Spinal Tap is a classic. That doesn’t belong in your list. Neither does Still Smoking or Reservoir Dogs.
If your friends give you crap for watching those movies, it means that THEY are the ones that have no taste in movies.
If anything, I give my friends shit for watching and loving terrible romantic comedies, movies starring shitty actors, or totally unoriginal movies.
On a related note, I’m watching Porky’s tonight for the first time.
WHAT??? A movie freak like you never saw Porky’s??? It’s not April Fools.[/quote]
Well, when it came out originally, I was too young to see it and my parents said ‘no’. I just never got around to seeing it. 20+ years go by and I’m at Blockbuster looking for something to rent and I see it on the shelf and it dawns on me that I still haven’t seen it.
I meant to watch it last night, but I ended up watching Wanted and X-Files. I’ll watch it tonight.

Porky’s was the first R-Rated movie that I ever saw in a movie theater, when I was 15. My friends and I weren’t allowed in at first, since we were under age, but these older guys said that we were with them, so we got in.
I still love that movie. I’m absolutely amazed that you haven’t seen it, vader.

I have used this phrase many times.
I have never seen Strarship Troopers in its entirety.
The first Transporter had awesome fight choreography.
And…a lot of people didn’t like Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy but I think it ranks up there with 1984 and Catch-22 as one of the greatest social commentaries of our time.
EDIT:
Does anyone remember that Woody Allen film where he wakes up in the future, and there are these plantations that grow massive vegetables? There was also a household ‘booth’ where people went to experience orgasms or something. It was a hilarious movie and I don’t know the name…goddamnit.
