Maddog, the Terminator sequels are some of your favorite movies? There is only ONE sequel to Terminator that has been released. How can Terminator 3 be one of your favorite movies if they still haven't finished making it?

Mine are Raiders of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future, Highlander, Gladiator and a few more.

I have always considered Dances With Wolves one of the strongest films I've seen. *It still moves me when I watch it. *I just saw Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for the second time, the first being when it played in the theatres, and I still can't get over how it moved me, in a SW and LOTR type of way. *I am currently awestruck by that film. *Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino, T2, Titanic, Abyss, Alien and Aliens, Contact, Forrest Gump, Rain Man, Star Trek 2, 4, 6, and maybe 9; All the Indiana Jones' films, 1941, Pearl Harbor, White Men Can't Jump, Fight Club, The Usual Suspects, American Beauty, Jaws, Close Encounters, Shindler's List, Minority Report, Lion King, Lady & the Tramp, The Jungle Book, Beauty & the Beast, Jurassic Park 1, 2, and okay 3 but not nearly as much as 1, The Suicide Kings, Mr. Saturday Night, Coming to America, Airplane, Airport 75, Ben Hur, Ten Commandments, Planet of the Apes (original), Earthquake, Towering Inferno, Posiden Adventure, Crimson Tide, A Few Good Men, The Firm, 12 Monkeys, Interview With a Vampire, American History X, Primal Fear...man the list could go on, but those are the ones that are strong in my memory and my heart, the ones that really moved me with emotion and/or excitement. *Plus, True Lies, Total Recall, Predator, Gladiator, Jerry McGuire.

My favorites include Armageddon, Titanic, The Rock, The Matrix, The Princess Bride, Baseketball, Shawshank Redemption, Slap Shot, the Goonies, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Shrek, the Alien movies (except #3...yuck!) and the Indiana Jones Movies. Oh yeah...and Steven King's "The Stand"...but that was more of a mini-series.

among an enormously long list of others, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, and Pearl Harbor and Minority report. To write a comprehesive list would take days and pages.
