When I rented the movie I was actually asked if I wasn't too old for that movie (I was 17 or something!) Somehow Lucas seems to feel the need to make the movie suitable for kids too with lame teddy bears or a floppy eared 2 legged frog. Still love the movies though.

I guess most obvious choices are mentioned already. So maybe some "odd favorites". My odd favorites would be "LA Story", "Quest for the holy grail" and "Layer cake". Dunno why I like LA story. Guess it's a crappy movie actually, but somehow I love it. Holy grail I must have seen hundreds of times. We watched it about every we got back from a party. Recently saw Layer cake again and it still grabbed me.

I think that "Crash" and "Lost in translation" are great movies too, but they are not really movies to be seen again so they are not really favorites.

Seconded!  Personally, I find it far more compelling than the actual movie.

I completely agree. I only wish they would release it on DVD, as I haven't seen it in years. Listening to Coppola completely melt down concerning Martin Sheen's Heart attack, is still one of the greatest moments in film making.

MYX:
We got into a movie conversation at work and I was smacked with one I totally forgot. Princess Bride.

My name is Inigo Montoya...You Killed my father...Prepare to die. I have watched that movie so many times.

Anyone ever see Joe vs. the Volcano? No one really liked it, but I did. I worked at a movie theater when it was out. So many little hidden details that you started to see. Was goofy, but good.

shmokes:
I know he can get the job, but can he do the job?  I'm not arguing that with you!   ;)

I love Joe vs. the Volcano.  Same with The Burbs.  I only wish Tom Hanks was as adventurous with the roles he takes today (he's still great, but . . . )

Here are some out of the ordinary favorites (in no particular order):

1- Girlfight
2- Secretary
3- You Can Count on Me
4- Pan's Labyrinth
5- Shallow Grave

boykster:
Secretary and Shallow Grave...both great movies.  I had almost totally forgotten about Shallow Grave.

A few other oddball favorites of mine -> Delicatessen, Naked Lunch, Videodrome, Rollerball (the original), DeathRace 2000
