Damn good list...Alot of those movies are among my favorites as well. I have probably watched The Thing more than any other movie...any time I am channel surfing and happen to see The Thing, my channel surfing comes to a screeching halt...One of the best movies ever.
I also agree with your comments on Val Kilmer's role as Doc Holiday...I hate Val Kilmer, and that movie is not one of my all time favs, but he was ing awesome in that movie and did deserve an Oscar IMO.
Would I be off if I guess that Escape from NY is probably among one of your favorites as well? You seem to be a fan of John Carpenter and Kurt Russell...as well as their memorable pairings.
Whottt,
Im the same way about Tombstone as you are for The Thing.
Easily probobly my favorite movie of all time.
Holliday and Russel Same Neil
the soundtrack
Just perfection.
My list of the movies I have watched many times and will probably watch again, in no particular order..
The Good, the Bad, and the Mike Bibby
Treasure of the Sierra Madre - Best movie ever. Period.
The Thing
Hatari
Flight of the Phoenix(The Original)
The Great Train Robbery
Jaws
Rear Window
Silence of the Lambs
The Bone Collector
They Live(The best fight scene in movie history is in this movie)
Zulu
An American Werewolf in London
The NightStalker
El Dorado
The Shining
The Deer Hunter

Patton is an all time classic...and Kellys Heroes too...
I thought it was a good movie but the thing that made it memorable to me was Val Kilmer's portrayal of Doc Holiday...
Talk about a bad ass. Doc Holiday was a dude you did not want to with.

My updated list:

I have watched this movie more than any movie, besides The Wizzard of Oz and It's a Wonderful Life for obvious reasons.
There are to many to name, really.
He was no match for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, they kicked his ass.
Whottt,
Did you see the South Park where they do the fight scene from They Live with Timmy and Jimmy? Absolutely classic. They follow it pretty much blow for blow. It was awesome.
No particular order...
My Fair Lady
Godfather
Gone with the Wind
Much ado about nothing

Blade

LOTR

Desperado
Silence of the Lambs
Matrix
Aladdin
Blues Brothers
Ummm... there's a few more but I'm drawing a blank...
No, I haven't seen it but I'll keep an eye out for it.
What made that scene so awesome was that Piper and Keith David were actually fighting...there was no script or choreography to that fight, they just fought and the only thing they faked were the punches to the head, but all the throws and stuff are real and Keith David actually did win that fight....IMO that's what makes it so realistic and brutal, because it was pretty much real.
Piper will never live down the fact that an actor beat his ass.
