A lot of us here enjoy relaxing to a good classic movie. I am starting this thread to get your responses on your favorite movies (especially classics). This is not intended to do only classics, but bring out some movies that could become a classic even if it's something like HOLLYWOOD KNIGHTS (my favorite of all time) Bring 'em out! John Wayne, Clint Eastwood,Henry Fonda, James Stewart, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson, You get the idea!

Young Frankenstien.

Dr. Frankenstien - Abbey?
Igor - Yeah,,, Abbey uhhh,, something
Dr. Frankenstien - Abbey something?
Igor - Yeah,, uhhhh Abbey something,,, uhhh,, Abbey,, Abbey Normal,, yeah that's it Abbey Normal!
I hear the original "Gone in 60 seconds" is supposed to be bada$$. I dont think there were any well known actors in the movie they could not afford it. It was also made with about 3 thousand dollars, lol
There are a few I like, Godfather, Scarface, etc. But one I just rewatched recently was Heat with DiNero and Pachino. Not only are these guys great in it, but the shootout scene between the cops and bank robbers is the best ever IMO.
Strange thing about it, that real shootout in California between the bank robbers and the cops was very similar to the movie.

something about the Shawshank Redemption that turned my crank
and the Mad Max movies.
I want to see Thunder Road again _it has to be 35 years since I last saw it

If we're talkin good ol cheesy low budget car movies, Death Race 2000 or Duel are always big hits. The Car isn't bad, either although I haven't seen it in years.
Another goodie just came to mind....Two Lane Blacktop.
bullit, smokey and the bandit, 300 (just came out the best movie i have ever seen), original gone in 60 seconds, American Graffiti, the good the bad and the ulgy, fistfull of dollars, pulp fiction, talladega nights, blow, goodfellas, the list goes on and on
but if you are looking for something to go see watch 300 it is about 300 spartans defending sparta from the persians and it is based on a true story just a great movie. i own the original gone in 60 seconds and it is bada** there is a 45min chase scene where he is actually driving through the middle of town and bumping into real cars not movie cars much of that scene was unplanned
World's Fastest Indian may just become a classic.
For me, it's gotta be "Lonesome Dove" a real classic western With Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones. I watch this classic at least once a year. It was originally a four part TV mini-series and if you can't get enough there are some sequels.
Band of Brothers is my all time pick.
You people are really hitting some good ones I like also. I just had to drop in here for another suggestion. Anybody watch Monty Python flicks? Sometimes British Humor fits the bill for an evening of foolishness.

This is a very exspansive site ,I have browsed thru it for over 2 years......still have lots to see.
So Denny, you must have Clan Of The Cave Bear in your collection. It's not what might be called a classic by most but it is good. Besides who can resist Darryl Hanna in the movie.
Caddy Shack, Blues Brothers
My 4 yr old grandson brings the same movie every time he comes over, which is 2-3 times a week, and we have to watch it at least once. We have watched it 40-50 times already. He can quote most of it by heart and I find myself able to do the same. So, it must be my favorite too.
"CARS"
BTW, he want to be "Mr. The King" when he grows up. Me, I want to be "Snot Rod" when I grow up.
The Great Escape, Breaking Away, and the World's Fastest Indian are all classics (Trust me, World's Fastest Indian will be a classic, at least among gear-heads).
I'v seen it, and yes, better than the new 1. Speed used to play it every once in a while. tho it is a '73 Movie, it is still a classicQuote:

Heart like a wheel
The story of Shirley Muldowney
BigTruckDriver- yeah, you gotta see the original Gone in 60 Seconds. Makes the remake look sick.
I was just thinking of a good one that will be a classic. Anger Management. "I feel pretty, oh so pretty!" Cracks me up. BTD, Original 60 secs is worth renting or buying. Amazing how they filmed it on their budget.
Heres the one some say was the precursor to the clan of the cave bear...Quote:

Hey Shawn, How big is your hardrive (computer hardrive) and what's the speed of processor and your front bus etc. You always have these video connections locked and loaded. Are you storing or just viewing some and then wiping them out? Just curious.

Anything with Humphrey Bogart in it. "Treasure of Sierra Madre" particularly.
Anything with Clark Gable in it. "It Happened One Night" particularly.
