    Monty Python and the Holy Grail
    This Is Spinal Tap
    Raging Bull
    The Godfather
    Cape Fear (The Robert Mitchum one...)
    Singin' In the Rain (Go figure...)
    Casablanca
    Apocalypse Now
    It Happened One Night
    Unforgiven
    Raiders of the Lost Ark

    "Star Wars" original trilogy
    "Star Trek" - "Wrath of Khan" and "The Voyage Home"
    "Serenity"
    "The Producers" (original)
    "Blazing Saddles"
    "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
    "Indiana Jones" trilogy
    "Galaxy Quest"
    "When Harry Met Sally ..."
    "The Sound of Music"
    "Gone With the Wind"
    "Lord of the Rings" trilogy
    "Ed Wood"

    Not much point in adding my list to yours... most of my favorites appear on either list.

    However, I just had to whine about Grail being listed. Don't get me wrong. I like that movie, too, but so many people know that film and assume its the sum total of Python, when The Meaning of Life was so much better (in my opinion).

    I don't agree with "Meaning of Life" being better, but I do agree that too many people miss "Meaning of Life" and "Life of Brian" because all they hear about is "Grail." My biggest complaint with "Grail" is just the usual- it becomes "cool" to like it and then everybody walks around quoting it to death and it almost makes you dislike it out of spite. But not quite...

    I think it should be legal to garrote anyone one who says "Ni" in a high, squeaky voice.

    However, both my 4 and 17 year olds think it is hilarious when I say "I fart in your general direction."

    That, and Kaniggets are okay, but only because they haven't been done NEARLY to death as "Ni".

    God, I just said "Ni" in my head right now and I feel like punching myself.

    Can't even think of the main Movie Stars name right now. Was telling the same story line to another today and they brought up the Stars name right away. I'll probably remember it right after this post.

    Not as I expected but it finally happened hideaway. So far by no choice with two days down and the clock ticking of three left to go,the line was BECAUSE I HAVE NO WHERE TO GO-Officer and a Gentlemen…
