One of my favorite war movies. Kelly's Heroes, Battle of The Bulge, Patton, Midway, The Devil's Brigade, Dirty Dozen, To Hell and Back....I drive my wife nuts around Memorial Day/Veterans Day when they run marathons of these and I fill up the DVR.

The genius of this thread is that some of these movies will do really well in head to head match ups. Midnight Run and the Princess Bride didn't make my list but they have a shot to upset higher seeds.

Midnight Run is flawless, IMO. I can watch it over and over again and still die laughing, it has heart too.

Need more time to come up with my list; but, I just wanted to show my appreciation for listing Once Upon a Time in America.

Not sure if it’ll end up making my list, but the full version of this movie is a *gosh darn* masterpiece.

The edit that ended up being released is one of the biggest travesties in Hollywood history.

Not many people seem to know about it or appreciate how great it is. Too many have watched it on TV and it's a mess how Hollywood cut it up, as you point out.

Roger Ebert has a great review; I thought about putting it on my list but "Once Upon a Time in the West" edged it out.

Surprised to see Sunset Boulevard and Roman Holiday on this board. Both are good movies though.

Midnight Run really was a classic. I forgot that one but Grodin and De Niro had great chemistry together. I had the pleasure of meeting Grodin in a one on one setting and got to talk with him for a couple hours. He was nothing but pleasurable and willing to discuss all his movies.
 
What kind of lists are these without the following all time classics:
Caddyshack
Animal House
AIrplane

Rubbish I say, rubbish......

I will admit I have never heard of it. I looked at the trailer online and its got a great cast. I see the full version is on Netflix. I will have to check it out.
 
In no particular order:

The In-Laws (original with Falk/Arkin)
Field of Dreams
Goodfellas
The Departed
Casablanca
Wings of Desire
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Being John Malkovich
The Producers (original with Zero and Gene)
The Dark Knight
Glengarry Glen Ross
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover
Nobody's Fool (the Newman one)
Best In Show
The Station Agent
And finally, Bandits, because I can watch this six minutes on loop for hours...



Honorable mention to Grosse Point Blank, which I'll watch whenever it's on.

You forgot Gigli.

Or maybe you're one of the six people who liked it.

I'd expect that with the age spread here. There are a lot of movies mentioned here that I would've included 20 or even 10 years ago, like Airplane!, Animal House, and even Blazing Saddles, but they do very little for me today. And good comedies that appeal to my sense of humor have been very rare this century.
 
There Will Be Blood
The Departed
Tropic Thunder
Django Unchained
The Prestige
Old Boy
The Handmaiden
A History of Violence
The Dark Knight
Warrior
American Pyscho
Hot Fuzz
Apocalypto
Inception
In Bruges
Moon
Crash
Just kidding on the last one
 
I like the premise but I think that if I was asked this question again, I would have about half the same answers. I am probably forgetting some of my favorites and being subjected to recency bias.
