I would put definitely find room for "Ladyhawke" on that list, and put "Princess Bride" much higher. But who cares what I think? I'm noone of consequence.

"Raising Arizona" is one of my alltime favorites! A very funny movie.

Yea, and what about Forrest Gump? I mean the guy has this crush on Jenny, names his shrimp boat after her and everything and after she makes love to him she leaves and he starts running and dosn't stop for 3 and half years and then she comes back and he marries her and then she dies. I mean, I cry every time I watch it!
