favorite flicks
Many of the movies that I like have been mentioned.
I would like to add:
The Limey
Sliding doors
Memento
and about 25 foreign films that I do not have the time to list.
I do not mean to hijack this thread, but related to this (entertainment) is the BBC Mystery Series on cable. I am a British movie and mystery junky. My wife teaches Spanish, so we see alot of Spanish films, and French films, and Asian films, and .....
btw, my wife is Cuban, and she has some unusual opinions about "The Motorcycle Diaries". Che G. is not one of her favorite people.
Referring to a previous post, how did they get that Jap engine on Lawrenc's bike? (also one of my favorite movies).

When I was at college, the university would rent movies and send them around to the meeting rooms in the dorms. Every week a different movie made the rounds.
Three years running, the flick for the week before Easter was Life of Brian. Someone had a sense of humor....
Good stuff in the posts. Glad to see that someone mentioned Buckaroo Banzai , even if it wound up in the "so bad it's good" list. Definitely one of my all-time faves.
....lots of variation but I didn't see two of my favorites: Scent of a Woman 
and The Full Monty

two thumbs up isn't comfortable
1. "The Party" w peter sellers. hard to find, but the first 5 minutes will make you
laff so hard you'll pee
2. "My Favorite Year" Several great perfs,and some great lines;
''What are those? His drinking socks?" ..but Lani Kazan and Lou Jacobi
are genius
3. "The Iron Giant" a terriffic animated feature that Warner's stupidly tried to bury
4. "The Sting" I'll watch those two guys and Bob Shaw anytime (It
would've been "BC and The SdK", except for the "Raindrops Keep..." number)
5. "Syriana" the gub'mint scares the crap out of me
6. "Waiting For Guffman" too close for comfort
7. "Singin' in the Rain" Best movie musical ever
8. "It's A Wonderful Life" ..."You want the moon, Mary?"
9. "Star Wars" but ONLY the first time I saw it
10. "Alien" I think it's a chick flick. I can't believe she went back for the effing cat!
I don't think even Steve McQueen would've gone back for the cat!
and one for free: "The Babe" w John Goodman... the father of the dying boy for whom the Bambino hits two is brilliant!

Hogaan!
I only scanned what everyone posted; too many for me to read through.
I didn't see "The Usual Suspects" or "Leon" (aka The Professional). Good ones, as well!
