More that haven't been mentioned The Royal Tenenbaums Fargo Platoon Dazed and Confused misses the cut, solely due to Mitch.
A Few Good Men Terminator 2 In think that's it. I'd have at least 10 more if I were listing ones that were "close". Probably more like 20 in fact. No accounting for taste, but I only saw There Will Be Blood once, and I did finish it, but dang it just seemed so slow. Couldn't get into it.
Election, definitely. Which reminds me...I also consider About Schmidt a perfect movie, and possibly also The Descendants.
many of these have been named but my list would be something like: Big Lebowski Blues Brothers Pulp Fiction Raising Arizona Caddy Shack Stripes Fargo Godfather Empire Strikes Back apocalypse now Fight Club
Good call. This one was so well done. It hit home to road warriors the same way The Wrestler hit home to former wrestlers.
Saving Private Ryan. Casino. Field of Dreams( especially the ending. Part of that could be my parents were divorced when I was 9 and never saw my dad much after that)
