"Millions"
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!
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
The Usual Suspects
The Eight Day - an incredibly sweet, moving French flick - a must see.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Anything with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks
Fargo
Breaking Away (come on!)
Casablanca
Schindler's List
ET
West Side Story
Amelie
Lessee, hope I won't repeat anything already posted. I don't know that these are my *favorites* (so hard to pick favorites) but they're good, and I'll try to pick a few lesser known ones
Avalon
Shawshank Redemption
Contact
Green Mile
Gattaca
Better Off Dead (funny, campy 80s flick)
The Sixth Sense
12 Monkeys
The Bone Collector
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story
Another suggestion...catch TV shows you've never seen. I do NetFlix, and that accounts for alot of my rentals. I catch a lot of great HBO shows, since I don't have HBO (Sex and the City, Six Feet Under---great show, probably had the best finale of any TV show EVER, and currently getting into Sopranos) and just other shows I missed. It's a great time saver to watch DVDs and save yourself commercials. You're also very tuned into the plot because you can get a month's worth of episodes on one disc in a few hours (or workouts, if you're watching from your trainer),
Right..here's more
"adventure of Priscilla, queen of the desert"-(i hate the fact that hollywood decided to rip it off later on with too wong foo...*****)
