Those P&N regulars:

[Orsorum]

What're your favorite movies? I'm curious to see some of the viewing habits of our more well-informed politicos.

Mine:
12 Angry Men
Shawshank Redemption
LOTR - the entire series,

Still working on my list. Let me know what you got!

Cheers!
Nate

Dr. Strangelove
Ferris Buehlers Day Off
A Clockwork Orange

 

[Gaard]

Independence Day - President flying a fighter jet...what great fiction.

 

[heartsurgeon]

Dr. Strangelove (the original NeoCon movie!)
Casablanca (stunning in its simplicity, the scene where Bogart reads the message and the rain (?tears, but a real man doesn't..) washes it away)
Ferris Buehlers Day Off
Caddyshack (possibly more complex and multi-level than the Bible)
To Catch A Thief (Oh my God, Grace Kelly is smokin hot....when the fireworks explode outside the hotel window...yahoo!!!)
Some Like it Hot (possibly the funniest movie of all time)
Gentleman Prefer Blondes (if the previous movie isn't the funniest, then this one is)
Office Space (Lumberg with a coffee mug in his hand doing Jennifer Aniston...classic)
Blade Runner (wonderful, dark)
Dune (original version with Sting, I particularly like the "heart plug" that the Harkonen have implanted)

Someday You'll have to tell me why this is considered "the greatest movie ever made" by the critics? I'll probably never understand but it's worth a shot.
