Theres some good ones in here.. Cool Hand Luke has one of my favorite soundtracks. I guess If I had to pick a favorite I might say all three Lord of the rings movies... but I don't know. Trainspotting, Full Metal Jacket, A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Oddyssey, Any Michel Gondry movie, any van damme movie before Timecop, The Basketball Diaries, Jurassic Park, Coen brother's movies, There will be blood, Ernest Scared stupid, The Neverending Story, Jim Henson movies... aahhh, I love movies!

Man a lot of good movies have been listed...I find with Movies that certain ones go in and out of style for me.  About 5 years ago, I was all about Weird Science, now I just skip past it when I'm looking to watch a movie.  Lately, I can't get enough of Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back...I don't know why but right now all I can hear in my head is, "Hey baby, ever had your asshole licked by a fat man in an overcoat."  And it makes me smile.  Big Man in Japan is a movie about a super-hero in Japan that is all depressed and all of Tokyo talks shit about him.  He's the last super-hero left and he sucks at his job. 

Bottle Rocket
Big Man in Japan
Videodrome
Dead Alive
Return of the Living Dead
Pusher Trilogy
Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back

I'm glad to see Hartley getting some love over here on SLAP. Definitely one of the most interesting/idiosyncratic filmmakers of the 1990's. Too bad he hasn't produced anything worthwhile in the last 10+ years. I guess his last good film was "Henry Fool?"

yeah, he kind of dropped off the map.  i still haven't seen FAY GRIM.  NO SUCH THING was pretty awful.
