    Not sure I have 7....

    For sure
    The Fast and Furious (Part 1)
    Moneyball
    Field of Dreams
    Summer Catch

    Probably
    Rocky 4
    Rambo 2

    7th?....not sure. Any baseball movie,some other sports (Tin Cup?), Matrix, Shawshank, Marvels stuff, probably some more. But those first 4 I watch fairly often.

    Good picks. I almost went with Shawshank--if it was a top 10 list instead of top 7 it would be there. Mine:

    Lawrence of Arabia
    The Godfather
    My Cousin Vinny
    Casablanca
    Caddyshack
    The Quiet Man
    It's A Wonderful Life

    Do the Police Academy movies count as one, or do you have to count all seven individually? Asking for a friend.

    Well they'll all be Harry Potter movies, but which ones...
    People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

    I've observed there's a lot of overlap in my taste in music and film with many others here.

    You guys should be really worried.

    Tougher to do this than the music I think, but here goes:

    Guardians of the Galaxy (I think it's now federal law there has to be a Marvel film on every best film list)
    The Godfather
    Tremors (hard to not put Tremors II on here too)
    Smokey and the Bandit
    The Quiet Man (my fav John Wayne movie, honestly I could just do 7 of his films and be happy)
    Kill Bill Part I
    Tucker A Man and His Dream


    Honorable mentions to Groundhog Day and Caddyshack, both above and both on my favs list.

    Re: Favorite 7 films

    Here's my serious 7 list:

    The Godfather
    The Quiet Man
    The Manchurian Candidate
    Dr. Strangelove
    His Girl Friday (barely beating out Bringing up Baby, super tough choice)
    Star Wars
    Apocalypse Now

    Last out: The Searchers, Patton, Empire Strikes Back, Kill Bill 1

    OK, that's my real final list. This was a tough one.

    I'm going a little away from more classics to ones I think are deserving of being at that level, very underrated types (mostly) with a nod to an all time or two.

    Saving Private Ryan
    My Cousin Vinnie
    Blues Brothers
    12 Angry Men
    Hoosiers
    Blazing Saddles
    Forest Gump

    Honorable mentions include K-24 the Widowmaker, A Time to Kill (possibly my all-time favorite), Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Fast Times at Ridgemont High (I'm not kidding), Schindler's List, Bull Durham and Field of Dreams.

    I considered Fast Times as well as Saving Private Ryan and Vacation. Definate honorable mentions, along with Caddy shack 2. Can't top that Jackie Mason performance!

    I was made to watch Old Yeller with my class in 4th grade. When they killed him, I was so distraught the teacher called my grandmother and I went home early from school. Then I missed 2 more days. I am still traumatized. It has been almost 40 years!
