OK--trivia time--Did you ever notice--after Oddjob takes off Tilly Masterson's head (that's the sister who shows up to avenge the gal who was painted gold at the beginning), that there's a shot of her and her head separated by some distance (looks like 7-8 feet to me, as I recall) and then when Bond goes to inspect the body head and body are right in line as if still attached?!

Lots of gaffes in Goldfinger.

Oddjob throws hat at statue and the hat is shown to slice head off and keep traveling in straight line; but next shot shows statue head and hat lying on ground next to each other.   lol

still a great flick.   Sean Connery was THE MACK.    Before me of course.

Wow, #2 seems harder than #1! I'd have to say Halloween.

Well, my #1 pick was the second movie in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Two Towers. 
The second favorite movie for me, which I almost chose as #1 is Independence Day.

Different movies on the surface, but both contain a bit of romance, lots of action culminating in the ass kicking of the villains and awesome special effects.

I'd have to go with Star Wars, without a doubt. Saw parts of it when I was standing Shore Patrol in Marseilles. It was in French, so I understood very little of it. Saw it when I got back stateside (Feb 78) and fell in love with the movie. I even have the soundtrack on vinyl......

If I choose Shawshank as #1 (and I said I couldn't choose, and I mean it), then #2 would have to be Godfathers I and II. Please don't make me pick between those two. Can't do it.

Kelly's Heroes.  If you've ever seen it, you know why.

Same here....

Best line in the entire movie:  Big Joe talking to the German officer,

"We're not worried about the German army, we have enough troubles of our own. To the right, General Patton; to the left, the British army; to the rear, our own ******* artillery; and besides all that, it's raining; and the only good thing to say about the weather, it keeps our Air Corp from blowing us all to hell, because it's too lousy to fly!"

Oddball and his Shermans, priceless!

Liberals are like Slinkys.  Basically useless, but they do bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs...
 
Global warming supporters believe that a few hundred million tons of CO2 has more control over our climate than a million mile in diameter, unshielded thermo-nuclear fusion reactor at the middle of the solar system.

Cindie, I have Lion in Winter on my DVR, and can you believe I haven't watched it yet?  Maybe tonight; husband's golfing.
