I have always enjoyed this film. I don't know why, I just do.

Also love the narrative indroduction by the late and great Rod Serling, yes Serling not Sterling.

Coppola.... Brando.... Sheen.... a young Harrison Ford (if only for a few minutes)... a young Lawrence Fishburne.... and of course Dennis Hopper.
Oh, and The Doors (one of my fave bands) music along with Wagner's.

I can add The Godfather as a very close second, funnily, also a Coppola movie starring Brando.

Other faves:
Alien
Any Kubrick, but specifically Dr. Strangelove, the Shining, 2001, and Barry Lyndon.
Lord of The Rings trilogy
Pulp Fiction
Forrest Gump
The Matrix
it's hard to make a list, there's a few more I consider great films.

Guilty pleasure: Walk Hard, the Dewey Cox Story

Oh man... it's hard for me to nail down any limited list of favourites.

Any movie that I can watch numerous times without ever getting tired of it makes the grade, as far as I'm concerned.

Yes that's another of my favorites too.
Actually I have a collection of Audience Sourced recordings of newer JCS show's. My favorite among them is the Sebastian Bach JCS shows, really good too. Hmm I wonder if that's on youtube? I am off searching now, lol

I would say Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments...

Yea that's what I meant, ya know i think I have a full audio show of that? I remember the name.
BTW did you ever see the movie I posted? It's a must watch for any ATSer in my opinion. Very odd and weird flick.

Me too, Hey you remember "Hair"? That was a good one also.
Another to watch again is "The Warriors"

a reply to: Naturallywired

Hair was depressing. The soldier finds his way and the hippie finds his way.... to Vietnam. Good music though.

The Warriors was cool. James Remar was awesome. Even though he got busted.
