My favorite movie of all time is probably "Oceans Eleven"! I think it was well made, had an excellent plot, and was simply exciting and thrilling, full of suspense throughout. If you have not seen it, I would highly reccomend it!

Death Rabbit

I hope you're referring to the Rat Pack version, not the "Julia Roberts has 3 lines yet gets $18million" version...

The former was great, the latter merely okay IMO.

I'd have to go with Real Genius, with Val Kilmer. One of his few comedies and was hilarious. Don't know why he stopped doing comedies. :(

"The Usual Suspects" runs a close second, followed by the ever-inspiring "The Karate Kid" (it's an American cinematic masterpiece, and I'll crane-kick anyone who says otherwise :cool: ).

@Death Rabbit, I still remember Kilmer's Top Secret. :D
