Hello everyone,
I have a few favorites, but I encourage you all to check out the site named as the subject of my comment.

I Heart Huckabees
Rushmore
Life Aquatic
Network (greatest movie ever, very pertinent to our time)
Lord of the Rings
Death to Smoochie (very funny Robin Williams and Ed Norton)
Why We Fight (documentary about influence of the MIC on the American life, view for free on site mentioned above)
Bill Hicks Live (late comedian/sociopolitical satirist--Carlinesque)
Mr. Show (favorite show)
Arrested Development (second fav)
UCB
Curb your Enthusiasm

I was surprised to see no one mentioned Network.

Think for yourself. Question authority.

.

I thought I was going to be the only one to suggest it. It is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Free and Brave
or Cradle to Grave
You can't have both

Every episode of the short lived tv show, FIRE FLY is like a liberty bomb, smashing on to the card table, exploding and making everyone jump up, and go "what the heck?!!!!"

They only made 12 episodes. (and the movie "Serenity")

The captain "Mal Reynolds", and his right hand "man" Zoey (a very strong female character)...are ex-military, aka the "browncoats"...who fought the Unification War. The Alliance was attempting to force everyone under one government, including the browncoats, and waged a war to accomplish that end. The series starts off right after The Alliance wins, and they govern all.

Mal and Zoey take to the edges of the star system, where they fly cargo/smuggling runs on their small space ship, "Serenity".

They have additional crew, all individualistic, interesting characters...and they have many adventures, including a few scrapes with The Alliance.

Some might say it was like a western in space. That really never did it any justice. The acting was nearly perfect, the dialog brilliant, the music was awesome...lot's of fiddle, banjo, english horn, guitar with country/irish/indian/asian overtones. Some hilarious moments and some that made you tear up.

All in a universe where you could either be a sheep under The Alliance, or you could call your own shots, with no one guaranteeing you even your life or liberty...your own hands had to provide those things.

Great entertainment. I also second the Errol Flynn pirate movie that someone else mentioned...great flick.

This is a must see in times like these! Peter Seller's last film before he died! Shirley McClain and Melvin Douglas (who won the Oscar for supporting Actor for this film) are awesome too! This movie is so amazingly profound...especially for our times today! Basically, a slow-witted, sheltered, shut-in, played by Sellers, who grows up in Washington DC but has never left his home, is rendered homeless after the death of his father. Due to his father's embarrassment regarding his "slowness" at birth, he has no official birth record and therefore, no "official identity" for that matter. Since no one can prove he is related to the deceased or anyone else (which ironically, ends up to work in his favor), he is thrown out of the house with only his suitcase Prior to that, his only contact with the outside world, for all of his years, has come from the hours he's spent watching the world on television. Hence, his reality, and subsequent naivety of it, is hilariously depicted as he tries to make his way out in the streets. Finally, as "luck" would have it, he is struck by the car of one of the most powerful and influential people in Washington, who, as the plot develops, introduces Seller's character, "Chauncy Gardner" to the President himself! You will have to see it from here so I don't ruin the plot for you! I guarantee that you will love this film! A must see!

"Captain Blood", with Errol Flynn.

Very strong anti-tyranny message, and a pirate movie unlike anything they could produce today.

baseball movies, so I will add
1. "Field of Dreams" -most magical
("If you build it, he will come.")
2. "A League of Their Own" - most heartwarming
("There's no crying in baseball!")
3. "Major League" - most hilarious
("Juuust a bit outside!")
4. "The Natural" - most inspirational
("Pick me out a winner, Bobby")
But there is "Bull Durham", "The Rookie", "8 Men Out", "The Babe Ruth Story", "Pride of the Yankees", "Bang the Drum Slowly", "The Bad News Bears", "The Sandlot", "Mr. 3000", and "Cobb".
