I have the what's your top 5 conversation pretty often, and it's been a while since I was so obsessed with a movie that I watched it like 30 times without watching a different movie in between. Like these ones:

1. A Few Good Men
2. Pulp Fiction
3. The Boondock Saints
4. Braveheart
5. The Big Lebowski

Other good ones:
Hot Rod
Tommy Boy
Dumb and Dumber
Both new Batman movies
First two Spiders-Man
Anything with Edward Norton usually
same for Robert Downey Jr lately. Irons-Man, Tropic Thunder, and even Sherlock Holmes was pretty good.
The Truman Show
V for Vendetta
40 year old virgin
office space
shawshank
eternal sunshine
the usual suspects
the bourne trilogy
No churches have free wifi because they don't want to compete with an invisible force that works.

I'm not even gonna try to list 'em all, but here's a few...
(and you've all picked some awesome ones - good thing I don't have netflix)

Silent Running
Being There
Star Wars 4,5,6 (the original ones, not the director's re-imagining, enhanced, suped-up, Han-didn't-shoot-first version)
Brazil
Princess Bride
Blade Runner
Superman 4 (ok, not really - just seeing if you're paying attention!)
Buckaroo Banzai
MST3k (all of 'em, and any really bad movie for that matter)

Why does every other one begin with "B"?  Not sure really...
JoeActor

p.s. too many to list...

Awesome additions. I almost put Silent Running on mine because I remember loving it so much. But having not seen it in so long, I hesitated adding it. And Joe, the MST3K inclusion is excellent. I concur.
