Well, that's true, but I wanted to make it clear which Mask I was rooting for. I didn't want people to think I was vouching for a Jim Kerry picture.
Actually Cher was pretty good in Silkwood and Moonstuck.

Yeah, there are a bunch of movies that fall into that category for me too.
The Godfather is one of them, and I've got 1 & 2 on DVD.
Original King Kong.
Just about any Ray Harryhausen.
Original Star Wars or first three Indiana Jones.
Jurassic Park films.
Many others too...
Dammit, I forgot Clash Of The Titans and the Sinbad trilogy. And speaking of movies with Patrick Wayne in them, I also forgot Beyond Atlantis.

Toy Story (and sequels)
The Dirty Dozen
Unforgiven
Outlaw Josey Wales
Get Carter
Meatballs
Planes, Trains, & Automobiles
Alien
Just FYI, we would like to keep these generic non-music topics to one running thread. For example, we have one running baseball, hockey, and World Cup thread. Since this is essentially an extension of the ongoing movies thread, I'm going to merge it there later today.
If you really want to start something like this in the future, you can create a 'group' if you want in the groups section of the board and people can join that group. Thanks for understanding.
