I'm going through a phase at the mo of buying dvds on trademe once every couple of weeks and I want some cool ones to buy..
So I wondered whats some of your fav movies?
Some of mine are:
- Shawshank Redemption
- Love Actually
- Saving Private Ryan
- Forrest Gump
I like war movies and ones that actually have a plot but some chick flicks are really good too.

- Wag the Dog. It's a great movie!
- Memento
- Letters from Iwo Jima
- Flags of our Fathers
These 2 were directed by Clint Eastwood , one is through the eyes of the US and the other is through the eyes of the Japanese.
ETA: Ooooh Princess Bride rocks too

I have that movie too and I have tried to watch it so many times and just cannot get into it 
I have heard so many great things about it too. Maybe I should sit down again and try it again!

La vita e bella (life is beautiful) is my favourite movie of all-time so I must recommend it! Any movies with Roberto Benigni are fab!

We have a vaaaast collection too (and never know what to watch).
Definitely Amelie! :D And in the same vein, City of Lost Children.
Others I keep going back to: Office Space, Tommy Boy, Usual Suspects, Labyrinth, Princess Bride, Willow, (these are popular huh!) Ladyhawke, Big Fish, Totoro, Spirited Away, Collateral, Role Models (which is brilliant).
And my (not so secret) shame, Disney movies - everything from the Little Mermaid on. ;)

I heart the old Disney movies - The Lion King etc. The newer ones just aren't as cool (or maybe I'm getting old  ).
I also like The Green Mile Glow, and in a similar vein, The Shawshank Redemption.
Willie says I have to say Once Were Warriors and Utu
