I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Gladiator with Russel Crowe. Gettysburg with the whole cast. I could watch all the Godfather movies again. But I Like epics more than anything. If there are aren't 100,000 warriors on the field, it doesn't do too much for me. "Troy" was great. I'm sick of the oldies, especially "It's A Wonderful Life". Good flick, but OMG how much can you handle?

A few that we've watched dozens of times with the kids in the camper whenever the weather was crappy:
Major Payne
Rocketman
Matilda
Hard to limit to only seven more:
Star Wars
Guardians Of The Galaxy
Kingpin
The Jerk
Land Of The Lost
Blazing Saddles
The Fifth Element
Step Brothers
Don't much care for over-the-top action films and certainly nothing with "Furious" in the title.

A lot of the 70s NYC cop/exploitation movies are up there - at least for pure entertainment value.

Wanted to put in Gorky Park, probably should have. Steel Magnolias has some great acting in it. Sally Field nailed it about losing a child. A Bridge too Far shows how it was done back in the day. Great movie!!!

I'm with the previous posters that mentioned; "Apocalypto". Oddly landed on it while channel surfing and became totally absorbed. Luckily it repeated as soon as it was over and I watched it again. Produced by Mel Gibson and I'd never heard of it as a theater production? If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor! I gotta get me one of them trip wire thing-a-ma-gigs!! ![[Linked Image]](https://s26.postimg.org/rq1m4gevt/Trip_Wire.jpg) Cabellas? DMc : )

The Quiet Man
The Sands Of Iwo Jima
Stagecoach
Rio Grande
The Three Godfathers
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Shane
High Noon
It's A Wonderful Life
The Wizard Of Oz

And the dubious distinction of being one of the worst of all time - "The Edge"
