Mine is probably ‘MacGruber’, or ‘L’Aventurra’.

The pacing of that movie is extraordinary. I don't think there's a single wasted frame.

I’m not sure why, but sometimes I feel like this is a real movie. But I’m sure it’s just me, so never mind.

Thomas Crown Affair and Fletch are tied for my favorite.
And after rewatching Goonies many times with my kids it reminds me how awesome of a kids movie (and movie in general) that is.

Raiders of Lost Ark. Mostly because seeing it in the theater was mind blowing and a very fond memory.

I don't have a #1 favorite but loved The Usual Suspects.

Loved, at the time The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

Being There.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Just too many to name a favorite.

I actually have 2 of the movie stills 24x36 (not posters, actual shots from the shoot by the still photographer) from The Unbearable Lightness of Being, given to me by a lady I dated who worked for the production company.

One of mine too. Paul Thomas Anderson has made a lot of great movies but that’s his best, IMO. So funny, tragic and interesting, and the big story and cast never feels too big, not to broach a double entendre.

A couple more: ‘The Last Detail’; ‘The 400 Blows’ (not what it sounds like)…

My favourite movie

There is so many to list.

I did just go through every streaming channel we have, to find, Major Payne.

Others that come to mind when you want to watch them and there is no substitute.

Blazing Saddles
Monty python and the Holy Grail
Caddyshack
Men in Black
Bad Boys

There is more but these are the ones that come off the top of my head.

Off the top of my head, some that I can always rewatch and haven't been mentioned:

Fargo
My Cousin Vinny
Pulp Fiction
Trading Places

And, of course, The Grateful Dead Movie!

Why Terry Kiser did not get an Oscar for his portrayal of Bernie is an insult to the acting profession.

But there are thousands more.

Caddyshack, so many great life lessons.

Midnight Run, for DeNiro doing comedy.

Remains of the Day, for Hopkins.
