> I know there are a lot of movie fans on the forum and I was wondering what everyone's favorite films are. Below are some categories with my selections in them, and maybe you will know some other good movies I should check out. I don't mind if you have a couple of favorites for some categories, just make a list...

>
> Drama/Suspence:

>

> I've seen a few movies lately that I flat-out didn't like. Namely, there are a few somewhat recent films that tried to be witty but just weren't. They get a special category of their own, which I have titled...
>
> Movies That You Never, Ever Want To See -- Trust Me:
> - Big Trouble
> - Hollywood Ending
> - Mission to Mars
>
> There's also another category for movies that I haven't seen yet, but want to:
> - Spider-Man
> - Small Time Crooks
> - City Slickers
> - Bean
> - There's Something About Mary
> - The Fast and the Furious

> As an additional note, probably the funniest scene ever caught on film is the Adolf Hitler scene in the movie Rat Race. I just saw this last weekend and laughed my tail off. The rest of the movie is just above mediocre, but that scene was worth it. Another average movie with an extremely funny scene (actually this movie had a few of them) is Rocketman. I thought the movie was just some dumb kids comedy (which it is), but the sketches were put together ingeniously and the timing is perfect. Lastly, the 1992 John Ritter comedy Stay Tuned was extremely stupid and cheesy but the TV/movie parodies are classic.

But did you see "Best of Show?" I did, and it was the dumbest of the dumb movies. It out-dumbed "Dumb and Dumber." It was about dog shows and I am not a dog person. The people in it were dumb. The movie was dumb. Even the dumb dogs were dumb. I laughed my head off. Dumb is just my speed. One big greasy thumbs up.
