    I love the Marx Bros. My dad used to buy movies based on certain themes; he bought every Mel Brooks movie he could find, every Marx Brothers movie he could find, and all of his favorite sports movies.

    One of my favorite scenes wasn't funny, but incredibly cool - I forget which movie it was in, but I think they were on a boat (maybe it was Duck Soup???) and Harpo was playing the harp, then someone was playing the piano. It really highlights how talented those guys were.

    Gotta love em.

    I disagree, Cruise has clout. And I don't think anyone in film has worked with a more impressive lineup of directors than Tom Cruise.

    Steven Speilberg
    Stanley Kubrick
    Martin Scorsese
    Francis Ford Coppola
    Oliver Stone
    John Woo
    Ridley Scott
    Paul Thomas Anderson
    Barry Levinson
    Brian Depalma
    Ron Howard
    Sydney Pollack
    Cameron Crowe
    Rob Reiner
    Neil Jordan

    A few classics that (i think) have not been mentioned:

    The Third Man

    Sunset Blvd.

    Rebecca

    But, if i had to pick just one, it would probably be Casablanca.

    While i love Sergio Leone, The Unforgiven is, to me, the ultimate Western.

    Horror: Night of the Living Dead

    Honorable Mention: Pulp Fiction

    There are just too many...

    Here it was just called The Professional, right? And in Europe just "Leon"?

    I am pretty sure I was not the only one who felt more than a little uneasy with how attractive the 13 year old (or so) Natalie Portman was.

    What are the differences between the U.S. and Euro editions?

    Just saw "Boondock Saints" and loved it; for a serious action-esque film it was funny and it had a plot-- and a good one at that. Boiler Room, Snatch, Goodfellas and Usual Supects are my favorite movies..

    Steve McQueen rocks and the car chase is classic, but don't you think the rest of movie is extremely slow?

    Will, you MUST be kidding. That had to be the worst movie ever put on film! And I'm a Heinlein fan! Doogie Howser as a military ESP guy? NOT.

    Some of my favs:

    Gumball Rally- The Daytona racing the Cobra was priceless
    Ronin - best chase scenes ever
    Alien - in space no one can see you crap your pants
    Monty Python and Holy Grail - "It's just a flesh wound"
    Airplane - "Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"
    The Matrix
