and music by Elmer Bernstein, who also did the incredibly evocative music for To Kill a Mockingbird. Elmer also did the music for "Animal House", and it's one of the things that makes it great.

Trading Places was, indeed, very funny! So was Beverly Hills Cop. "Axel Foley."

And that reminds me of Coming to America with Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall.

Life is Beautiful, always makes me tear up when I watch it.I appreciated the film as a representation of a dreadful time in history, but Begnini's over-the-top tone did not do it for me. Two other films depicting that period were very meaningful to me: The Pianist with Adrien Brody -- I think he may have won an Oscar for that -- and Julia, based on a WWII novel by Lillian Hellman.
And there is also the lovely 1970 Vittorio de Sica film about the ominous rise of fascism as affecting the Italian upper classes, many of whom were Jewish: The Garden of the Finzi-Continis.

I admit Life is Beautiful had some plot holes you could drive a tank through. I certainly understand why it wasn’t some people’s cup of tea.
To: Albion Wilde
Goodbye, Lenin! is in my Top Five List. Another movie that will make you laugh and cry.
To: nickcarraway
Some that hold up for me:
One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
The Good The Bad and The Ugly
Once Upon A Time In the West
The Music Man
Picnic
Outlaw Jose Wales

A criminally overlooked movie IMHO, is Billy Wilder’s “One, Two, Three”, with one of the greatest comedic performances put on film, by James Cagney.
To: free_life
Oh gosh, What About Bob is a hoot.
To: wally_bert
YES!
I would also add these 9:
Wuthering Heights
Jaws
It’s a Wonderful Life
Disney’s Cinderella
The Encounter (Christian film)
Hans Christian Anderson
The Omen
Grease
A Bronx Tale
Maybe not the greatest, but ranking high in my favorites!
To: wally_bert
I remember that movie. That stunk...
Still, Id rather watch that than Shawshank or Pulp Fiction.

Lawrence of Arabia, Dr. Strangelove, Ben Hur, Forbidden Planet, 10 Commandments, On the Waterfront, The Hustler, Marty, Longest Day, so many others. I'll go with Lawrence of Arabia, Dr. Strangelove, Forbidden Planet, On the Waterfront, ... but then Duck Soup ( or Night at the Opera ), 2001 ( for sure ) , The Godfather, Pinocchio, Caddyshack ... how about Frozen ? ( The kids love it, and it is good ! )
There are a lot of good movies!, Yeah, Wizard of Oz has to be in there! ... Ghostbusters! ... Unforgiven! ...

"...I see that Megaforce didnt make the list - bummer. Hopefully someone else will get a laugh..."
Megaforce is deadly serious.
There is nothing funny about Megaforce.
