The Jimmy Stewart movie? I liked that one too. I also liked the one where he was a pro baseball player and flew B-47's. Heck, did he ever make a bad movie? Even if the movie without him wasn't good, he made it watchable. :cool:

Jeffy, what about Claymation?

Cool Hand Luke is a great one.
I like most all Steve McQueen flicks also.
ALL James Bond films except the AWFUL Pierce Brosnan ones; I have all of them on DVD.
Sean Connery Bond films are the best, very closely followed by Daniel Craig.
Top Gun is a good one too.
Downhill Racer with Robert Redford.
For "garbage" flicks, Reform School Girls and Dr. Butcher, Medical Deviant, AKA "Zombie Holocaust".
Most Lee Van Cleef Westerns.

Rounders with Matt Damon, Edward Norton, Martin Landau, and John Malkovich as Teddy KGB.
I have no idea who the WET BLANKET/BUZZ KILL chick was in that movie, but her character SUCKED.

Chicken Run

Thought of a few more:
Rollerball [the original with James Caan, not the silly remake]
Pulp Fiction
The two Grindhouse movies Planet Terror and Deathproof [Really anything Quentin Tarantino]

Agree all the Bond movies with Sean Connery but especially Goldfinger.

That's a good one. Now, how about a couple of obscure comedies in the same vein as Kentucky Fried Movie.

Who remembers these two from I believe the late 70's:

The Groove Tube
Tunnelvision

.....and you can't forget PolyEsther.

I actually have The Groove Tube on DVD! Chevy Chase is so young in it that he's barely recognizable. I saw Tunnelvision only once (on the sub) and I don't think it was ever released on anything more advanced than VHS.
