    Top Ten Spy Flicks

    From Russia with Love
    The Ipcress File
    The Spy Who Came In From the Cold
    Three Days of the Condor
    Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
    Smiley's People (OK I like LeCarre)
    The Man Who Knew Too Much
    Our Man Flint
    Goldfinger
    Topaz

    That's the biggest reason to be sad about the end of the cold war - no more villainous commies to spy against!

    Silence of the Lambs is the scariest movie that I have ever seen. Movies that mess with your head are much worse than those that mess with your stomach.

    Ok... I defer to your all's expertise here, but Top 10 most quotable movies....

    I think Princess Bride and Swingers are up in the Top 10, but coming up with 8 others is going to be difficult.

    I'm thinking Caddyshack, Fletch and Office Space would find a place on that list...

    10 Highly Quotable Movies (if this isn't an indicator of age...;) ), in no particluar order:

    Big Lebowski
    Swingers
    Dumb and Dumber
    Office Space
    Caddyshack
    Meet The Parents
    Zoolander
    Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
    Road Trip
    Dazed and Confused

    There are probably some that I am just forgetting right now, but these jump right out at me.

    --- Ah yes, the whole Austin Powers series, but that is more pop culture than anything else at this point

    lol; "You're gonaa play tennis...with GOD..."

    This was one of the gems of that period; a really great film that caught Keaton (real name Michael Douglas, but SAG already had one of those) at the peak of his comedic powers...

    Not necessarily the best quotes from my 10, but oft quoted ones:

    Big Lebowski
    -- "You're killing your father Larry!"
    Swingers
    -- "I'm going make Gretztky's head bleed or Superfan #99 over here"
    Dumb and Dumber
    -- "Hey Guys...Big Gulps huh? Welp, see you later!"
    Office Space
    -- "Samir, this isn't Rihad, they aren't going to cut off your hand!"
    Caddyshack
    -- "So I got that going for me, which is nice"
    Meet The Parents
    -- "Um, my portfolio is strong...to quite strong."
    Zoolander
    -- "Richard Gere is a hero of mine. Sting. The music that he makes, I don't really listen to it. But the fact that he's making it, I respect that."
    Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
    -- "Dude, remember that time I asked your Mom to the prom?"
    Road Trip
    -- "''Cause it's YOUR DOG!"
    Dazed and Confused
    -- "It'd be a lot cooler if you did!"

    10 Crappy Sequels

    In no particular order:

    1. Caddyshack 2
    2. Jaws the Revenge
    3. Major League 2
    4. Star Wars 1 -PM
    5. Rambo 3
    6. Rocky 5
    7. Karate Kid 2
    8. Karate Kid 3
    9. The Next Karate Kid

    I believe these 'franchises' would have been alot better off if they stayed out of the studio for these.
