I also really love Raising Arizona. "Son, you got a panty on your head".

Someone said Holy Grail which is a classic! The Black Knight is the best...."Just a flesh wound."

Any movie where Air power saves the day is a good movie IMHO.

The STAR WARS saga is my all time favorite, but I have a few other favorites:
Saving Private Ryan: P-51's end the battle
Transformers: Close air Support doesn't win the fights, but it sure helps.
Memphis Belle: the whole movie takes place in a plane.
Tuskegee airmen: simply badass.
TOP GUN: It's cheezy but it's a great movie.
Flight of the intruder: good story.
Rescue dawn/behind enemy lines: always dress for a flight as if you're gonna walk home!
etc....etc.....

Fighting is a bit predictable (block, kick, block, kick, etc.) but if you watch the movie for what it is, it's unmatched by any imho. A good mix of storytelling, romance, drama, suspense, action and a great cast.

Another one that I really like if you can get past the gore is Inglorious basterds. The cast in the movie is unbelievable.

Yeah, I really liked Brotherhood of the Wolf! I was very glad to have seen it on the big screen too! And yes, the cinematography was both unique and quite wonderful!

One of my all-time favorites! I love the fight scene where Nicolas Cage scrapes his knuckles on the ceiling.

Just a movie full of great lines-
"I don't know what his damn jammies looked like... they had Yodas and sh** on them."

It's pretty simple for me really, I mean I like a lot of good movies, such as the new transformers movies, the new batman movies, gi joe rise of the cobra, etc.

But for me, there's only one movie that's my favorite so far - the Blind Side.

I mean what's better than a movie being based on an extraordinary real life story? Especially Michael Oher's, coming up from nothing... not knowing his father, a drug addict for a mother, he didn't even have anything to eat most of the time.

Yet having been given the chance by the high school he attended to bring his grades back up. To having been taken in by a family full of strangers. And nowadays, he's living his dream. I'll tell you what - that guy's an inspiration.

The only thing that sucks about him in my po is that the ravens acquired him, I would much rather have seen him been picked up my one of my hometown teams, especially the giants since the offensive line needs to be strengthened. But neither the jets nor the giants were really interested in him.
