Too many to think of, this is one category where I don't have a specific favorite. Among action movies, my favorite are The Rock and Bad Boys. Drama is almost certainly American Beauty, awesome movie. Arlington Road is one of the most underrated movies ever. Requiem for a Dream is about the best independent movie ever made. Though it's not technically a movie, it's a miniseries, Band of Brothers. I consider it a 10-hour movie. Apollo 13 comes to mind. Dragonheart is another underrated movie. I'm not a huge fan of comedy movies, I get my fill of that from Comedy Central, That 70's Show, and Loveline. But of course the Austin Powers movies are hilarious, as is There's Something About Mary. Wayne's World! (party time, excellent!) Anyway, I can't think of stuff... my favorite recent movie is 8 Mile. And hey, read a book... Catch-22 is great, funny and so many ludicrous situations, it's like an Abbott and Costello routine every few paragraphs. The Stranger by Albert Camus... so far my favorite book, but you have to read it and understand the implicit as well as the explicit parts, don't just read it and think "This guy is weird...." Hmm... this thread was supposed to be about movies....
