The Pursuit of Happyness is very good. I loved the name of the company.

Rocky Balboa is excellent too. Interesting because Stallone wrote it. You have to admire how he relates to the role. Also a good look at life from this side of life. As you age perspectives change a lot.

MMMMMMMM, any movie with Markie Mark is worth watching. Yummy!

I liked Hidalgo with Viggo Mortensen. And of course Rock Star with Markie Mark (Jennifer Aniston is in it too for all your guy's viewing pleasure. You get an a$$ shot too)

Are we talking new movies, or the all time favorites?
"Crash" is a must see.
"Momento" will mess with your mind
Of course I love a good "ganster" movie, and anything from Pixar.
That broad enough?

All right, if you're talking about all time movies then give me The Thin Man anyday.

A long time favorite is Don Juan DeMarco with Johnny Depp, Marlon Brando and Faye Dunaway. circa 1995. A story about a man who thought he was the greatest lover of all time. I can relate...

He wrote all of them. As a matter of fact I want to say that after Rocky I he wrote the sequel in 5 days proving that he was very intelligent to the community.

I finally saw The Departed on a flight from London (first class crew rest!). It was good.

Do you like flying movies?
Cloud Dancer
The Great Waldo Pepper
Those Magnificent Men and their flying Machines
The Great Santini (not much flying)
The Blue Max
The Bridges of Toko Ri
The McConnell Story
Airforce
Captains of the Clouds
Devil Dogs of the Air
The High and the Mighty
Island in the Sky
Tuskegee Airmen
War Lover
Red Flag: The Ultimate Game

How about these all time favs:

1. The Right Stuff
2. Strategic Air Command
3. Memphis Belle
4. Empire of the Sun (GREAT P-51 scenes towards the end)
5. Airport (the plausible one)
6. Airport __ (fill in the blank - less plausible to pure fantasy. BTS how does Joe Patroni go from being a lead TWA mechanic in the first Airport movie to flying the Concorde in the last edition? ) I digress...
7. Flight of the Phoenix (the original)
8. Spirit of St. Louis

And if you like space movies, check out:

1. Apollo 13
2. From the Earth to the Moon (fantastic HBO series)
3. Marooned

Check 'em out.
