    yeh that's awesome.. anybody remember the movie Country? Sam Shepard and Jessica Lang? Based on true events of farmers losing their lands in the late 70's through mid 80s. I remember watching it with my dad, a struggling farmer himself. Great movie for sure. Thanks a lot Jimmy Carter... I love the movie, it kind of paralleled my family and farming..although we hung in there until the late 90s but "progress" took it's toll.

    I will basically say this again...there are too many to list without categorization. But if I had to pick 3 regardless of that in no order.

    Braveheart.
    John Wick
    Sand Lot.

    Others that just boggle the mind
    Inception
    Blade Runner
    All of the Lord of the rings/Hobbit

    Classics

    Any Montey Python
    Army of Darkness
    Red Dawn
    All of Tom Clancy movie adaptation

    Also rans in comedy
    All national lampoon including Van Wilder and pretty much anything Chevy Chase
    Anything Simon Pegg.

    Looking forward to
    Terminal List, series on Amazon and Jack Ryan.

    There's more depending on mood.

    I also should say that I don't constantly watch movies but I'm a huge fan that has a useless talent of a semi photographic memory for movie lines. Obviously not a brag.

    It is strange. But there are so many spell binding scenes. Some actually apply to current events.

    This one and the scene with the other sherif about its not the one thing...crazy good.

    13 Hours (The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi) and Red Dawn are two movies I can watch at the drop of a hat. Happy Gilmore is also high on the list.

    Yep. See! This is why I can't come up with a list. The hard part about watching that one is numbering the time I will cry. Not if.

    3's impossible, just can't do it.

    The question you have to ask is, if there were only 3 channels and each one played the same, yet different movie, what would they be?

    Meaning if you could only watch 3 different movies forever and not tire of them what would they be?

    Mine would be, in no particular order:

    Pulp Fiction

    Sling Blade

    Goodfellas

    Sadly, I could easily change to another 3 and be just as content. Should be what is your top 50 movies :lol:

    6. Almost any Audey Murphy western
    7. Tombstone
