These are a few of the movies I can go back and watch again and again and again. I think they're wonderful. Some of them have great directing, some have wonderful dialogue, some have touching stories--there's no one tie between them all, except that they're on this list :)

"One of these things is not like the others..." :-)
I'm officially intrigued. I'll have to add Tommy Boy to my to-see list.
Yes, Tommy Boy fits into my 'uncontrollable laughter' category. Especially now that there will be no more Farley movies... Some of the dialogue is poorly written, but the comic chemistry between Spade and Farley is simply wonderful. It's just too bad they didn't grow old and continue to do cool movies together [Martin & Lewis, Lemmon & Matthau].
Besides, the whole deer episode is simply amusing each time...
Hey, I just noticed that The Big Lebowski is the only Coen Brothers movie on either this list or your "Recommended" list. Have you seen their others? I've seen 'em all so far, and while I thought TBL was okay, I think it was the weakest of their oeuvre (God I love working that word in - such a marvelous vowel:consonant ratio).
I've seen all of the Coen brother films, though I have a special affinity for TBL. That one I can watch over and over again. I'm definitely looking forward to Oh, Brother...I got to see one preview for it, and it looks awesome!
And yes, they had to have oeuvre to balance out syzygy.
:-) Yeah, they do cancel each other out nicely. Also looking forward to Oh Brother.
