When VCR's came out, pre-recorded tapes were super expensive, $99 was a normal price, which was a lot of money in the late 70's. We had a bootleg recording of "The Birds" by Alfred Hitchcock, us four kids watched it so many times even decades later we are still able to say all the lines.
And Jeremiah Johnson, watch that every year at elk camp.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Any James Bond, Star Trek, Marvel, or Kevin Smith film (though they usually don't play those on TV, and they're really not worth watching as a sterilized version).
Shawshank Redemption will do it, as would Bull Durham or Tin Cup. Do those count as "guy flicks"? Chick flicks are not my thing on most days. Although I do love a good Sandra Bullock rom-com like Speed, Miss Congeniality, or While You Were Sleeping.

crazy because they know they can) and When Harry met Sally...YES,YES,YES...(IF you don't know what that means,then you haven't seen the movie)

FORGOT THELMA AND LOUISE (Brad Pitt's debut was a no brainer for stardom)
LOL! I'm still trying to picture you channeling Keanu Reeves - I think that's going to occupy my whole day!
Mmm, Jason Bourne. I actually really liked Jeremy Renner in the "role" (it wasn't exactly Bourne, but the same type program), although the plot itself sucked in that one. I'm bummed he won't be back.
