Star Wars (all)
2001: A Space Odessey
History of the World Part 1
Airplane!
A Clockwork Orange
Dr. Strangelove (or, how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb)
Young Frankenstein
Planet of the Apes
Gladiator
The Matrix

There's definately a lot I'm probably forgetting.

Gladiator and the Matrix were both awesome!
She's All That was good for a chick flick, even if it doesn't rate that high on the overall movie scale.
Scream, in my opinion, was a comedy. And even so it was pretty bad.

Other good movies:

The Sixth Sense
Mulan :)
The Princess Bride
Contact
Psycho
Dead Poets Society
Interview With the Vampire
Romeo and Juliet (no Leonardo DiCaprio jokes, please. I think he's god-awful ugly. But it was a good movie!)

Worst:

What Lies Beneath
Blair Witch Project
I Know What You Did Last Summer

Aragorn

"Favourites" are not the same as "best"... but the two lists overlap here and there anyway. It's just that I wouldn't put monumental/moving/profound pictures such as Schindler's List, 2001, Requiem for a Dream, etc. under "favourite" because entertainment value wasn't what I loved about them...

Favourites that come to mind first... listing all my favourites would take WAY too long

Brazil
Star Wars (all)
Indiana Jones (all, esp. Raiders)
Singin' in the Rain
West Side Story
The Wizard of Oz
Toy Story (both)
Lawrence of Arabia
E.T.: The Extraterrestial
Fight Club
Braveheart
Saving Private Ryan

... and a whole ton I LOVE that I'm too lazy to list right now.

I have to agree w/ you about the Land Before Time. Some movies are good with a long series, but others are just stupid. Star Wars? Yes. LBT? No!!!!! 8 is waaaaaaay too many. I mean, the first one was OK......when I was like, 7!

Theres 8!!! Does anyone even BUY those! They're like the rocky series, except there not any good.
