    This might be one of the worst best movies ever made.

    while it's not quite in my top-10; it's still a great movie and very under-rated.

    Comedy- Clerks
    Sports- Slap Shot
    Action- original Terminator
    Drama- Saving Private Ryan
    Thriller- North by Northwest

    to me, the most telling feature of a movie is how it stands up to modern society/amenities. Namely cell phones. (Period-specific does not apply.) Clerks and Slap Shot both stand up. (Neither would have their plots significantly affected if the characters had cell phones.) The rest are period flicks.

    The fact you had to deny it is a little concerning.:dan:

    I am really going to date myself here but I grew up out in the country did not have cable. You could rent a VCR from the video store if you did not have one, this was early 80's. I still remember the first time I rented a VCR on a friday night. I rented Eddie Murphy Delerious and Richard Prior live on the sun set strip. The theater in town only had 1 screen so you had to wait for the movie you wanted to see.

    Most of the ones that are already listed I would say make my list. It would be hard to narrow down the top one. My dad was a otr truck driver growing up so we literally have hundreds if not thousands on VHS, still, from back when that was a thing and I could list most of them.

    Couple haven't seen listed,
    Cowboys
    McClintock
    Magnificent 7 (original)
    Down periscope
    The edge
    300
    Sniper
    Heartbreak ridge
    Platoon
    Uncle buck
    Christmas vacation

    Good really go on and on ha.

    Oh man, I love movies and I have a crap load of good ones that are my favorites...many of which you guys already listed.

    Obvious additions:
    Star Wars
    Indiana Jones (first three)
    Dozens of old westerns, John Wayne, Audie Murphy some of my favorite western actors
    The Big Country

    Here's one of my favorites that I never get tired of, dunno why exactly....something about revenge being a dish best served cold I guess, lol.

    I know I'll take some heat for this but having two daughters it was essential that they both see and enjoy the Princess Bride.
