    How could I have forgotten Silence of the Lambs? That was a good movie.

    I've been meaning to watch that...I'm into that historical stuff, and HBO usually does such a great job.

    I second @greshamdisco on Chernobyl. It's really compelling. I think it's really a good time to do a subject like that because the CGI/FX have gotten good enough to show how effed up the radiation and it's effects were...though it can be gnarly at times to watch.

    I was thinking during one of the early episodes that it was almost like a horror/postapocalyse movie but instead of zombies or supernatural stuff it was the fallout and radiation. Since it was the Soviets you had the mindblowingly/frustratingly dumb decisions of a horror movie too. And yet it is based on real events.

    I know Band of Brothers is a Mini series but that is by far my favorite produced anything. Love it.

    Let me try my hand at this. Movie preferences should be broken up by genre. Me, well, I'm a comedy guy. Comedy movies, to me, are almost not even real movies. Still my favourites and top movies vary.
    Favourite dramas/ action films
    Inglorious Basterds
    Goodfellas
    The Iceman
    Fargo
    The Untouchables 
    Flight
    Comedy: 
    40 year olds virgin 
    Knocked up
    Funny people [probably my favorite] don't @me
    Walk Hard (The Dewy Cox Story) the best bs film ever made
    Step Brothers

    Great thread .. here are 4 great movies I haven't seen mentioned..older but still great .
    Shane ... Jack Palance was great
    The Wild Bunch ...too grafic for John Wayne
    One Eyed Jack's.. great revenge story , Brando starred in it and directed it.
    Cat on a Hot Tin Roof .... young Liz Taylor, Paul Newman and a stellar performance by Burl Ives.

    fitzdawg. Walk Hard, This Is Spinal Tap and Best In show are all great mock-umentaries. This Is Spiral Tap gets my nod because it's great, it mocks a real and also great musical documentary ( The Last Waltz) and it was very original.

    Someone mentioned Once Upon a Time in the West, good one only movie that Fonda played a bad guy. Another long one that I always have to watch is Ben Hur
