    Uh, and The Fisher King - also a great movie.

    THE FISHER KING is highly devalued and critically panned. I actually wanted to buy the reduced-price script book once and the clerk said, "No one wants this crap. Just take it." I was insulted and enthralled at the same time. Ha. I took it. I cannot make it thought the scene when Williams says, "I really miss her. Is that OK, Jack?" without shattering emotionally.

    Moonstruck
    Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
    Kung Fu Hustle
    True Romance
    and yes to -
    Bladerunner - hottest kiss scene in movie history.
    Princess Bride - amazing.

    TRUE ROMANCE is one of my all time faves as it truly captures the sensibility of the era it reflected. Plus it is a killer romance story, truer than any romantic comedy and just the right balance of depravity and sincerity.

    -Pulp fiction
    -Cry Baby
    -Oh brother where art thou?
    -The Royal Tenenbaums (I don't know anyone that's seen it lol)
    -LOTR & hobbit movies
    -Any movie that has jason stathem or johnny depp
    Are on the top of my list of movies I've seen 10+ times

    Royal Tennanbaums interested me but lacked the resonance of RUSHMORE. THAT film blew me away

    I honestly think that Moonrise Kingdom is my fave Wes Anderson.

    I also love Paris Je T'aime, Bullets Over Broadway (most Woody Allen, actually) and Whit Stillman movies.

    Except, (call me crazy) in the original script, Clarence dies. I would have liked it better that way.

    Welcome to the Dollhouse.

    I LOVE the awkwardness of the film. It reminds me of Paul Feig's writing.

    I will! And if you're an 80's guy, you must read "Ready Player One" - you'll like it.

    Too many.
    Top five, maybe:

    Leon
    Drive
    O Brother, Where art thou?
    The Royal Tenenbaums
    Shame

    Depending on what day it is, there's about 20 more that could be interchangeable with a few on this list.

    I'm a huge movie fanatic so let's stay with the 5 that spring to mind first.

    Sweeney Todd (Tim Burton's version)
    The dark knight trilogy.
    Up (although we're always in tears the first 20 minutes in :D)
    A nightmare before christmas.
    Everything from Disney! Especially the lion king, can't keep track how much I watched that one.

    Back to the Future, without question. I've seen it enough times that I could probably recite it word-by-word from memory...
