Movies I think are fair to excellent, many of you say suck.
I may be wrong, but I think a few people say a movie sux every time a movie thread starts.
So, what movies don't suck?

PotA and Godzilla don't suck.....as long as you don't think about the originals when watching them.
I finally saw Catwoman. It's so-so, as long as you remove any knowledge of DC and Catwoman from your memory when watching it.
Don't know about the other movies. And there's nothing wrong with Paris Hilton sucking. :eplus2:

Bat_Collector... Yeah it was awesome. The only reason I saw it was because I started reading the whole Infinite Crisis thing. I started with Hush (prologue) and Now I am running through the current stuff. I am going to be really mad if Blue Beetle died for nothing though! There better be one hell of an ending to this whole Infinite Crisis deal!

For some reason yesterday, when Tombstone was mentioned (one of wife's and mine favorites) that this thread I started is nearly the same as one a month or so ago.
But I think I've proved to myself what I suspected. A few of our fellow members only have negative to say about movies. To each their own.

Cage, caught me off guard with your Stalag 17 recommendation! Watched that movie with my father. Good classic flick!

Here's some of mine. Lots listed would be on my list too!

Tim Burton's Big Fish and Sleepy Hollow (love this guys work!)

Dances with Wolves ranks pretty high on my list

Q&A...really liked this, amazing cast.

In the Name of the Father and The Human Stain are pretty "heavy" movies. Must see if you haven't!

True Romance, already mentioned, is an all time favorite! Tarantino's films are all pretty good to me (Reservior Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill 1 & 2).

Castaway with Tom Hanks.

Godfather 1 & 2. I have a version on VHS in chronological order with tons of deleted scenes included. This version is AMAZING! I've never seen offered on DVD.

Once Upon a Time in America is another epic tale. Deniro, Woods...good stuff.

Another DeNiro film that comes to mind is The King of Comedy. Good stuff!

Comedies...
Wise Guys DeVito and Piscopo
Old School
Easy Money
History of the World Part 1

I could go on and on.........

Don't know about a TBS version. This is a LARGE box set with 4 VHS tapes AND a book of photos.

It WAS my father's (heh, heh).

Wish they would release a DVD version like this.

I have the DVD box set of parts l-lll with the bonus DVD (interviews with cast members, screen tests). But nothing compares to that VHS set.

Conan the Barbarian (I liked the Governor better when he didn't talk much)
SW: Empire Strikes Back (My favorite of the original trilogy)
Blade Runner-Director's Cut (No narration and no happy ending, the way Scott wanted to release the picture w/o studio meddling)
Saving Private Ryan (The first 30 minutes are intense)
Godfather Part 2 (Finally, a sequel that is just as good as the first picture)
Superman (Absolutely fun to watch)
