There are a lot of movies that I'd really like to see, as I rarely get out to the theatres, but I have seen a few good ones...(besides The Wall;)
Terms of Endearment
The Mothman Prophecies
Silence of the Lambs
...I'll have to finish my list later, as the old mind is slipping....

Many has mentioned Apocalypse Now and I understand that many people think it's one of the greatest... well my problem is that I have never really understood it and it's boring, nothing special (Soundtrack is good). Many other directors have done so much better movies about human mind. And because no-one has mentioned old movies I think I must:

Phantom Of The Opera (made in 1925)
Most of the Chaplin, Laurel/Hardy and Keaton movies
Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (1922)
Bronenosets Potyomkin

And Airplane! was great comedy.
