Although I am sure someone will post a good one that I can't think of right now....

1) 12 Angry Men - The original.
2) Stalag 17
3) Blazing Saddles

I saw someone mentioned Bull Durham. I like that movie a lot too.

Edit: Unforgiven is currently running on TBS. It's probably my favorite Clint western.

And then I talked about it with a friend of mine who had watched it. He has a quirky sense of humor and he told me he laughed his ass off when he watched it...

i liked the bitch though....

such an odd movie.

Yea it's legal because he is not the original Ice Man, that belongs to Vanilla, the King of Rap!!!

I like Val Kilmer he was awesome in Tombstone and Top Gun but man The Saint was just bad, very, very bad.
