Die Hard; Blazing Saddles; Schindler’s List; The Great Escape; Dances with Wolves. And I think Eastern Promises had a second and a third on the original thread. I’m thinking Shennanigans are in order. And it’s also probably too big of a task with too many conflicting preferences to work out well in the end.

Children of Men probably deserves a nod. and something by Roger Corman or Jack Hill.

and shouldn’t Vertigo be on the list by now? i’m pretty sure there were enough votes for it…

I had Princess Bride on my original list. I love that movie and own the DVD.

back when I got my wisdom teeth taken out The Neverending Story was playing in the recovery room at the doctors office, and I started simultaneously laughing and crying uncontrollably at how much I loved everything that was happening on screen. The fact that I was on a payload of surgery drugs and couldn’t even walk out of the office on my own doesn’t lessen the fact that the movie is just pure fucking fantastic.

When I suggested ‘Equilibrium’ I didn’t really check the rest of the list, assuming that ‘ The Princess Bride’ was there…I mean…its probably the second most quoted movie ever other than Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail.

No Princess Pride ? ….prepare to die.

Atreyu from The Neverending Story is also crying some tears in his flying dog’s fur.
