    1. Tombstone. never get tired of that one. "I'm coming and Hell's coming with me" Yep, that's me.
    2. Snow Dogs - hubby hates it, I love it.
    3. Shenandoah
    4. To Kill A Mockingbird.
    5. A Few Good Men
    6. Gone With The Wind, yea I'm Southern. "Yankees in Atlanta"
    7. Miss Congeniality "Eyebrows - there should be two" Okay, it's a chick flick.
    8. Major Payne - every Marine should watch this. I sent a copy to my brother's hunt camp and it is now a favorite.
    9. Don't get me started on Mel Brooks. Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and Robin Hood, Men in Tights.
    10. Apocalypse Now.
    11. We Were Soldiers.
    12. The Dirty Dozen

    I could go on and on, but I'll leave this one right there. Some of my favorite things.

    Without a doubt......a great movie. I can't watch it due to the kids being in the house.
    Even Dwight Yoakam's performance was outstanding.

    Yeah Dwight killed it. It is a really profound movie underneath all the funny delivery of the dialog. I like both.

    First time was really amazing- the point of view storming the beach was a hell of a scene. Makes you really thankful towards our greatest generation- truely a time when good triumphed over evil.

    Surprised you didn't mention The Human Centipede 2.
    It gets even better. Have you seen part 3? Let me save you the suspense if you haven't. It sucks.

    6. Gone With The Wind, yea I'm Southern. 

    GWTW is one of my all time favorites. A timeless classic and true masterpiece. If only the wind had not blown everything away. But sadly it did sister. A great movie for sure.

    I always thought Darkman was underrated. Liam Neeson was an underrated ass-kicker back then.

    As far as under rated, I would say Water World. It was a total flop at the box office, but I really liked it.

    Underrated......+1 on Strange Brew but my vote goes to one of my favorites....Joe Dirt!
    All kinds of great comedy in that flick. At the very least watch the scene about the fireworks stand, genius I tell you.

    Movies I have to watch when they are on:
    Any of the Alien movies
    Predator
    Braveheart 
    Tombstone 
    The Princess Bride
    Any old Planet of the Apes movies
    Dumb and Dumber
    Mad Max: Return to Thunderdome
    Hunt for Red October 

    I'm sure there are more.

    If you want a really good tear jerker movie (other than Old Yeller), watch Finding Neverland. I don't tear up at many movies but this one will do it. Great story with an actual plot and all the actors, even the kids, did an excellent job. I'm not a big Johnny Depp fan but he was good in this and I think it was his best role. Your wife/girlfriend will love it. Have tissues handy.

    was clicking through the channels and "A time to kill" came on. I have seen this movie at least 20 times, and have to watch every time I come across it! What's your must watch movie? I have a few more. 

    Godfather I and II
    Tombstone
    The Big Chill

    To name a few
    I'm not sure how underrated the Godfather movies are, most pundits put them as two of the best films ever made. And The Big Chill was nominated for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Screenplay Oscars.

    Tombstone is one of my favorites, and absolutely underrated.

    Two others that are criminally neglected:

    Devil in a Blue Dress and Diggstown. If you liked the ones you listed, you will like both of those.

    If only the wind had not blown everything away.

    Indeed sad, but true @SGH. I have a friend that refers to the Civil War as the "great misunderstanding".

    No votes for Caligula?

    Now that's funny @JohnInCarolina. I actually left the theater half way through the movie and demanded my money back.

    On a lighter note, another great underrated comedy is Amos and Andrew with Nicolas Cage, Samuel L. Jackson, and Dabney Coleman. Ran across that DVD while I was looking for my copy of My Cousin Vinny.
