Oh my gosh...Hard question!

I've got lots of favorites:

To Kill a Mockingbird
Princess Bride
When Harry Met Sally
Shawshank Redemption
O Brother Where Art Thou
Cast-Away
Jean de Florette/Manon of the Spring
...and some other obscure artsy or foreign flicks too.

Well..that's a start.

Oh jeez, the greatest movie of all time....

I would have to say....The Shawshank Redemption
It is just so powerful, the first 10 times I saw it I was overwhelmed. If you haven't seen it, go see it now!

Also, some other great flicks: Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, Meet The Parents, Forest Gump

Blues Brothers.
Hands down the finest piece of film to ever come out of hollywood

The car chase is epic!

The 10 Commandments is another all timer.

Green mile is Tom Hanks finest.

Dead again is good too.

This is a tough one. There are lots of really great movies out there. Many movies seem like they are the best, but are quickly replaced by others. I would have to say that one of the best movies of all time is "The Right Stuff."

I really liked Shawshank Redemption and The Silence of the Lambs! I also enjoy any movie with Tom Hanks in it as he is a great actor! Johnny
