It doesn't get any more fun or edge of your seat than "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc".  "Stripes" is one of Bill Murray's best films.  "Body Heat" is a true erotic thriller, and that's a very good thing.  In my opinion, "Escape From New York" was one of Kurt Russell's best roles.  The original "Arthur" was hilarious and Dudley Moore was perfect in that role.  "Victory" may be Sylvester Stallone's most under appreciated film.  "Das Boot" is another great submarine movie!  "Chariots of Fire" won the Oscar for Best Picture for a reason.  "Reds" is Beatty & Keaton at their finest.  Seeing Henry & Jane Fond together is reason enough to see "On Golden Pond".
