My second choice is First Contact, depending wether I feel for TOS or TNG
> > > > > Best Star Wars movie: > > Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope > > Empire. I'd rate ANH as third, just after Jedi. (the Episode 1-3 batch will remain a separate movie series in my mind, probably until 2006, so if you're talking "Star Wars movies", I automatically think of ANH, ESB, and ROTJ.) > > > Best James Bond movie: > > Goldfinger > > That's a tough one. I'd have to say worst was Moonraker, but the best one? Probably On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but it's been so long since I've sat down and watched all the movies, they're starting to run together in my old age. (Maybe I should buy those boxed DVD sets...) Maybe Tomorrow Never Dies, but I'm biased towards Michelle Kwan/Yoeh. > > > Best Stupid movie from my Parents Generation: > > Animal House or Caddyshack > > Hey!

Snow White is the first and best in my mind, although Robin Hood is good too.
> > Best Mel Brooks movie: > > Young Frankenstine > > Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Other people of my generation point to Blazing Saddles or YF, but I really liked Robin Hood. > > > Best Superhero movie: > > Batman > > Put "Mask of the Phantasm" behind "Batman", and you're right. (You're not talking about the Adam West/Burt Ward movie, are you? Now that was the "Best Stupid Movie of My Parent's Generation".) >
The one with Jack Nicholson as the Joker (Where does he get those wonderful toys?)
