    Oh, and...

    Oh yeh, how could I forget Swingers- "Vegas Baby!" And, and Stripes-"These are just the kind of go getters I need for my new EM 50 project."

    80's teen movies: Valley Girl & Just Say Anything

    Oh, and the best dominant/ submissive love story you're likely to see this year (or any year for that matter) "Secretary"

    And Ed Norton in "American History X" Amazing!

    Don't forget "USED CARS". It may be a few years old but still one of the funniest movies ever made.

    Kurt,

    Mentioning James Caan reminds me of one helluva good movie. Remember "Gardens of Stone"?

    What nobody mentioned Bond James Bond. I like most but not all of the Bond series. Cool cars, gadgets and girls. Most of my other favorites were mentioned and several that I have not seen (I guess I should check them out).

    I also like Arnold in the Conan and T1 and T2 movies but have not seen T3 yet.

    Harrison Ford made some good ones including American Graffiti (he drove the 55 Chevy).

    THE CAR

    Remember, a 60's something that was possessed and terrorized a small town in the desert (don't they all occur there).

    Speaking of weird car movies. I always like "The Duel". The movie where a guy is driving through the desert and that big 18 wheeler jacks with him. It was an early Spielberg movie.

    I liked The Car... then again I was about 12 when I saw it. Wonder if how much it inspired Christine.

    The Duel was great, and how could I have forgotten to list Better Off Dead in my first reply on this?
