    What are your favorite movies, say, 20 years are older?

    Right up there for me are:

    A Few Good Men
    Shawshank Redemption
    Coming To America
    Rocky
    Schindler's List
    Almost Famous
    You've Got Mail
    One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
    The Godfather

    OK, this one is no classic, but my wife and I are planning on watching Capricorn One this evening.
