With the Oscars this month, I figured we'd do a list of our top 5 favorite movies.

It's really hard to rank, and mine are ever changing, but at the moment

5) Patton
4) Lost in Translation
3) Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan
2) Lawrence of Arabia
1) Goodfellas.  I can watch this over and over and never tire of it.

In no particular order, except for the first one; and subject to change, also except for the first one:

Blazing Saddles
The Jerk
48 Hrs.
Beverly Hills Cop

Having trouble coming up with a fifth one.

Two of those (Groundhog Day and WALL-E) are among my favorites. Can't stand LoTR.

Put in Requiem for a Dream, Clerks, Dogma, Idiocracy, Waiting, Interstellar, Inception, Borat, Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds, The Matrix, Memento, Stranger than Fiction, and Forrest Gump as movies that could also be on this list.

In no particular order:

South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut
Lord of the Rings trilogy extended editions
The Godfather
Animal House
Gandhi

The original Space Battleship Yamato comes close to being on the list, but the American TV series adaptation Star Blazers was better.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

The Jerk

Those are great comedies that never seem to get old.

Add Blues Brothers, Airplane, and Caddyshack, and that's a top 5 right there of just comedy!  :clap:

2-Grapes Of Wrath
3-Casablanca
4-Casino
5-Gettysburg

There are more great movies I could list but those five will work.

US 101 is THE backbone of the Pacific coast from Bandon OR to Willits CA.  Industry, tourism and local traffic would be gone or severely crippled without it being in functioning condition in BOTH states.

Wasn't that the one from South Park the boys were trying to take back to the video store? LOL!

Best episodes of that show are the ones that involve Randy in some fashion.

I don't have a particular favorite movie, but I'm a big fan of The Hunger Games series. The books were great and the movies are amazing.
