Jaws didn't make the list? And none of the Star Wars flicks?

We're starting to get into territory where I'm not going to know as many.

*Blazing Saddles - Not my favorite Mel Brooks, but still great.
*The Godfather: Part II - I need to rewatch these.
*Young Frankenstein - See above.
*Monty Python and the Holy Grail - The only British comedy I really like.
*One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Classic.
*Taxi Driver - Good.
*The Outlaw Josey Wales - Great, and I don't like westerns.
*Rocky - Very good.
Animal House - I don't get this movie. As much as a classic as it is, I've thusfar avoided buying it.
*The Deer Hunter - Don't remember it too well.
*Apocalypse Now - Epic.
*Life of Brian - Haven't seen it yet.
*The Shining - One of my favorites; the only horror movie that I actually find scary.
*The Blues Brothers - Great music.
*Airplane! - So funny.
Raiders of the Lost Ark - Overrated. It's not bad; but meh.
*Das Boot - So boring. And I don't mean that in a bad way. I feel like the movie was intended to make you feel what they were feeling, and it does a great job of that.
*Blade Runner - Overrated... I've seen it twice, and just don't get why everyone loves it.
*The Thing - Really great.
*The Wall - What did I just watch?
*First Blood - Haven't seen it yet.
*The Meaning of Life - Haven't seen it yet.
*Scarface - Haven't seen it yet.
