This is a remarkably good list. I know you're getting a ton of recommendations OP, but this is really a very comprehensive one with an absolutely excellent balance of "real good quality" combined with "easy and rewarding to watch."
Thanks for the complement!
As much as I love Kung Pao, I would replace it with Airplane because Kung Pao is just so dumb and divisive. I know people who love that movie and I know people who absolutely hated it. You have to be a certain age (under 12 imo) to really appreciate it.
Airplane however, is timeless regardless of how old you are when you first watch it.
Airplane didn't make my list only because I forgot/didn't think about it but defiantly should be there.
Really this list is only a small selection of movies I love and could think of right off the bat. I missed a huge portion of great recommendations. Ill leave them for others to fill in as there are a ton of great comments filled with great movies already and im sure there are more to come.
Im bookmarking this thread so I can get some ideas of things I haven't seen yet or things I must have in my collection.
