Ok everyone gatorgirl88 wants us to compile a list of classic movies that she should see.

I'll start with one that I know Russ will agree with and say Tombstone.

there's only 2 things i don't do...scary/horror and lots of blood and guts..other than that ill watch anything.

Animal House for pure fluff and Powder for something that will make you think.

boondock saints
shawshank redemption
the usual suspects
full metal jacket
reservoir dogs
shindlers list
good morning, vietnam
the dead poets society

The Big Labowski and Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas are great for college age.

Classics: I don't know, but there are definetely some good ones. Oh, and I liked Tombstone and Wyatt Earp, but I don't know if those are classics, or if they are "chick-quality."

For Lucky # 7's, those are all good, but I say: full metal jackets the classic that's the best.

Oh and the Vietnam movies: FOREST GUMP (must), Appocolypse Now, Deer Hunter (may not like though), and the other one with Charlie Sheen.

Is that enough?

Very nice Spikes, and that's the point we're trying to get her away from the "chick-quality" ones.

hey now...i dont watch all chick flicks. of course i love them, but i also love action movies as long as theres not a lot of blood. but yes i am trying to broaden my movie viewing.

I know all the boys will handle all the war/mafia/action movies, so I'll go a different route:

Young Frankenstein
Blazing Saddles
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Goonies
Animal House
Blues Brothers
Caddyshack

I think the one Spikes was thinking of with Charlie Sheen is Platoon.

Yes it was Platoon. What are you doing up Casey? You need to be sleeping/studying

I need to add CadeyShack to my list. Also There's Something About Mary (must see), Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber, Terminator 2, and The Never Ending Story. She has probably seen some of these, but oh well.

Shawn of the Dead
Super Troopers
Super bad
The Heartbreak Kid
Apocolypto
Cast Away
Cloverfield
Grease
Anger Management
I Am Legend
Juno
Kung Fu Panda
Meet the Parents/Meet the Fockers
Gone Baby Gone
My Cousin Vinney
National Treasure I and II
No Country for Old Men
Rush Hour I and II
World Trade Center
Pirates of the Carribean I,II,III
American Gangster(most recent one with Denzel)
Training Day
Saving Private Ryan
Rendition
Gladiator
Jason Bourne Movies(any of the 3)
Shooter(with Mark Wahlberg)
School of Rock
The 40 Year Old Virgin
The Bucket List
As Good as it Gets
The Pursuit of Happyness
The Da Vinci Code
Catch Me If You Can
The Patriot(Mel Gibson)
The Green Mile
Black Hawk Down
The Last Samurai
Mission Impossible Series
Lord of the Rings Series



The Following Movies with Camilla Belle:
The Quiet
10,000 B.C.
The Chumscrubber
The Ballad of Jack and Rose

A lot of good stuff here. I'd add "The Right Stuff". I grew up in Merritt Island during the Gemini and Apollo programs, so I'm probably biased.

Also, I'd add "Lars and the Real Girl". It's new, but it's quirky and I think she'd have fun with it.

Cheers,

The Godfather & The Godfather II. These need to be at the top of the list.

p.s. Lucky....how could you leave these off your list???

Anybody say

Goodfellas
Spaceballs
Star Wars IV-VI (you can skip the prequels... it's better that way)
Rocky 1,2,4 and 6 (the others are optional)
Clerks
Chasing Amy (if you like those two, dip further into Kevin Smith with Dogma)
Back to The Future 1-3
Indiana Jones 1-4
Braveheart
First Blood

Goodfellas
Pulp Fiction
Heat
Office Space
Raising Arizona
The Majestic
Godfathers I and II
Urban Cowboy
Cocktail
Sin City

I can't believe it took this long for someone to say that movie. I loved that one.

And better yet, "Waiting" be prepared to be grossed out though

My personal favorite...

Fight Club.

Not so much about fighting though, its pretty deep.
