Robin Hood -Prince of Theives (great makeout movie :)

Joy Luck Club (come on now, even i'll admit, it was a good movie)

TOP GUN (every 8 year old wants to be apilot cause of this)

Goodfellas (Funny? Whaddya mean funny?)

Braveheart (best of both worlds, action and romance)

Schindler's List ( a bit more serious, but powerful nonetheless)
