Don´t think I could do 10 off the top of my head without research. My memory just isn´t that good. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_biggrin.gif"> Here´s my top 5
 
 
 Drama:
 
 1) Ususal Suspects
 2) Lord of the Rings (Trilogy)
 3) Memento
 4) Ronin
 5) Matrix (original)
 
 Comedy:
 
 1) Office Space
 2) History of the World
 3) Blazing Saddles
 4) Electric Dreams
 5) The Specials
 
 If you know those last two in the comedy list then you know I´m a little (OK a LOT) on the weird side.

 <img src="http://sportsmed.starwave.com/media/pg2 ... pace_i.jpg">
 
 mmmkay Yea, can´t wait for the Top Porn Movies nomination. We are having a Lesbian only section right?
 
 
 My personal favorite
 
 Samir: No one in this country can ever pronounce my name right. It´s not that hard: Samir Na-gheen-an-a-jar. Nagheenanajar.
 
 Michael Bolton: Yeah, well at least your name isn´t Michael Bolton.
 
 Samir: You know there´s nothing wrong with that name.
 
 Michael Bolton: There was nothing wrong with it... until that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.
 
 Samir: Hmm... well why don´t you just go by Mike instead of Michael?
 
 Michael Bolton: No way! Why should I change? He´s the one who sucks.

This always so tough, especially the dramas, so I´ll do comedy first. These aren´t in any hard order:
 
 1) Rushmore
 2) This Is Spinal Tap
 3) Clerks
 4) Caddyshack
 5) Life of Brian
 6) Fast Times at Ridgemont High
 7) Dr. Strangelove
 <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_cool.gif"> A Christmas Story

 1) Pulp Fiction
 2) Lord of the Rings triology
 3) Blade Runner (director´s cut version)

 7) Full Metal Jacket
 <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_cool.gif"> Memento
 9) Aliens
 10) Lost in Translation
 
 Lost in Translation and Lord of the Rings are recent, but they are two of the best movies (or series of movies) I´ve seen in years, so on the list they go.

Brando:
 
 "You´ll shoot your eye out, kid!"
 
 As I told my mother two weeks ago, as long as I see "A Christmas Story" at least once per holiday season, all is right with the world.
 
 Thankfully, TNT gives me 12 chances in a row to see it Dec. 24-25. I think my daughter and I were on our third straight viewing Dec. 25 before we finally called time. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif">
 
 A fantastic movie.
 
 Take care,
 PK

Brando,
 
 You don´t have to be embarrassed about either A Christmas Story or Momento. They´re both fine movies. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_wink.gif">
 
 
 
 I don´t think I can come up with too many other movies than what are already listed. Great calls on "Rushmore´ and ´Apocalyspe Now´.
 
 I agree with most of these movies on here so I will just add a couple that were left off (at least that I noticed) and maybe don´t fit into my top ten but...:
 
 Comedy:
 
 Bottle Rocket
 Rush Hour
 Pee Wee´s Big Adventure
 
 Drama:
 
 Sling Blade
 Scent of a Woman
 Rain Man
