So many..
Bladerunner - The scene where Roy Batty kills his creator / god. "I want more life. Fucker." Not shouting, just speaking. I can hear the skull cracking now. Brr...

Shawshank *edit* Redemption - Still chokes me up at the end. A movie that can give you hope for yourself if you are feeling like a sad loser.

Ferris Bullers Day Off - A great 80s teen movie. What better fantasy for a child stuck in a classroom.

Bettlejuice - Still enjoy watching it.

Sleepy Hollow – Just great OTT fun. Crane is such a total wuss.

Once upon a time in the West – I think I like the scale it portrayed the most. And the fact it was a long slow movie. Plus Charles Bronson is actually good in it.

Dune – Yes, the books are far better but I still loved the movie. Baron Harkonnen is such a barking sadist. Another enjoyable OTT character.

Godfather 1 and 2 – A mans descent from (relative) innocence to evil itself by the conclusion of the story. 3rd film? What 3rd film?

Das Boot – I really am hoping they survive after a few minutes. The moment when they get the crippled sub off the bottom is awesome.

I feel another post coming on after more time to think.

*edit*

And "Withnail and I" of course. How could I forget!

At the spelling of "Shawshank".

Sorry *points to name*

Das Boot
You know, Wolfgang Peterson is awesome in the way he takes the ordinary German soldier or navy man of the WWII and makes them so likeable. You know?

how can you NOT like Thomson when he starts going OFF on HItler when he is hammered in that bar and then realizes "Um, oh shit, I better switch gears, the crowd is getting ugly" and then starts to pick on CHurchill! I think it's the perfect microcosm of the war: he changes his tack because of peer pressure. And FEAR pressure.

Brilliant stuff!
