption
A Christamas Story (I think thats the name, its from the early 80s)
Terminator
Behind Enemy Lines
Fight Club

Let's talk about SAX
Without further ado, here they are:
A Beautiful Mind and Good Will Hunting because I like movies about math geniuses
Forrest Gump and Mr. Holland's Opus because I really like how they trace a man's life through several decades.
I can somewhat understand why someone wouldn't like The Seventh Seal. It's not a movie for everybody, but I wouldn't call it a bad movie. It had great acting and cinematography. The plot was really deep, too, which is why you and I have been made to watch it in school. I actually liked it. It would've been better if it didn't have white subtitles. I couldn't read them half the time

I liked Seventh Seal, that was actually a really good movie. Watch it in school, though? Seems like an odd movie to show in school...
Super Hornio Brothers on the other hand, that's a school movie
Apocalypse Now is most certainly my favorite movie. I love that movie.
