Apollo 13
Das Boot (German submarine drama set during WW2 - gives an insight as to how the other side lived and one of the best submarine films ever made)
The Hunt For Red October
M*A*S*H - both series and film versions, though the series is better in my opinion.
The World is not Enough - best Bond film of recent years
Good Morning Vietnam - both funny and moving
Enemy at the Gates
Silver Streak - used to watch this all the time when I was younger, still need to buy a set of streamliner coaches....

These are all I can think of at the moment, but that's probably a representative sample of my DVD collection!

Here's a few that I can watch again and again.

Dumb and Dumber
Meet the Parents
Trains, Planes and Automobiles
Uncle Buck
Seabiscuit
Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
A Night at the Roxbury
Shawshank Redemption

Those are a few that come to mind right off the bat, you can probably tell I'm a big fan of the comedy genre.

Ta462, actually mines a 68, It was black until I tore it down, It's going to sport a 402 CID big block and RS hidden headlights and probably be painted black again with a white SS bumble bee stripe on the nose. I have owned the car 17 years. First car I ever bought.

[Anonymous]

Matt and TA462 How can not mention Bullitt with the chase scene?

Better off Dead removed any doubt that I should paint my '67 RS/SS black with a white stripe.
