RE: Favorite Movie Lists (aka Cabin Fever Shenanigans)
I'm here late, but this is a fun thread

The Big Lebowski
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (Greatest musical score ever)
Terminator 2: Judgement Day (this kind of counts as a motorcycle movie, because i feel like it turned my entire generation on to motorcycles)
Tron (this is definitely a motorcycle movie)
The Blues Brothers

hate to disagree with you, misterprofessionality, but the score for "The Magnificent Seven" is pretty outstanding, too. Let's call it a "draw" (pun intended)

Goose's "Kwaka" in the original Mad Max film. Or Hilts' Bonnie (which was supposed to look like a BMW, I guess) in the "The Great Escape."

Now for the other non-motorcycle movies:

"The Apostle" with Robert Duvall. Exceptional movies don't always have happy endings.
"Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." Children can be powerful. (I'm an elementary school teacher.)
"Serenity." I liked the "Firefly" TV series better, but you asked for movies Smile
"Lean on Me." Morgan Freeman's best performance, in my opinion.
"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story." Yeah, I know it's "The Dirty Dozen." But it's just as good. Plus, it has spaceships Cool

i qualify it as greatest score ever based solely on the greatness of "Il Trielo" (the ending sequence track). If i die, i want to die in a three-way shootout with that music playing.

Ennio Morricone is an amazing composer. His film scores rank right up there with John William's compositions. "Gabriel's Oboe" from "The Mission" is one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces I've heard.

RE: Favorite Movie Lists (aka Cabin Fever Shenanigans)
I missed this thread while I was away.
All the movies listed (in the first three pages, anyhow... I got antsy to get to the end) are great. Here is my list of five, but these are not so much all-time great movies as movies that I often find myself recommending to others and gassing on about in defense of. Movies I watch over and over, in no particular order...
1) Harold and Maude. Motorcycle theft!

2) Zorro, The Gay Blade. No motorcycle, but so many memorable lines. George Hamilton saves himself from the dustbin of movie history.

3) PeeWee's Big Adventure. Motorcycles, biker bar, Tequila!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyhy7Z71qzE
4) The Princess Bride. Wrong era for bikes, but I'm sure if there had been motorcycles in the middle ages, there would have been some in this flick. Best one-liners. But what was with the sound quality??

5) Lest you think I am a completely immature nerd/geek (and I am), I will list The Seven Samurai. While it contains no motorcycles, it may contain the soul of what makes Honda the greatest name in motorcycling. Or not. Still, it is awesome and inspiring. In fact, it inspired at least seventeen remakes.
