Usual Suspects
Red Dawn

Star Trek II
Raiders of the Lost Ark

 

Voltric, are you talking about the 90 minute cheeser version of Ivanhoe, or the 5 hour A&E movie? I have the A&E movie (and you wouldn't believe how much they charged for it!). One of the best movies ever made.

Other favorites:
Dark City - very surrealistic graphics

Phantasm (just the first two, it got lame after that) - The Tall Man will never die!

Nightmare on Elm Street 1 - the only good one despite what, 8 sequels?

pretty much anything Monty Python

the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - I can't understand why this didn't win any academy awards . BTW, does anyone know where I can get the second tv series? Please? <pathetic grovelling>

Live at Pompeii - watch Pink Floyd's Drummer order breakfast! ok, not really a movie, but cool nonetheless

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - Sean Connery was brilliant as Indy's dad.

Beastmaster 1 - whatever you want to say about the acting, you have to admit the bad guys were the coolest! I loved those bird-type things that dissolved people, and the berserkers that go nuts when you put a radioactive slug in their ear (well, who wouldn't?)

Kiss meets the phantom in the park - found it on ebay! One of the (unintentionally) funniest movies ever made! It looks like they drew the special effects on the film wih a magic marker. Watch Kiss battle their evil clones!

Superfuzz - a hilarious cheesy 70's movie. Not sure if it was intended to be funny, but hey, it works for me. I laughed until I cried.

There's more, but most are already on a list above...

Mithrilhammer you BEAST!

Dragonheart IS a good movie! Yuuussss!
'sides that;
When Saturday Comes
Gone in 60 Seconds
Robin Hood: POT
Robin Hood: MIT
Enemy of the State
Executive Decision (minus ending
Guesthouse Paradiso
Matrix
Lethal Weapon 4
Independance Day (Good then,bad now)
Forrest Gimp, er, GUMP
Face Off

Dragonheart was a bunch of crap. Sean Connery can't seem to quite keep his dentures in place when he talks and spouts a lot of crap. Not that I totaly dislike him. He was the best Bond. The worst being that chimp George Lazenby, totaly un-Bondlike. Other good stuff includes The Matrix, The Star Wars movies (except the most recent awful one), anything done by Monty Python, anything with Leslie Neilson. A Bridge Too Far and The Longest Day were both great war movies. The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy was good too, but they should have done more than just the first two books. Gotta love that Slartybarfast, he designed Norway you know. To conclude, all the Lethal Weapons movies suck.

It's hard to see how your taste can be so good and so bad at the sametime. Yes Dragonheart was junk, but Sean is a great actor. He did great work in the Bond movies, The Rock, IJ III the last crusade. I agree that A Bridge Too Far and The Longest Day are both great. But the first Lethal weapon is a great movie. I agree it goes down hill afer that, but the first one was a real good movie.

 

(Sigh, I'll say it another time...)

DRAGONHEART IS NOT JUNK!!

DAMMIT!

 

I agree with hooligan.

Besides Dragonheart (which is a great movie),

Matrix
Enemy of the State
Star Wars 4 and 5 (1 wasn't all that great, and I hate Ewoks)
Terminator 1 and 2
Predator
Down Periscope
Saving Private Ryan
Lethal Weapon

There are plenty more that aren't live action, like Transformers the Movie, Ghost in the Shell, Macross.

 

Ok i'll give it a go...

1) Star Wars (IV,V,VI,I)
2) Blade
3) Any thing to do with TH or LOTR
4) The Matrix
5) The Alien series
6) Analyze This
7) Ghost busters (I&II)
8) Princess Bride
9) Willow
10)Mortal Kombat (no. I only)
11)Transformers
12)Big trouble in little China
13)The Mummy
14)Excaliber
15)Shaekspere in love

 

Ghost Busters I was one of the best movie ever made but GB2 made me want to crawl out of the theater. It was real bad. I forget about princess bride & Big Trouble in little China. They were both great films. But Mortal Kombat... What a waste of film.
On another note Macrose was the best Japanimation I have ever seen. Let me rephrase that it was the best storyline I've never seen. I think some others have better artwork.

Sylvus: LOL, you are a true man! The Lion King was one of my favorite movies. I'm not afraid to admit it.

I like so many movies I don't even know where to start; and, I know I'll leave many out on accident so I'll just say that I agree with most of the movies already mentioned above.
