yalls favorite movies?

[clockworks]

ok, so here's the deal. i've mastered the art of ripping dvd's to divx, wrote
a nifty little program to automate the whole task, figured out how to get a
good picture on my tv output from my computer, bought a spindle of blank
cd's, and bought a nice 128 capacity cd binder. now i want 128 movies to
fill that binder...=P oh yeah, and i can get free movie rentals at hollywood
video...=)

now i want each of yall to name your 2 favorite movies that you own (on
dvd...=) and 3 movies that you would like to own...so thats 5 movies total.

see, if i thought of 128 movies myself, they would all be action,
schwarzenegger, kung fu crap movies that no one would wanna watch. i need
yalls input so i get a move diverse movie library...=)

two that i owe: true lies, casino
three that i want: black hawk down, meet the parents, iron monkey

so not only can yall help me out, but we can start a thread about everyone's favorite movies...=)

thanks,

[Strut99GT]

C - I sent you an e-mail this morning with the movies, but an hour or so ago I got one of those messages from my server saying "could not be delivered." So, is something wrong with your e-mail? not to mention I tried calling your cell phone yesterday and got a " not in service" notice. What the hell?

Mr. Deeds was funny as hell. Especially "Crazy Eyes". His laimest is "Little Nicky". You underestimated the sneakeness!
