Bela Lugosi in Ghost of Frankenstein, right?
For me it's Smokey and the Bandit

Buford T Justice is my hero...

I have both releases of the soundtrack. It's great writing music. In fact, it's great music, period. Amazing that it was written by the guy from Toto.

Correct! Poor Bela was a great actor when in the right role.
I've written a blog article on Universal's monster rally movies (excluding Abbot & Costello):

Just watching Predator (1987) again and having a blast
This movie is so dumb on so many levels and is a hallmark of 1980 macho movies but i love it so much
I'm currently sick at home with a bad cold and all i can think of is that these men would not be as pussy as i am and be stopped by a simple thing like a cold

"I ain't got time to bleed!"
"You got time to duck?"
"You got time to duck?"
"To make a long story short--"
"Too late!"

"Two plus one plus one plus two"
I remember when Clue first came out... to see all three endings, you had to see the movie at least three times.

That's why I had to watch Expendables. I knew walking in that it would be silly but I owed it to my childhood sitting through those action movies in the age of endless bullets and explosions that were much bigger than they should be.
I still find that hard to believe - it works so well with the three endings and the title cards. The DVD has the option to opt for only one ending, but I don't know why anyone would choose that.
Predator is great once the actual title creature is involved. I find the beginning hard to watch now, with Arnie's huge cigar and comparing muscles with his buddy. I assume this part of the film was straight autobiography.
"I ain't got time to bleed" - that should've been his campaign slogan.

Pretty much it.. The Expendables is a genius device by Stallone to pay hommage to 80s style action movies and given the fact that so many movie stars of that era (and some more recent ones) are lining up to be a part of it shows they feel the same way.
When i saw Expendables 1 in the theatre i had black spots in my vision from laughing so hard when Terry Crews started to clear the catacombs with his assault shotgun.. this scene was so ridiculously over the top that it nearly killed me too!
There are certain movies that, if I'm clicking around and I see they're on I start watching, no matter how many times I've seen them and no matter how far along into the movie it is. They include:
Ghostbusters
Caddyshack
Animal House
The Blues Brothers
Goodfellas
The Untouchables
A Few Good Men
Superman
Batman 1966

Absolutely love this movie also and not sure why.
"Leeloo Dallas, Multi-Pass" cracks me up every time!!!

"Clue" still rules, and I also love the multiple endings!
You got that right! I just wanted more and more and more! I remember a rumor out there about there being a 9 hour cut of the De Laurentiis version. Some day, maybe it will surface.
I'm afraid the Alan Smithee cut made me want less.
Same here.
I didn't know about that. I'd probably watch it if I had it (maybe not in one sit).
Two old movies that I know every detail of are The Sound of Music and Thunderheart. But for bantering with others, nothing can beat Trek and Harry Potter.
Absent most of the Star Trek movies and episodes, I would have to say my/our go to movie for bantering back and forth would be "Blazing Saddles."
The whole damn movie is a line!
"Whats not exactly earth, and not exactly water....?"
The Fifth Element is light hearted entertainment, which remains entertaining even if you watch it again and again.
Clue is watchable again and again. This is partly because it evokes a particular mood, with a particular style of house during a rainy night. Murder by Death evokes a similar mood.
Dr. Strangelove remains very clever, especially Slim Pickins last scene in the movie.

That's another one I can stop and watch over and over. However, I have to admit certain versions on TV are so heavily edited that they're near-incomprehensible.
