    My favorite movie is Donnie Darko, but it's probably not in the same league as some of the ones mentioned in this thread.

    The Gods Must be Crazy II. Not sure how many times I watched that one as a kid, I've since seen it again as an adult and it aged well. Not like Wild Hearts Can't be Broken, Calamity Jane, Milo & Otis, 7 Brides for 7 Brothers, or The Rescue (1988) and other childhood favorites which are just embarrassing to watch now. :)

    Holiday Inn is also another one of my favorite movies of all time. Actually, I'll watch anything with Bing Crosby.

    Sadly it's in the save queue on Netflix :(

    I LOVE 7 Brides for 7 Brothers! lol

    Love Donnie Darko! Maybe not a classic in terms of some of these but still a classic in it's own right!

    Oh, I still love it too. I just can't help wondering why I loved it enough to watch it close to 100 times during my preteen years. Parts of it are pretty cheesy! I have 2 brothers and we used to get turns picking a movie to watch each afternoon and we would continually pick the same ones. (Solar power, so tv time was limited) One summer my little brother picked 101 Dalmatians (cartoon) every time it was his choice, every 3rd day for the entire 2 month break. I wasn't nearly as obsessive but you get the idea...

    other movies that influenced me greatly:
    That Darn Cat! (1965)
    The Cat From Outer Space (1979)
    Cheaper by the Dozen (1950)
    Tammy - movies from the 1960's

    Wow! I had all but forgotten about this! That's what I'm talking about, films like this are what I'm talking about!

    The Sunset Limited is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I've yet to meet anyone who has seen it.

    Oh man has it been ages.....


    "Rue the day?" Who talks like that?


    So it's both immoral *and* unethical?


    So you'll hammer later!

    This is my favorite movie. I watch it...probably at least once a quarter. It is why I know the lyrics, or most of the lyrics to, Everybody Wants to Rule the World.

    And why I think that lasers are dangerous yet beneficial to the world of cooking.

    And, since you started the quoting!

    Bodie: He said he didn't feel like it. And I said, "You'd better!" And he said, "Or what?" And I said, "Or you're gonna be in trouble." And he said, "Jam it!"
    Professor Hathaway: That's a wonderful story, Bodie. I noticed you've stopped stuttering.
    Bodie: I've been giving myself shock treatments.
    Professor Hathaway: Up the voltage.

    Couple obscure Mamet films:
    1) Oleanna: Only 4 people in the whole movie, but one of them happens to be William H Macy. Two people talking, stepping on the end of each other's sentences for 2 hours. Interesting flick.

    2) American Buffalo. Dennis Franz and Dustin Hoffman. Guys sitting around a pawn shop planning a big heist.

    3) My FAVORITE Mamet movie of all-time is: STATE AND MAIN OUSTANDING cast, great plot. "SO, that happened!" If you haven't seen this, you MUST put it to the top of your list.

    OLD BOY. One of the best movies EVER. It's Korean. Watch the subtitle version ONLY. Can't really tell you much about it because it will ruin it, but it's AMAZE-BALLS. It's got martial arts and *kitten*.

    Also saw a quirky little film recently about a guy who believes(?) he is a superhero. It's called Special, and Michael Rapaport is just perfect in it.

    I liked "Thirst" a Korean movie made in 2008. Subtitled into English. A young priest gets a diseased blood transfusion that turns him into a vampire. Because he is a man of god...he cannot kill...so steals from blood banks for his blood to drink. He falls for this woman...at her request makes her a vampire...but she goes on a wild killing spree, enjoying her power. He realises he must stop her...so he tricks her into going to an isolated place with no cover...and they die together as the morning sun rises.

    I saw that one. It was interesting. I preferred Let the Right One In as far as vampire flicks. Much superior to the American remake.

    A definite cult classic, and one of my favorites. I was so moved, I dreamed about it many times after watching it for the first time.

    Ugh! I loathe Lars von Trier, Dancer In The Dark is his only film I've truly enjoyed. I'm in the middle of watching The Kingdom mini-series now and still need to watch Nymphomaniac I & II. Dogville would be the only other one I haven't seen! I guess I need to do it lol.

    No Melancholia for you?
