    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.

    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),
