Well, I suppose I have a few movies I recently dusted off. I know most of my selctions are recent, but these are all movies I can watch multiple times:

1. LOTR - The scope, the manpower, the vision, and the time it took to make these films was nothing short of amazing. I'm a big fan of the books, and I can critique the finer details of the storyline with the best of 'em, but Peter Jackson did a phenomenal job and in so doing introduced a whole new generation to the Tolkien world. Some of the monsters like the Trolls, the Balrog and Shelob were spot-on. Harry Potter Who?

2. Pulp Fiction - I know, I know, not exactly family fare, but this has got to be Tarentino's best work. With so many well known actors, every scene has something you didn't always catch the first time. The reflection on the TV when Fabienne is watching that war movie and wakes Butch up in the hotel - priceless. And Christopher Walken, though he only had a small part, was perfect for his part.

3. Syriana - Again, not for the faint of heart, but every time I see it, I wonder about how real the events in the movie could be. Maybe the storyline was too complex for the average American moviegoer, but who would suggest that the quagmire of the middle east is simple to comprehend?

4. Spy Game - Robert Redford is top notch and Brad Pitt is also excellent. Some of my favorite lines: "If I'm gona walk into a ****-storm, I gota know which way the wind is blowing" and "So are we gona stand here all night with your hand on my ass, or are you gona make your move?"

5. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - This is basically Pulp Fiction, British-style. It doesn't have the intricacies of a Tarentino classic, but it is definitely non-stop suspense. And it manages to keep Statham from doing the Kung-Fu super-here drivel he is now known for.

6. The Outlaw Josey Wales - I know I could list lots of other Clint movies including the Good, Bad & Ugly, but if I had to pick one Spaghetti Western to watch over & over, this would be the one. I don't know exactly why, I guess it just has that Southern rebel outlaw storyline that just seems more honorable than the Cold Mountain tear fests we've had to sit through recently.

7. Se7ven - This has got to be one of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen. Sure there's Hostel and a host of other gore-fests, but this one ratchets up the tension with some incredible acting (Freeman, Pitt), and a storyline by writer Andrew Walker that is incredible. The way John Doe (Spacey) ties up the story and completes his quest is stunning.

8. The Name of the Rose - Religious conspiracy to rival the DaVinci Code? Sean Connery? Medieval castles & swordfighting? Backdrop of the Inquisition? Murder mystery? Historical storyline? Coming-of-age sub-plot? This is a great movie has it all, albeit gruesome at times, but certainly fascinating.

9. Godfather I & II - (don't care too much for III, but the first two are classics). These two I could watch over & over again. If there is anyone out there who still hasn't seen these, then they are missing perhaps the greatest trilogy in American film.

10. (And just so I don't sound like I watch all action films) - Office Space - This is certainly one of the best critiques of the dot-com life I've ever seen; and it's hilarious. Michael Bolton (Herman) rolling up his window and turning down his Hip-Hop tunes at the beginning of the movie is classic comedy. Peter (Livingston) is a classic comedic actor, perfect for the part of a burned out programmer with a cheating girlfriend. Slydel (McGinley) as the efficiency expert could not have been a more perfect fit. "Has anyone ever asked you if you have a case of the Mondays? Naw man..., no way, you'd get you a$$ kicked for saying something like that."

I was going to put Fight Club on the list, but I didn't want people to think I was obsessed with Brad Pitt, although he does know how to act.
