    Favorite Movies

    So one of the other threads somewhere asked for favorite TV shows...if this has been asked forgive me. How about five favorite movies?

    (No Particular order)
    1) Jurrasic Park
    2) Raiders of the Lost Ark
    3) Casablanca
    4) Star Wars
    5) Any disaster movie (I know that's a cop out, but damn do I like them)
    The survival of everyone on board depends on just one thing: finding someone on board who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner.

    The story I hear is that they are making a Goonies 2...I know don't know if I should be scared or happy about that.

    Death Hag film collection?

    I thought I'd start a thread on the "must haves" for one's "Death Hag" collection. Mind you - all these must be based on true stories and about death and dying.

    NO FICTIONAL FILMS. (you can always start another thread about those!)

    Here's a few off of the top of my head - all documentaries:

    1. Jonestown: Life & Death of the People's Temple
    2. A Certain Kind of Death
    3. Death in Hollywood
    4. When the Applause Died
    5. A Family Undertaking
    6. The Bridge
    7. Dearly Departed

    I'll post more when I think of them.

    Anyone care to add?
