Oh yes, it is truly the film that I have repeatedly watched the most times. Hmmm, that was very bad grammar indeed, oh well!

Marty: 'I'll have an omelette'
Waitress: 'What would you like on that?'
Marty: 'No, no, nothing, just the omelette.'
Waitress: 'Well, thats not technically an omelette.'
Marty: 'Look, I dont want to get into a semantic argument about it, I just want the protein!'

Phil :D

That looks suspiciously like alphabetical order to me! :D

Strange Days - I liked that film, but I seem to remember the critics didn't like it much?
 
did anyone ever tell you that you have impeccable taste, lenny?

Not often, so thanks for the compliment! :)

That's true, it pretty much bombed with the critics and at the box office. I love it though, one of my faves of the 90's.

Has anybody here ever seen Last Summer? I sometimes feel like I'm the only person who's ever watched it. I hope it gets a dvd release one day.
 
My all time favorites are the ones I own on both vhs and dvd, which right now is limited to:

Pulp Fiction
What Dreams May Come
 
Man Who Would Be King.
Remains of the Day. (One of my favorite novels also.)
Men in Black.
Blues Brothers.
American Graffiti.
Animal House.
Fantasia.
Laurel and Hardy, especially Way Out West.
 
"Casablanca", of course...

and a strange film which was very artful and came out about ten years ago: "Orlando". I don´t know the names of neither the director of the film nor of the actress but it is a film that I can´t forget and which impressed me greatly.

there's a pretty funny b-movie version of casablanca that takes place in the future called overdrawn at the memory bank, starring raul julia. it's a pbs co-production, so it kind of looks like one of those old educational films you watched in high school. it was bad enough to be featured on an episode of mystery science theater 3000.
