Am I going to be the only one who's going to say that every time it's on, no matter what I'm doing, I'm going to stop and watch Happy Gilmore? I couldn't work out the last time I was at the gym b/c they had it on, and I couldn't concentrate during the mini-golf scene...

Serious movies tho;
maybe it's b/c i'm getting older (entering middle-aged?) and the themes resonate with me, but American Beauty and Fight Club hit kinda close to home for me.

For foreign movies:
To Live made me feel like, we have it so good living here/now vs. in post-WW2 China...
Monsoon Wedding and Bend It like Beckham, like many Indian films, had really like, feel-good vibes about family in them.

If the special-efx were updated...
Jaws is really dated, but its made with so much skill, just about every monster/scare-type movie since is at least partially derivative from it.

I remember watching Pulp Fiction and Momento from scene to scene not knowing wtf was going to happen next. That was awesome...

And, Frailty scared the living sh!t out of me...

Matchstick Men needs to be in here somewhere too...

Strange, I don't think I saw Cool Hand Luke or The Sting on anyone's list... maybe I just missed it. Same for The Last of the Mohicans. Those'd be my three, along with American Beauty.
