Life of Brian Holy Grail MST3K The Movie Butch Cassady and the Sundance Kid Any of the Granada Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett Blazing Saddles I saw Grease more than ten times as a kid, but would not gladly see it again today, so it doesn’t count. TopazAntares - You’ve seen Holy Grail but not Life of Brian yet? Whooo hooo, are you in for a treat! Life of Brian is my favorite Python ever. I watched it again just a few days ago, and even though I know it all by heart it still makes me laugh out loud every time. Lucky you to still be on the brink of discovering it for the first time! ---

You’ve had yours under first one and then the other!”) Not a scripted line! Back to the Future (all three, #3 is good tho) Big Trouble in Little China (“it’s all in the wrist.” Mortal Kombat I’ll also stop on a Jackie Chan movie on the Dish, just for the fight scenes. ---
