Oooh, me too! What a great movie. I also forgot The Princess Bride, Blues Brothers (original and 2000), Talladega Nights, and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.

Confession: I don't like The Breakfast Club.

Velvetshady, I really wanted to like Monty Python but I just couldn't do it. I like the Mel Brooks movies so I thought this would be right up my alley. I rented it a few years ago and made it through maybe half an hour before I had to shut it off. (Although I was browsing their sketches on YouTube and I really enjoyed "Upperclass Twit of the Year" and "Defense Against Fruit").

Oooh, good call!!  Although I will also watch Back to the Future 2.  I'm not such a fan of the third one.

Also, ditto everyone who said Ocean's 11.  Such delightful eye candy.

My confession: I've never seen Talladega Nights


mbcdefg The only TVs shows we had when I was in 2-3 grades were Fawlty Towers and Monty Python Flying Circus and my dad was a huge Mel brooks fan so grew up on those movies as well.  I tend to prefer the sketches over the movies and Holy Grail is the only movie I love--The Life of Brian and Meaning of Life have bits I like but I rarely have watch the full movies. Live at the Hollywood Bowl is more like the TV shows than the movies. It you haven't tried them before, I would recommend Fawlty Towers.
