Ya know... I don't think I have any favorites. :saywhat: There's several that I'd watch again given the chance, but none really stick out in my mind.

Death Race 2000? I dunno... Maybe Toy Story, or maybe The Song Remains the Same. Christy, I Love You was good, too.

I'd like to add one to my list:

The Lion King

All other Disney movies pale in comparison. I like the soundtrack, too.

And, JoeBob, Kentucky Fried Movie is a classic, indeed - that I also forgot.

Can't really come up with a list right now, but one of my favs is "A Boy and His Dog". Anybody else seen it? It may well have been Don Johnson's first big gig. Kind of a cross between "Benji" and "Road Warriors". A futuristic, post nuclear war flick about a teenager and his telepathic dog, with a surprise ending.

The Usual Suspects
Heat
Bourne Identity

On the musical side:
Heavy Metal
Pink Floyd The Wall

I'm sure I could make a longer list, but these jump to the front right off the bat.

For those of you who are fans of Spinal Tap/Waiting for Guffman/Best in Show, Christopher Guest has just released his latest Mockumentary - A Mighty Wind. It looks like it'll be every bit as hilarious as his others!!!!!! http://amightywindonline.warnerbros.com/index.php
