Recent Comedy:
Hitch - don't miss the dance scene at the end. So funny!!
Wedding Crashers
Something's Gotta Give

Still funny after all these years:
Blast From the Past - Sissy Spacek and Christopher Walken
My Cousin Vinny - Whatever happened to Marisa Tomei? She's fabulous in this.
Mrs. Doubtfire - Williams was so funny
Charlie's Angels 1 & 2 - I don't know why I like these movies, they just make me laugh
Groundhog Day
Moonstruck - great cast. Cher missed her calling as a singer
Working Girls


Drama, sci-fi, & epic stories
Million Dollar Baby
Erin Brokovich
Shawshank Redemption - my favorite, still
Goodfellas - good story and great music
Pulp Fiction
Fargo - is this comedy or drama??
Se7en (Really, anything Morgan Freeman is in)
Aliens (or maybe I just like the chin-up scene...)
The Italian Job
The Abyss
Walk the Line
Oceans 11
Minority Report - if you can stand Tom Cruise
The Firm - ditto on Tom Cruise, but the rest of the cast is good
Pearl Harbor - clearly a "guilty pleasure" thing on my part
Dances with Wolves - I still watch this once in a while, and cry my eyes out.

The Age of Innocence. (I'm an Edith Wharton fan---this story has special meaning to me, and I think the movie really did the book proud).

Agnes Brown.

The Pianist.

Evelyn (I think that's what it's called --- Pierce Brosnan is in it, and it's set in Ireland).

Meet the Parents.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High---one reason: Jeff Spigoli (Sean Penn)--awwwwlright! Takes me back to the day, as does "Valley Girl," "Pretty in Pink," etc.

The Age of Innocence.

Oh yeah, I like that one, too.

[Deanna]

Not in any particular order, and I'll probably come back with more suggestions:

• Anything with Edward Norton in it ,except "Everyone Says I Love You" - he's not in it enough and it's a corny, Woody Allen musical (nothing against Woody Allen, I just don't think musicals are his forte)
• Boondock Saints
• Dogtown & Z-Boys - okay, I skated for a while, but even without that in my past, this is a great documentary with some awesome pre-Tony Hawk skateboard footage
• Dogma (actually, most Kevin Smith movies, pre-Jersey Girl)
• Ghost World
• The Usual Suspects
• Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas - the real Hunter makes a cameo!
• Orange County
• Repo Man
• Dr. Strangelove
• Bad Santa (also by the director of Ghost World)
• Being John Malkovich - just when you think it can't get weirder, it will

[spazzdog]

Us dogs like:

• Chariots of Fire
• Dave
• American History X (though really tough to watch)

"Millions"

[Duck on Wheels]

Lots of my favorites already listed. A few I would add, though some might not be readily available:

The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!
Time Bandits
The Stone Years
Schindler's List

Oh, and why can't I remember the title about the Irish girl expecting a baby out of wedlock. Was it The Nipper? The same director also did one about that same family trying to run a fish-and-chip wagon. And he did The Commitments. Anyway, any of his. They're all great!
