The first two godfathers,I never tire of them.All time best.My favorite make me feel good movie is "BIG" starring Tom Hanks.Breakfast Club is a solid second.Castaway showed how great an actor Hanks is.Anyone ever hear of the movie"Glengarry Glen Ross"??It has an all star cast>Al Pacino,Kevin Spacey,Alec Baldwin,Jack Lemmon,Ed Harris.Its my favorite for the little known category.Most people I ask have never heard of it:confused:I have a nice dedicated home theatre room and love to crank up the volume on action suspense movies.Wifey has to be out shopping though.She doesn't like pictures and glasses falling over:eek:;)

Anyone in sales who hasn't should. That movie is worth it just for the scene with Alec Baldwin. "Coffee is for closers!"

I have to admit that I will watch anything with Will Farrell in it. Anchorman, Talladega Nights, and Stranger than Fiction top the list.

Such a good scene. You know what you need to sell real-estate? YOU NEED BRASS BALLS.

Love the Pacino part too. Especially when he goes off against Kevin Spacey.
Man, I need to see that movie again.

Fun movies to watch:
-The Ref (Dennis Leary is great and Kevin Spacey does a great job as well)
-The Usual Suspects
-Dogma ("Know him? The dude still owes me money.")

I'm not the target audience for this movie, but still think it is a blast after a few (or more than a few) drinks:
-Eurotrip (the "Scotty doesn't know" song throughout is great)

Good, well-made movies:
-A Hard Days Night (set the trend for how concerts were filmed from then on)
-Citizen Kane (as previously mentioned)
-2001
-Full Metal Jacket (far superior, IMHO, to Platoon)
-Dr. Strangelove (okay, okay, I like Kubrick)
-The Last Emperor

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Two other films I forgot to mention. Both tear jerkers:

-Life is Beautiful
-Hotel Rawanda (the true story isn't quite a "noble" and uplifting, but the movie will make you cry)

Shakes the Clown has some pretty funny lines, plus the opening scene with Florance Henderson is priceless. Gotta love how far Mrs Brady fell.

I saw a movie with Jack Lemmon the other day, I think it was called "The Odd Couple". Really brilliant movie, and extremely hilarious :D

I also like "Men of Honour".

GlenGary is the standardbearer of selling.
