I can't believe nobody said Pterodactyl...!! I had to go look up how to spell it because of all of your discrimination. So what ....people obviously have bias against the winged dino's? Well the Pterodactyl was my favorite as a kid..simply because he could fly. We would play dinosaurs all the time and the dumb ass neighbor boys could never catch me because........ I could fly. I was at the top of the food chain in that damn game. Yeah...I always played to win!
Well, Bakker got an animal recently named Neobrontosaurus to resurrect the genus since the original brontosaurus got replaced with apatosaurus after it was later found that two sets of remains given different names were the same animal and, as is the practice the earlier name wins in those circumstances.
What, the recent Land of the Lost movie isn't good enough for you?
I have a fondness for all the classic "big name" dinosaurs: tyrannosaurus, triceratops, stegosaurus, and like several others have mentioned, the not-actually-dinosaurs: pterosaurs.

Yeah, the proper term is "long neck."

I was striving to make not one error today!! Not one...... and even before noon I've ruined my chances for today.

Hey, don't worry, things get reclassified all the time. Remember when Pluto was a planet?
Carnotaurus followed by dilophosaurus(without that silly JP neck frill.)
btw what do you all think of the recent trend by paleoartists of covering dinos in feathers? Some dino fans are very averse to it. I dont mind it on the smaller dinos but I dont really care for when they cover the larger massive dinos like T-rex in feathers. It just looks really odd...

The only ones they've actually found confirmed feathers on are from the raptor family. IIRC, there were thought to be feathers found on some species of ornithomimid but on closer examination they turned out to be frayed collagen fibers.
There's an idea floating around in some circles, by the way, that the raptors may not have been true dinosaurs at all but rather flightless birds--Archeopteryx predates the Cretaceous feathered raptors by a hundred or so million years, and all the raptors have a unique bone in their wrists that's used by birds to fold their wings but is thought to be useless in an arm. I've been told a little of this research has been published by now, but I never found out from the guy I spoke with when or where.

Damn right it does, that was going to be MY choice for the thread.
Instead I'll go along with:
That was one of the first idea's that came to mind. Brilliant.
The big one with the long tail and long neck.
