One of my absolute favorite movies that you probably haven't seen is "In Bruges", a comedy/drama about two hit men hiding out in Belgium.  Stars Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleason and Ralph Fiennes, who are all terrific.  I stumbled across it a few years ago on cable and couldn't believe I'd never heard of it.

Just one?

How about:   RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY (Western)
                    SINGIN' IN THE RAIN (Musical)
                    BLADE RUNNER  (Sci-Fi/cop/love story)
                    THE KILLING FIELDS (Buddy flick/political/war movie)
                    TANGLED (Animated feature)
                    THE GENERAL (Silent classic w/Buster Keaton)
                    TWO FOR THE ROAD (Romantic Comedy)
                    BABE (Animated feature)

...enough.

Start with The Producers (1967), Blazing Saddles, and See No Evil Hear No Evil,
Then The Toy and Brewsters Millions,
Then Stripes, National Lampoon's Vacation and Spaceballs,
Then Strange Brew, My Blue Heaven and Ghost Busters
Then Trading Places, Spies Like Us, the Blues Brothers, and Tommy Boy,
Then Black Sheep, Billy Madison, and Airheads,
Then Encino Man, Monkeybone and School Ties,
Then Shakespeare in Love, Clerks II, Good Will Hunting, and Dogma,
Then Oceans 11 and Team America:World Police,
Then Beetlejuice and the Royal Tenenbaums,
Then Anchorman, Zoolander and The Cable Guy,
Then Ferris Bueller's Day Off, War Games, and end with The Producers (2005).

After that, life will have come full circle, and there will be no reason to watch anything else again.  Ever.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

Great film.  I wanted to visited Bruges afterwards.  Bruges made an appearance on House Hunters International and my wife and I were guessing they were fans of the movie.

Everyones tastes are different, but mine are:

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)- about adjusting to civilian life after the war.
Gentleman's Agreement (1947) - about anti-semitism
On the Water Front (1954) - about a corrupt longshoreman

All Best Pictures by the way.

It is a great movie. Went to Bruges this past year, and watched the movie again upon returning. Was a lot of fun to see all the touristy sites they filmed.

Bruges is a great city by the way, despite what Colin Farrell's character says  ;)
