So I was looking through my VHS collection and stumbled onto some old hidden gems that some of the new age kids might have never heard of.
This thread is to post some movies you would put in your favs list keep it to one movie per post and try to include a movie poster and the movies summary so that others might read it and decide if they want to watch it.
A sarcastic humanoid duck is pulled from his homeworld to Earth where he must stop an alien invader.

Summary? amm... kids are out for adventure. It's a must watch, why spoil the surprise if you have not seen this movie.
Dracula is trying to take over the world, recruits other legendary monsters and there's a scary German guy. Seriously, a fun watch, especially if you have kids.
Summary: These guys are pretty dumb, and it's funny.
Archeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones is hired by the US government to find the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis do.
A young boy joins a group of renegade dwarves on an unpredictable journey through time in this humorous fantasy
Never get tired of it.
The first violent movie I ever saw.
No description needed.
Perfection.
anyways-
It's Elia Kazan, it's in color, it's widescreen and it's one of three movies James Dean took part in before his premature death. A great serious watch.
My first introduction to a "you lose" ending.
Fight Club.
It was great seeing Brad Pit actually act for the first time in his career. Had a good few good messages too, even if its hard for some to figure it out. "Is that your blood?" "Some of it, yeah."
Shawshank Redemption.
"His first night in the joint, Andy Dufresne cost me two packs of cigarettes. He never made a sound."
The Usual Suspects.
It's always good to see a story unfold knowing the whole time something wasn't quite right, something was off. Then have the story flipped on its head.
Momento.
Great story telling, clever plot twists.
Wow, dude. That looks amazing!
So, I'm pretty sure it doesn't get better than this.
Er, not much to say. Still makes me grin like an idiot everytime
Lovely guns, sexy Sulaco, love the drop ship, the APC... the marines... Ripleys lovely hair... oh the powerloader.... did I forget the aliens??
oops how could I forget this?
The only one really to shout about.
Can't wait to get my hands on the bluray versions.
Kick wolfman in the nards!
Wolfman don't got nards!
KICK HIM IN THE NARDS ANYWAYS!
2nd Place:
I first saw this on a plane ride as a teen. I had no idea what it was, and I fell in love. I probably know every line in this movie. I know... I know... not real life, etc. Pure entertainment, for me... with a kick-ass soundtrack. I love Hackers.
RISC is good
Deckard, a blade runner, has to track down and terminate 4 replicants who hijacked a ship in space and have returned to earth seeking their maker.
Edward Scissorhands
it's horrible.. but I've probably watched it more times than any other movie.
Favorite since I was a kid. Sadly, they decided to actually make sequels of it *facepalm*
& many mentioned here already.
Richards: Go for it. Won't show on this shirt...
One of the best car chases this side of The French Connection:
And of course, best gun shoot-out ever.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. Time to die."
From, of course:
Excalibur. A retelling of the King Author tale, and by my viewpoint. The best. The music score as well fits it to a dime.

Definitely one of the greatest adventure movies ever and Studio Ghibli's best in my opinion.
I've probably seen JAWS around 100 times or more, and I never get bored of it when I still watch it. Best movie by far.
Beautiful graphics, beautiful music, what more can you ask.
(is it just me or is that video flipped horizontally?)
It's very cool and I guess it's a nod to the book.
otherwise
balls out terror that inspired dead space. A rescue crew investigates a spaceship that disappeared into a black hole and has now returned...with someone or something new on-board. sunshine is a close second though and a bucket load of ghibli
and
and of course...
