    I had Ghostbusters memorized. I loved Police Academy. Coming to America and Trading Places were also favorites. Christmas Vacation is still in my regular Christmas rotation. The Untouchables is one of my favorites. I also liked Rain Man and E.T.

        Spaceballs, Bill and Ted's, and This is Spinal Tap.

        Did not see it at the time, but The Mission was also very good.

          By sheer volume: Major League. I would watch this movie, with a group of teammates/friends, before every baseball game from the time it came out until, I graduated from HS.

          Trading Places was one I didn't see mentioned.

              Forgot that one. That's another that I pretty much still have memorized from start to finish.

                I noticed a couple of French movies on the Imdb list, Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources. These were both excellent and I highly recommend them as some of the best French cinematic fare I have seen.

                    I forgot to mention the original National Lampoon's Vacation.

                      A few that haven't been noted.

                        Footloose, mainly because I went a saw it in Clarksville, TN and didn't know it was made in Utah County. Sitting in the theater, when I realized where it had been made, it brought back good memories of home. The movie itself was just ok.

                        I may be small, but I'm slow.

                          Robocop was pretty cool back in the day.

                            I've seen this list on FB several times in the last few days. How many of these films have you seen? I've seen 73.25 - I've never heard of Labyrinth before, and I've seen bits and pieces of the Ninja Turtle movie on cable over the years, but have never watched it for more than 5 minutes in a row.

                              TMNT was great. I watched it this weekend, and it kind of reminded me of when I was a kid, except I didn't have a wife rolling her eyes at me then.
                              Not that, sickos.
