I lived in Seaside when they filmed Kindergarten Cop in Astoria, it's a really small town so people were so excited.

Really? That's awesome.

Here are some of my favorites. Movies I've seen any number of times and that I don't get tired of. There are many others.

Raising Arizona
Life of Brian
Lone Star
Being There
Jerry and Tom
The Hudsucker Proxy
Snatch
Let It Ride
To Kill A Mockingbird
You've Got Mail

I have no idea, how do you pick only 10?


Let's see, I guess for me that would be:


The Bat (1959)
Stand Alone (1985)
Gremlins
The Blob (1958)
House on Haunted Hill
Thelma & Louise
Fried Green Tomatoes
Crazy in Alabama
Rebel Without a Cause
Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff

It's really interesting the variation!

Aside from Raising Arizona I haven't even heard of the rest.

The others don't surprise me but I am a little surprised that you haven't at least heard of Life of Brian (A Monty Python movie) and Being There. I'm hesitant to recommend any to you as I don't know how closely our tatstes coincide. I would also include a couple of yours from the Unpopular, ignored and forgotten thread. Roxanne and Stranger Than Fiction.

Which One? (I think I can guess. Vincent Price?) Scary!

I'll have to start watching them :0)

I would recommend them all but check them out on-line to see if any sound like they may be of interest. Just because they're classics doesn't mean you're required to like them.

That's right, the 1959 version, I forgot to put that in there. I LOVE that movie, it was one of the first movies I ever saw as a kid, I think I was about 2 or 3, and even for that time I thought it was KIND of creepy, but it didn't compare to The Bat, also with Vincent Price from that year. THAT one SCARED me, I guess even back then I knew that The Bat was far more likely to happen than the plot of HOHH occurring in real life.
