Ooh, I forgot Blues Brothers and Ninth Gate. Sunny, have you seen the original movie, Open Your Eyes, which Vanilla Sky is a remake of?

And, I must add...

Rosemary's Baby
The Innocents
Dead of Night
The Haunting

Oooh! ..... No, I haven't seen Open Your Eyes......But I will, now

I get some eye-rolling from Grandma sometimes, asking me why the first 7,000 viewings weren't eough.

The Boune movies (the ones with Matt Damon - I don't even remember the Jeremy Renner one, and I thought it was okay).
Shawshank, Green Mile.
The Fugitive.
Aliens.
LA Confidential.
Casablanca, To Have and Have Not The Maltese Falcon.
Jurassic Park.
Psycho
Band of Brothers episodes.

I'd watch Saving Private Ryan every time, but Grandma is a sweet, sensitive soul, and it's just too upsetting for her. She likes her violence comic book style.

Dana Jean - we've had a Neil Simon conversation before, haven't we? I will watch all those, any time.

I usually watch a movie when I need to check out of reality for a bit:
The Birdcage
Joe Dirt
if I ever just need to laugh I think of that poor dog stuck to the porch and Joe wielding his spatula
Meatballs
Sixteen Candles
The Princess Bride
Terms of Endearment

To Sir With Love is one of my all time favourites. I make it a point to watch Jesus Christ Superstar at least once a year, and I totally forgot the Princess Bride. I also love watching, or at least listening to, the old MGM musicals.
