Holy Grail, Princess Bride, and The Burbs all seconded. I used to put the Burbs on every night to fall asleep to back when I was having a bit of a sleeping problem. I love that flick.

While we are on the subject of unusual favorites... I love the really goofy farce comedies.

Top Secret! (by far Val Kilmer's greatest role)
Dolemite
I'm Gonna Git You Sucka
Anything from Mel Brooks


I can't be the only guy to love Ricky-Oh: The Story of Ricky, can I? Without that flick, we wouldn't have this classic clip...

danny_galaga:


horseboy, have you seen 'silent movie'? thats a good un. ill have to see if i can find it somewhere. and also (dunno if its brooks, but damn funny) 'the very last remake of beau geste'...

horseboy:
Yep, I've seen Silent Movie.

I haven't seen The Last Remake of Beau Geste, but it looks intriguing. It wasn't Mel Brooks, but it was done by a good buddy of his. Marty Feldman. He played Igor in Young Frankenstein.

Chris G:
So you guys have me thinking of old 80's movies.  Has anyone seen the 1980 version of Flash Gordon?  I've only seen it once when it first came out (I would have been about 8 ), and have this vaguely fond memory of it.  Is it totally horrible watching it as an adult?  Unfortunately it's out of print and only available on eBay or Amazon for $50+ so obviously I'm not going to buy it, but wondering if it's worth the effort of trying to find a rental copy for old times sake...

MYX:
Aw crap. I watched Flash Gordon too many times when me and my brother were young. I tried to watch it recently and thought what the heck was I thinking. It  used to be a great film. But the song with Queen is still classic.

Another one I thought of is Pink Floyd's The Wall. I have watched that film many times over the last 20 years and it never stops amazing me how I find a different meaning each time I watch it. It strikes you differently based on where you are in life. I got really tired of all the drama that used to happen on New Years Eves, so I would save up for some of the "kind" and watch The Wall. It was a heck of a lot more fun than dealing with a bunch of drunk immature idiots crying about how their girl friend dumped them that afternoon, then she shows up and all the stupidity of who said what to whom and all that.

Just me, a comfy couch, a bowl of munchies, and my movie. Peaceful. I stopped the greenage about 10 years ago and saw the movie last year and it was still good. And furthermore, the new(ish) 5.1 mix is amazing.
