Tombstone...
I like all the movies you guys listed above... But, I wanted to add a couple of foreign films that you guys should also check out...
Le Pacte des Loups (Brotherhood of the Wolf) - French action movie set in 1700s about a detective and a native American who travel the French country side hunting a werewolf. Awesome fight scenes, shooting, werewolves, rape, incest, and Monica Bellucci plays a prostitute and had some super sexy nudy scenes... It's a great guy film.

A Very Long Engagement: need to watch a movie with your wife or girlfriend? Suggesting this one will impress her, and you'll enjoy it too... It's a love story based in France during WW1. Awesome battle scenes showing horrific trench warfare, biplanes, machine guns mowing down waves of French guys, etc. Beautiful young girl falls in love. Guy gets drafted. Girl gets letter that he's been killed. She refuses to give up and searches for him with help of a private investigator... Damn good movie.

Raise the Red Lantern: Chinese movie based in 1920 China. Rich dude has a palace with a wife and 7 or 8 concubines. Each woman has her own little apartment in the compound. The women pretend to be friends but actually hate each other. Every night, the rich guy picks which woman he's going to sleep with, and the house servants raise a red lantern outside her door, feed her the best food, wash her, massage her ahead of time. Of course, each woman wants to be chosen so that they will get the good food and pampering... The women start mistreating each other and scheming to gain the rich guy's affection. Things get bad quick... Murder, hate, abuse, etc... It's a damn good drama...

I'll try to think of more and reply later if y'all are interested...
Jeremiah Johnson ... Robert Redford
That makes me a loser too! Dang good movie...Ha! I am such a loser that I have the Brotherhood of the Wolf DVD somewhere around here.
What movie is this?
Never heard of it... When I saw the pic, earlier in this thread, I thought, "Why in the hell is Clint Eastwood wearing snow shoes?"

What're you talking about, it has the best fight scene of all time in it!I do not think I have a favorite. Every time I think I do, I come up with at least 5 others. Almost all of these already mentioned are on my list. Except "Undefeatable." @pinkbunny , that film is horrible (but in that early-90s, campy kinda way) lol....

I appreciate that you think enough of me to assume that I read books... Hahaha!Find the book "Crow Killer" for the basis for the movie.
I wish I could say the book has pictures.I appreciate that you think enough of me to assume that I read books... Hahaha!
Too many to have to choose.
Heat
The Fugitive
The Sting
Seven
The Deer Hunter
A Clockwork Orange
Fletch
Deliverance
The French Connection
Many that are already listed. 95% of Clint and many of Peter Sellers.
I'm with Booger in that I have no favorite movie simply because I like a bunch. But how about this
I have never seen:
The God Father
Gone with the wind
Lord of the ring
Any John Wayne movie
And for the life of me I don't understand why people love The outlaw josey wells.
Outlaw Josey Wales is a good movie, but the story of the guy that wrote it is almost as good. Really odd guy, goes from a KKK member to believing in the Rousseauean 'noble savage', thinking that Indians are the epitome of moral good, and starts telling people he is an Indian. Odd guy.Can’t speak for anyone else, but for me, it’s the tragic hero journey. Josey isn’t a typical “good guy”...but he manages to end up on the right side of righteousness even though he is rough and violent. It’s one of those movies I can watch 10-15 minutes of and have a cool scene without having to wade through 2 hours of movies.
Movies like “Good Will Hunting” and “Shindlers List” are pretty amazing, but they are a commitment. If you don’t see it all 100% from beginning to end at a sitting then they lose their impact.
