This list could be very long so, just a few: Series: Lord of the Rings Harry Potter James Bond Batman (original was more camp, new series is more grit, like them both for their genre) Matrix Jackie Chan (action and LOL) Movies: Top Gun Full Metal Jacket Beaches Willie Wonka Chocolate Factory (both) Mission Impossible 1 Grease Das Boot A Bridge Too Far |

Ok, I'll do what Ess did, and will pick the movies I've seen and liked from your suggestions as well as add maybe a few of my own. The Gods Must Be Crazy- I thought this film was both informative and very humorous. Oh Brother, Where art Thou?- Although I haven't watched the movie in a few years, I remember laughing so hard at certain parts. Sister Act- One of those great 90's movies. Also, The Last King of Scotland The Sandlot Syriana |

Wow, glad to know you liked it as well. I myself enjoyed it a lot because I had done a little reading on the dictator of Uganda who I can't seem to quite remember his name. I forgot to add another movie that I just can't believed I left out: OFFICE SPACE |
