@azlotto Thank you for that memory of the Outlaw Josey Wales. I never actually saw it, but lied to my mom that I was going to see it and snuck out to meet a boy. Hey, I was 16, what can I say.

@PretentiousArtist I have that on DVD. One of the worst ever!
Best line (by the gf, as he walks thru the door) “Baby, you got two of anything else I should know about?”

WaitForMe's avatar

I liked “Shampoo”, “Butterflies are Free”, “The Way We Were” and “What’s Up Doc?”

thriftymaid's avatar

There were a lot of them, but I remember The Paper Chase as a favorite.

SuperMouse's avatar

@WaitForMe Butterflies are Free! Little Edward Albert and his “shadow vision,” Goldie Hawn as the free spirited neighbor and Eileen Heckart in her Oscar winning role! That was truly a good movie!

I can’t believe I forgot Breaking Away! I lurve, lurve, lurve that movie.

Oh and Billy Jack, the best movie ever made about a bad ass pacifist kicking ass with some amazing Hapkido! Not to mention the coolest theme song ever.
