Die Hard. I watch it the most often, hands down, and still love it.

lol, I was going to say Die Hard and you beat me to it. I keep bugging my wife about once a year to watch it again.

I also like "Die Hard," but the newest "Live Free or Die Hard" is funnier, just as exciting and far-fetched, and in Blu-ray boasts one of the best soundtracks (DTS-HD MA) of any disc around.

The "Tunnel Scene" in Die Hard 4 (as it is known in other countries) is my go to demo scene. Spectacular scene. Looks real, Sounds real, Feels real. Unlike CGI drivel. Now if they could only do something about the ending....(C'MON)

Sounds good, John. I'll have something to look forward to when I get a Blu-ray player that will actually play it.

Raiders of the Lost Ark -- First bigtime movie that I remember seeing with my father vividly. Man was it a surprise in all its awesomeness. Back then people didn't see action in movies until the last 20 to 30 minutes of the movie typically. That movie was loaded and didn't let you take a breath, lol.

T2 as well. Best movie Arnie ever did. Empire Strikes Back plus those would make my trifecta of number 1 movies.

Star Wars or Empire Strikes Back. Star Wars is the first movie I ever saw on a theatre (imagine that for a sec) when I was around 8 years old. It absolutely blew my mind. Imagine at 8 years old that first scene with the humongous, white Imperial ship that goes on and on. Empire Strikes Back is such an incredible sequel that I can't pick between the 2.

Barring those two movies I would say Shawshank Redemption.

I don't know? This is pretty tough . . . I think I'm going to have to go with "Final Fantasy" on this one!

Oh please. Seriously Tim, if you're whole DVD collection had to be taken away and you were only allowed to keep ONE movie, which would it be?

The Empire Strikes Back...or T2...

Oh, btw, it's Die Hard 4.0 ... and for as much as I enjoyed that great astonishing popcorn blockbuster, what was the freakin plot?? I mean, seriously, things made sense, but come on, the jet scene towards the end in the highway?!? Like Michael Scott said, they are making McClane [?] look more like Superman...nothing happens to him! Nothing, really, NOTHING...
