Good choices! I can't believe I forgot Back To The Future. I'd definitely add that to my 80's list as well, along with At Close Range.

1930's: The Wizard of Oz (1939)
This film stars Judy Garland (who is actually a distant relative of mine). Gotta love the Tinman. Honorable mention goes to "The Hound Of The Baskervilles" ... anywho, of this decade, i would like to see "Stagecoach".

1940's: It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
This film stars James Stewart. This is the only movie of the 40's that I recall watching. I'd like to see Citizen Kane.

1950's: Twelve Angry Men (1957)
This film starred Henry Fonda... "Piglet" (John Fiedler was also in it, that guy has the funniest voice ever... A few movies from the 50's that I'd like to see, but haven't yet are: Rebel Without A Cause (Almost watched it today, it was on TV), The Bridge On The River Kwai, and Anatomy of a Murder

1960's: My Fair Lady (1964)
This film starred Audrey Hepburn. I thought it was pretty damn good, the book was good too (had to read it for school). I CAN'T THINK OF ANY OTHER 60's MOVIES!

1970's: Monty Python and The Holy Grail (1975)
One of my favorite's of all time. This is funny as hell. It's a must see for those who have never seen it before. "Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get the two-level effect with a little path running down the middle... Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... with... a herring!"......honorable mention: 'Island of Dr. Moreau"

1980's: E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Who doesn't like this movie? This one of few 80's flicks that I like.

1990's: Billy Madison (1995)
By far the toughest choice so far. I'm a huge Sandler fan and it came down to Billy Madison and Tommy Boy (I love Farley, too). honorable mention: Tommy Boy, Black Sheep, Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy, etc., etc.

2000's: N/A
Too tough to decide. I really enjoyed a lot of movies so far this decade. American Pie 2, Joy Ride, Shrek, LOTR, Harry Potter, The Others, Spider-Man, Star Wars AOTC, Catch Me If You Can, Jackass, Old School, etc.

30's - Wizard of Oz, haven't seen too many from this decade

"The Princess Bride" was excellent wasn't it? Mandy Patinkin really did a great job as the Spaniard. The book was even better. In the book, Goldman claims to be abridging an older classic by the same name and leaving out the boring parts, but at some point, you realize that he's pulling your leg and that he's the author.
