notable ommissions: wall street, hoosiers, fear and loathing. and how about caddyshack over, say, what about bob? and like jeff said shawshank has to be on there, even top 10 consideration. forrest and scarface should be way further up the list. and everyone knows that star wars should be #1.. on the worst of all time list!!
haha. you know you love the jedis and wizards!
karate kid is a great call - forgot that one. i did have over 130 on my original list, but you just can't keep them all, ya know?
