Best Movies, ever!
I'm talking of movies you'd actually want to watch!
1) Casablanca
2) The Great Dictator
3) Dr. Strangelove
4) The Jerk
5) The Mouse That Roared

There are many more that I can think of. This is a great start. Add to this, if you can.

I was serious....it would be kef doing the chuckling.

Some Like it Hot is great, too, for the comedy genre.

17. oh yeah that's great
If you liked that you might like "Madadayo" which is an overlooked Kurosawa classic. I like Ran too. Kagemusha. The Hidden Fortress. Derzu Urzala (sp?) Sanjuro. Dreams. Really everything he's ever done.

8. I love Casablanca, but if I were to
offer, The Goonies, would you think I was serious.
Because I am. I love that movie. Tells so much about friendship
and what people are willing to go through because of it.
