Mine are the Lord of the Rings Trilogy but I would also have:

Cape Fear
The Shining
Twin Peaks (Fire Walk with me)
Thelma and Louise
Shirley Valentine

Reading this list has me thinking that I like Shlogcky type films-this is by no means a definitive list and gets changed all the time but these came to mind.
I think I'm going to get some comments re misogyny but I did enjoy all of these films, subject matter aside!

Mind you,Thelma,Louise and Shirley-hardly woamn haters,eh!

I agree about Andie Macdowell too. And the outfit Hugh Grant is wearing when he bumps into her on the south bank (floppy shirt, too-short shorts and loafers with no socks) made me lol when I last saw the film. Sexy? Don't think so
