wow, Toxical, it seems we have similar tastes, almost like you copy pasted my list :)

I forgot some truly great ones that you guys listed and some you didn\'t:

Time After Time (wowzas!) anyone ever seen it?
Akira
12 Angry Men (Henry Fonda went to my high school!)
The Time Machine
Memento
Unbreakable (jaw was on floor at end of movie)
Drunken Master 2
Pink Panther 3 (the Hong Kong one! so funny, almost better than anything else out there!)
Blade Runner
Evil Dead 2
Army of Darkness

I know that there are dozens of other movies I love but those are some.

My all time favs by listing would probably be:

Drama -

Shawshank Redemption

Suspense -

12 Monkeys (I was getting really into it!) or Se7en

Action -

Enter the Dragon or Drunken Master 2

Comedy -

Brain Candy, The Jerk, Airplane,or Half Baked.

musical -

are you joking?

Based on True Story -

Schindler\'s List


I know I leave many out, but I could watch these movies over and over and the emotion (laugh, excitement, sadness, etc) is never lost when I watch.
