I thought you stoped watching altogether, keep up the good list, orhan.
Me too, I only watch on dvd because I hate to be dissapointed and I have to know the movie to go see it in theater (for a different feel, which my laptop will never replicate). but what really turns me off in a theater is the previews, they're so loud and heavily edited and generally of movies I don't want to see.

The Conversation: very neurotic and architectural but very slow at the same time. F.F.Coppola. Apocalype Now is up there too, every shot n this film is artwork.
Wall Street: sick acting and one of the best captures of a specific era.
"Greed is Good"
Good Fellas: you can weave in and out of any scene of this movie without watching the whole thing and still really enjoy it and never really get sick of it.
The Warriors: old school new york, ya dig
other:
French Connection
Rafifi
Dario Argento Horror Flicks
Happiness
Kyzlowski's trilogy: Red, White, Blue
Breaking Away is such a great film. I was in Bloomington recently and not much has changed. I did recall the Daniel Stern line in the film though and I'm paraphrasing "College sure does something to a girl's tits" Go Hoosiers!!!
Field of Dreams - I'm a nerd on this one too LB. Not sure it's one of my favorites, The Natural and Bull Durham are better baseball movies, but I have to fight back the tears every time he asks his dad if he "wants to have a catch?" Otherwise I'm very manly. Really.
Breaking Away - watched it last night too. A sentimental favorite having grown up in Indy. Plus my wife went to IU and happens to kinda look like "Katarina" Makes Indiana look like a beautiful place. Great music too.
Goodfellas - see, told ya I was a manly man
Spinal Tap / Guffman
Bottle Rocket / Rushmore / Royal Tennenbaums / Life Aquatic
Barcelona / Metropolitan - Where have you gone Whit Stillman?
Kicking and Screaming - The Noah Baumbach one, not the recent Will Ferrrel one. College days nostalgia.
Pulp Fiction / Resevoir Dogs / True Romance
Vacation - "Sometimes the pressure make's you do crazy things you wouldn't normally do. Like swimming naked with girls? YEAHHH like swimming naked with girls." We had a family truckster back in the 80s and drove across country in it a few times. "The smell from the backseat.....I KNOW that smell, I KNOW that smell..."
Midnight Run
The Godfather I & II
Big Night - "a hilarious movie about a restaurant" Yes, BUT, more of a "dramady" maybe, not just a funny movie. More about brotherly love. Makes me want to call my brother after watching it. Ok, maybe I am a sentimental guy. Check that, makes me want to call him AFTER eating a large goumet italian dinner. That last single-shot dialogue-free scene is a classic.
Raising Arizona/Fargo
Shawshank Redemption
Holy Grail
Manhattan/Annie Hall/Sweet & Lowdown
Lots of others I can't think of right now. Time to draw pictures of buildings.
