Ha! I'll never forget going to see "Young Frankenstein" at a Drive-in back in the early 70's and another film started playing before it as a double-feature. It was one of the funniest things I had ever seen with this red-headed guy I'd never seen and I marveled at its level of incredible wit and intelligence. Of course it was "Take The Money and Run," which I think to this day is one of the funniest movies ever made (especially if you were a fan of "Cool Hand Luke" and the other movies it parodied). And "Life Of Brian?" Comedic masterpiece! Great list!

Favorite movies change with the seasons in my life so I will pass. But I consider the "Dude" the greatest character created in Hollywood. Not a bad choice there. "Burn after reading" not bad in my book.

Local Hero
Sherlock, Jr.
Lord of the Rings Trilogy

This was really hard.

I'm such a Tolkien nerd that when I see a profile with the abbreviation "seeking LTR" all I think of is, "Lord of The Rings".
