My favorite movies aren't those feel-good, happy things.  I could name some favorite comedies though.  I'm becoming more of a movie person lately.

After The Fox (with Peter Sellers)
Life of Brian (Python)
A Fish Called Wanda
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
Annie Hall
Sleeper (Woody allen)
Young Frankenstein
The Producers
Galaxy Quest


I also like Black Adder and AbFab.

tommy boy, is by far, the greatest movie of all time! :)  it's with chris farley and david spade.  basically, Tom is the village idiot who goes off to college for 7 years and barely graduates.  he comes back home to work at his dad's business.  his dad is getting married to a woman who is conning him (unknowingly), he dies on his wedding day, and the wife decides to sell the company for the money.  Tom, is the town's only hope! will he be able to save the company, and stop her from putting hundreds of people out of a job!?

go rent it and find out :D

hilarity insues.

With respect, damn it, watch some movies from before this decade!!!   Okay, apoplexy fading.... Really, movies were more important and lass conveyor-belt-y in earlier times.  You even get to feel all superior and artsy by watching some of them, even if they're just really funny!

Ok, I'll bite on this one for sure!!!

My favourites include.....

Boondock Saints - 2 Irish Brothers go on a quest from "God". :)

Devil's Advocate - A sucessful southern lawyer finds himself in New York in the middle of a BIG case... and then the plot thickens

Erin Brockavitch - based on the true story of a woman who overthrows a big power company

School Ties - A Jewish boy goes to an catholic college in the 50's

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not - French film which shows her point of view, then his, then reality. This one is a lot of fun :)

Run Lola Run - German film which shows 3 possible endings, based on different choices the main character could have made. Also fun.

The Mummy, Mummy Retunrs & Scorpion King trilogy. :) A fun filled action adventure romp through Egypt when a cursed mummy comes back to life and starts wreaking havoc

All those sound interesting, except the Mummy movies, which I tried but couldn't stay with.    Best one I saw for the first time recently.... Night of the Iguana, with Richard Burton and Grayson Hall and I forget the other big actress.   Defrocked priest hides out in Mexico as a tourguide, gets some unexpected help in fighting his demons.   Great speech at the climax.   I like the more uncomfortable, unglamorous movies that ask unexpected questions.

Beyond the 90s in which direction?  You don't like movies from before the 90s?

Recently watched (by me that is):

if.... -- Late 60s, starring Malcolm McDowell, about life in a boarding school, where pressures and indignities mount.   Eyes/n.s. too afftected to appreciate it very much, but far more interesting than any modern movie.

Mary of Scotland, 1936, K Hepburn as Queen Mary.   Very good and adult, looked great, KH had the same magical regal presence as in Lion In Winter 30 years later, one of my favorites...

This Land Is Mine, 1943, Charles Laughton-- shy accommodating schoolteacher is pushed by the Nazi occupation to where he has an epiphany and makes a brilliant speech about freedom at the end.   

The Paper Chase, 1973.   Good, though my kind of early 70s films tend to have more bite to them.
