The Green mile is another fav I haven't seen mentioned yet.

[MeatintheFreezer]

I didn't want to be the first to say it, but my guilty pleasure movie is without a doubt Talladega Nights. It doesn't matter if I just finished watching it, if it comes on again I have to sit and watch it again. I laugh every time.

And I saw Major League mentioned, Bob Euker made that movie! His one liners are hilarious.
