No way I could narrow this down to 10. It would be more like about 60. But, in the spirit of things I'll just name the first 10 that spring into mind as I try to think of movies I really like. This is not in any particular order after the first one.

1. The Professional
2. Kentucky Fried Movie
3. The Sting
4. Forrest Gump
5. Fast Times at Ridgemont High
6. Caddyshack
7. Animal House
8. There's Something About Mary (watching it on Cinemax West as I type)
9. Stripes
10. Stranger Than Fiction

That's like 53 more that I would watch any time I see them in my DirecTV guide.

And that's barely scratching the surface. And I already am thinking of more.

 

We had this writer once, you would tell him to write 10 inches and he'd come in at 60.

 

I was in high school, too, and what a great memory it was going with some high school buddies to see the double feature of KFM and The Groove Tube.

 

Actually, Dan, I think I came in at 63 there. And like I said, I'm already thinking of more. But you do have to admit I did post a list of 10 first, so the trim should be easy.

 

Damn, now I need to find a spot for the South Park movie ..

 

1. The Big Lebowski
2. Caddyshack
3. Slap Shot
4. Waiting for Guffman
5. Big Fish
6. Bull Durham
7. Wayne's World
8. Almost Famous
9. The Apartment
10. Casablanca

 

Sure you weren't looking for the List Every Movie You Think is Fun to Watch thread? : : :

 

No, I was simply saying that 10 was too few, then proved my point by listing a bunch without even trying. I stated what I was doing and listed 10, then listed others that certainly would get consideration if I really had to take the hours of decision-making to really cut the list to 10. Does that make me a bad person?

 

Love Actually
Dead Poets Society
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Slap Shot
Bull Durham
Clueless
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
Office Space
The Big Chill
The Breakfast Club

 

You only wish the trim were easy. [/13yearoldinme]

Anyhoo, KFM came out when I was in junior high. ZAZ even carried over a couple of the jokes from that to Airplane. A Fistful of Yen makes me laugh hard just thinking about it.

And Sam, I thought I'd be the only one with Dead Pool. Dirty Harry's sidekick kicked ass.
