    How old are they?

    80s
    Raising Arizona (one of my favorite Coen Brothers movies)
    The Terminator
    Raiders of the Lost Ark & Last Crusade
    Ferris Bueller's Day Off & Sixteen Candles
    Stand By Me & Goonies & The Lost Boys

    90s
    The Terminator 2: Judgment Day
    The Usual Suspects
    Reservoir Dogs & Pulp Fiction
    Fargo & The Big Lebowski
    Groundhog Day
    Three Kings

    I think these are all great films. Were they the best? I don't know, but I enjoy watching them and have watched all over and over again. :smt023

    I was waiting for you movie buff. They're 14 and 16. I forgot about Ferris Bueller and Lost Boys(they need to see a good vamp flick. Fuck twilight)
    I'm with you on Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs but Three Kings? Really?

    Ah, then they'd probably like most of what's on my list (Usual Suspects, Fargo, Three Kings might not be up their alley at that age).

    Yeah, Three Kings is a great flick. The performances are great and it really sheds light on stuff that happens over there. I think it's one of George Clooney's better films. (Strictly my opinion, of course, LOL)

    I'd say Ocean's 11 for Clooney myself and Walburgh did his best work in Boogie Nights and Ice Cube.... maybe Boyz In The Hood but I don't give credit to actors who play themselves though lol

    Love these also, I probably would still cry if I watched Stand by Me again. I had a huge crush on Keifer Sutherland in The Lost Boys.

    Forgot about Weird Science. Great movie. Robert Downey Jr was a frickin tool in that one.
