http://www.metacafe.com/watch/258314/gh ... w_trailer/

I may have repeats from the previous:

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
The Great Escape
To Kill A Mockingbird
It's a Wonderful Life (boo hoo hooooooo)
Fargo
Pulp Fiction
Romeo is Bleeding
Good Fellas
Natural Born Killers
Drug Store Cowboy
The first South Park Movie - was it "Bigger, Harder, Faster"?
Fritz the Cat

Those are names of some, but really anything Mafia, Cowboy, animated, Hitchcock... Gene Hackman, Clint Eastwood...

This was harder than I thought

greatest movie of all time:

caddy shack

I love most of the movies everyone has mentioned...
Above all, I have a special place in my heart for Clint Eastwood movies (he really is the man).
Of the ones I own:
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
Pale Rider
Hang em High
The Outlaw Jose Wales
Two Mules for Sister Sarah
High Plains Drifter
Unforgiven
Heartbreak Ridge

Those are all in contention for my favorites... I own about 15 other Clint Eastwood movies, but those are my favorite.

I also like most of the movies by M. Night Shyamalan, with my two favorites being the Villiage and Unbreakable.

Other movies of Honorable mention (from non specific Directors):
Ben Hurr (I LOVE this classic!)
Willow
Princess Bride
Predator
Aliens
Casablanca
Fierce Creatures (and a Fish Called Wanda)
Dawn of the Dead (the new one)
Top Gun
12 Monkeys
Sin City
King Arthur
Braveheart
Gladiator

TV Series:
Rome
Band of Brothers


Also, +1 to everything Candy said. Billt39 listed a lot of my favorites too.

I think it is AMC that is doing a month of Lucille Ball films! I guess I forgot what mom told me about Lucy! Last night was one B+W with Henry Fonda and Lucy from 1942 - Lucy was beautiful, sang, danced! And Henry Fonda looked so young! There were more on after from 1939 (3 she did in 1939!!) There were other actors that I recognized, but they were so young that I only felt a familiarity for their voice!!

I love the late 30's early 40's films! When I think about the low budgets, lack of special effects, equipment of the day, it really makes me think about how it was all about the actors getting their characters across so much more directly!

Action flicks... lots of mayhem and killing doesn't hurt either ..... yep, pure escapism.

It's actually Turner Classic Movies. I didn't know there were so many Lucy films.

TCM = No commercials

AMC= Lots of commercials
