*'The Goodbye Girl' (1977)
*'Grease'(1978)
*'The Mack' (1973)

I ammended my list. I can't believe I forgot "Annie Hall." This may be one of the few movies about relationships that actually gets it right.

My girlfriend calls this film "The Jason Story" cuz I remind her so much of Woody.

Good films all. I gotta go with those who included Annie Hall. I also have to include The Rocky Horror Picture Show because of the fact that it has endured for so long, and it means a lot to me personally.

I have to also mention Phantom Of The Paradise. Early DePalma, and a precursor to Rocky Horror.

Also have to give raves to Ridley Scott's brilliant Alien. The first and best of that series. Likewise to Carpenter's Halloween: still one of the best horror flicks ever made.
