OT: Favorite Movie

My favorite movie for sentimental purpose is Tora!Tora!Tora! This is the only movie that I remember my father taking me to by himself; just the two of us. I must have been around 8 or 9 when the movie came out, and I can't remember now if it was planned or just a spontaneous thing on his part. It's the only time he did something like that, and I'll always treasure that.

The other movie I like from my childhood is The Wizard of Oz. Since it came on TV every year, I just got hooked on it. Now my son likes it, so I plan on watching more of it in the future.

As far as my other Favorites, here's a short list:

Star Wars (it will alwasy been Star Wars to me, no matter what Lucas calls it)
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Where Eagles Dare
The Alamo (John Wayne Version, of course)
The Dirty Dozen
In Harm's Way
Blade Runner
Planet of the Apes (both Versions)
2001 & 2010
Escape From New York

There are a lot of others, but I got to go back to work.

Not sure if that helps you, David; I'd assume you've thought of this before...

Thanks for the heads up, I was aware of a few places Online that offered the VHS, the DVD edition must be pretty recent though.

Personally I don't make purchases Online, but it's at least good to hear that it is now available on DVD. I'll bug the local store to find a copy.

Cheers!

Just picked that up the other day. A great flick! And probably the greatest of all of the Robin Hood films. NO, not probably, IT IS the greatest Robin Hood film ever made.

Some more films I like:

Ben-Hur
The Ten Commandments
King Kong (the original)
all of the even-numbered Star Trek films
Die Hard (I & II)
Back to the Future
Time After Time
Air Force One

and the list goes on. There have been some great films come out over the years, and not so great. And what may be my favorite could be your most hated film. To each his own taste.
