Mel Brooks would lashed to death if he came out with Blazing Saddles today. Too many people that are too sensitive and/or no sense of humor.
FT at Ridgemont High - "learning about Cuba and having some food" and "my dad has a great set of tools. We can fix it" and of course, Phoebe Cates by the pool....all made for a fabulous teen movie.
I don't know man. Southpark is pretty ridiculously offensive and it continues to enjoy success.
Agreed, add Borat and several others and entertainment is pushing the boundaries on PC pretty strongly.
Star Wars
Others considered - Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, ET, Animal House, Top Gun

I’m not a fan of that movie compared to other characters they’ve created like Dr Steve Brule and Ron Burgundy but I do really enjoy this and play this song and I’m on a Boat every time I’m actually on a boat.
Never saw Forrest Gump. Zero interest. Always looked like bloated over the top Hollywood pablum to me...
My default answer is usually Goodfellas, as I like the genre, the acting, and I like movies that have some basis in reality. I'd probably put Rocky and Jaws up there as great classic movies. Raising Arizona is just a perfect movie from the way it was shot, to dialogue, to plot, to acting. Shawshank is great too. As far as movies I just flat out enjoy and watched over and over again as a kid in the '80s...
Airplane!, Vacation (only the original), Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, Easy Money, The Toy, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Porkys 1&2, Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and many more that I'm blanking on.

Love me some Cuckoo's Nest. Watched it with my boy just recently, and it really holds up. Tons of talented performances in that movie. Nurse Ratchett is number one for me for best villain, and not really close. It's real as hell, shows how mundane evil can be, and you never even get an insight into why exactly she is that way.
Scarface is my favorite of all time
True Romance is my choice for most underrated
Killer Klowns from Outer Space is my choice for guilty pleasure
Some other favs
Crimson Tide
Training Day
Rocky 1-4
Godfather 1/2
The Shining

Exactly. When I did my list, I wasn’t implying they were the BEST movie from a technical acting/writing/editing/directing standpoint. They were just my favorite.
If you’re talking about best made movies then you’re talking about movies like the Godfather, Citizen Kane, Rashomon, Once Upon a Time in the West, The Graduate, Tokyo Story, Lawrence of Arabia, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Doctor Zhviago, etc... All almost perfectly done movies....that I do not care to see again (Godfather’s laughably bad acting by the lesser roles especially in the poorly done action sequences makes me unable to watch that again).
