"Dances With Wolves"

Or just the first few minutes of "Waterworld", love that trimaran...the rest of the movie is crap.

My wife will say her favorite movie is "On Golden Pond" but the one movie she quotes more lines from than any other is "Coneheads".

Anything by Stanley Kubrick, but especially "A Clockwork Orange". Absolutely brilliant...

Armageddon. My daughter says that I'm Harry Stamper and act like his character. (I never shot any of her boyfriends BTW). Although I was cleaning my M1A one time when I met him. She divorced him years ago and he still sends me a Christmas card lol.

Oh, I forgot Joe vs the Volcano, I love that movie! That and Volunteers are my two favorite Tom Hanks movies.

jd2cylman · Jun 18, 2013

I can agree with almost all previously listed movies, but you guys forgot one Mel Brooks movie: Spaceballs!
Great movie! Yes, Blazing Saddles is funnier, and Young Frankenstein is a better parody, but Spaceballs is just fun.

I'll add one that may not be a chick flick, but was fun (I enjoyed it more than I thought I would):
