Really Classic Movies....

I'm not sure what inspired me to write about this topic.  Perhaps it was a Back to the Future reference that my wife just made.  Or maybe it was a conversation I had on Facebook reminiscing about college.  It could have been how my son and I made our own movie that was a toy recreation of an episode of one ofmy son's favorite cartoons.  Or maybe it was simply the fact that I have nothing to write about of value, so I had to just pick a random topic.  I'll let you choose. :)  At any rate, here are my top 5 classic movies.  These are movies that are classic in my mind, though not necessarily in the minds of others.  I will attempt to share the reasons that I have come to view these movies as important and memorable.  So here goes nothing!

1. The Princess Bride -- Great movie, great acting, and very funny.
     What makes it classic?  An abundance of quotable lines and great memories of watching it with friends while quoting most every line before the actors said them.
     Best quote: "Anybody want a peanut?"

2. Monty Python and the HolyGrail -- Ridiculously wonderul
     What makes it classic?  More quotable lines and the memory of many friends watching the movie for the first time (I distinctlyremember one person saying, when the movie was all done, "That's the end?"...CLASSIC!)
      Best quote: "It's only a model."

3. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure -- High school "dude" humor
      What makes it classic? Again, very quotable.  Also, it is about the only movie where Keanu Reeves' acting is halfway decent.  Plus, who wouldn't want to go back in time and collect people from history for a report?
       Best quote: "Strange things are afoot at the Circle K."

4. Back to the Future 3 -- Yes, I did choose the third one!  It is by far the funniest!
       What makes it classic? Great quotes.  Touches on pieces of movies 1 and 2.  The old West is just fun, plus the old guy gets the lady!
       Best quote: "Run for fun?!?  What the hell kinda fun is that?"

5. Shadowlands -- I struggled with what to put at #5 because there are so many great movies that belong on this list, but I wanted a non-comedy to round this out.  And Shadowlands is an amazing movie.
       What makes it classic? Great story about C.S. Lewis.  Phenomenal acting.  Good lines.
       Best quote: "He comes in, he sleeps, he leaves.  The plot thickens."

What are your classic movies?  Why?
