    Springing off of Hooker's movie review thread, I thought I would post this thread up to get your input on some of your favorite movies of all-time. I'm on break from school right now up until Jan. 18th and I don't have anything to do during the day but watch movies. I'm starting to run out of ideas of what to watch :(. Hopefully I'll get some good ideas from all of ya.

    I'm open to all kinds of movies really. I like action, comedy, Drama, Thriller/Horror, Suspense, some Sci-fi.

    Just to give you an idea, some of my favorites are American History X, Almost Famous, Harry Potter series, Blow, A Beautiful Mind, Men of Honor, Behind Enemy Lines, LOTR series, Gladiator etc. I'm pretty diverse in what I like, and I'll usually give anything a chance so long as it doesn't bore me to death in the first half-an-hour or so.
