Kevjay, I probably seen Tombstone 10 times. An epic with historic re-creation. Never get tired of it. Tombstone was on again last night on one of the premium channels. Wyatt was running the horses with Josephine Marcus (Dana Delany) as I was channel surfing. ;D
Kinda like the Western Godfather with Doc Holiday "I'm your Huckleberry", Johnny Ringo, Curly Bill and Ike Clanton. The Wild West was a violent place.  smiley_horserider

The Outlaw Josey Wales, my all time favourite
The Verdict-Paul Newman and Debra Winger
Sleepless in Seattle
When Harry met Sally, the deli scene was classic.

In no particular order:
"Lonesome Dove".......I know, it was a TV movie, but still........; or anything else by Larry McMurtry.
"The Big Country"........Peck, Simmons, Ives, Baker, Heston
One of (depending on my mood) "The Quiet Man".......Wayne, O'Hara; "The Searchers".........Wayne, Hunter;"Rio Grande"........Wayne, O'Hara

[fstedy]

Lord of The Rings
Forrest Gump
Oh Brother Where Art Thou
From The Hip
Shaqwshank Redemption

In no special order. Five picks just isn't enough for great movies.

[Bro. Noble]

Well I apologize for getting carried away,  I guess there are a lot of good movies out there and it's kinda hard to narrow them down to five.  I'll tell you without a doubt my very LEAST favorite one though.  I think it was probably the first movie I ever saw and I think my parents took me to it just to shock me into changing my behavior.  They had just moved from a very rural area to the big city of Springfield Mo.  and I was having a lot of trouble adjusting.  They tried to make me watch this horror film about some little kid whose nose kept growing longer just because he was telling lies and skipping school.  I raised such a racket that they had to remove me from the theater :D :D

[Corley5]

Second Hand Lions
Lord of The Rings Trilogy
Platoon
Patton
The Longest Day

[GHRoberts]

Monsters Inc
Ice Age
March of the Penguins

(These are grandkid magnets.)

[Texas Ranger]

What y'all said, plus "The Search for Red October".

[Fla._Deadheader]

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Kellys Heroes

  Dirty Harry series

[rebocardo]

The Five Doctors - Dr.Who
The Little Drummer Boy
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Miracle on 34th Street
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

[SPIKER]

HUMMM  now some of the movies above were OK for me, I'm more of an action buff.

almost all my top movies would be action and or si-fi and top 5 would be combos.   I'm more of a movie buff and sepperate them into catagories (si-fi, action, hummor, real life adventure, kids ect.  As forthe best it's hard to say.

maybe easier to pick top 3 of each catagory cause simply top 5 would be hard.


combo movies (action, si-fi, funny, realistic.)
ARNOLD with the terminator series  cause " I'll be back"
ALLIEN series, MARS ATTACKS funniest one ever
any starwar episode with WITHOUT jarjar
SPACE BALLS cause well mel brooks is absolutely hallious
Gone in 60 SEC, (Orriginal, as it just rocks new one cage didn't do it justis.)
men in black

now for top 3 in MY fav 3 catagories

FUNNY. = ghost busters, Air plane & mars attacks  ;D
SI-FI = star wars empirer strikes back, Terminator & StarGate 
ACTION = Gone in 60 Sec orriginal, Saving priv. Ryan & Tremmors

(other catagories could be GORE/SPOOKY, KIDS stuff, Animated, Real Life ect.  too many to list I suspose...)
