    I'm interested to see what is on your list of favorite all-time movies. Top 3?

    Here's mine:
    1. A River Runs Through It- Fly fishing, beautiful scenery, and a great story to go along with it.
    2. The Shawshank Redemption- An awesome story dealing with struggles. I love Morgan Freeman in this one.
    3. Gone In 60 Seconds- Because stealing fast cars is every man's fantasy.


    Honorable Mention:
    Tin Cup
    Stand By Me
    Blazing Saddles
    Hoosiers
    Oceans Eleven
    Taken
    Grandma's Boy
    Canadian Bacon


    Whatcha got? :beer:

    Some of other movies I like are Departed, Heat, and Good Fellas.

    A few comedies I like include Dumb & Dumber, Kingpin, and The Big Lewbowski.
