AFI listed what they considered the best films, but they missed gems that must be watched over and over again, those movies where you drag your friends over, hand them a drink and insist that they watch.

Here's some of mine:

Split Second
"We need bigger guns" and "You want me to put out an APB on Satan?"

Major League
Wild Thing and "You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?"
"Hats. Hats for bats. Keep bats warm."

The Replacement Killers
Mmm.

American Dreamer
The 1984 movie, about a woman who becomes convinced she's really a famous writer, living a life of international intrigue.

Terminator and Terminator 2
T2 is better than T1, but T1 gets bonus points as an 80s movie. (The hair! The clothes! I remember wearing those!)

There are also classic Schwarzenegger flicks including Raw Deal, Commando and Predator, which are all worthy, as well as Clint Eastwood's spaghetti westerns. Unforgiven may get the AFI's nod, but A Fistful of Dollars, A Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly go better with beer.

So what movies would you put on your list?
