5)Smokey and the Bandit
6)Caddy Shack
7)Cannonball Run
8)The Matrix
9)Evil Dead II & Army of Darkness(Hell, almost anything with Bruce)
10)Robocop
11)Almost All the Dirty Harry movies
12)Predator
13)Slapshot(the greatest hockey movie of all time :mrgreen: )
14)The Connery Bond films

Dodgeball

Also, there are only two movies in my movie collection. Zoolander and Kung Pow. The rest of the movies? Eh. I'll watch them if I ever get cable and get Turner Classic Movies again. I don't have to go looking for those movies.
