Paper Moon
One of the greatest and funniest films of all time. I didn't know Ryan O'Neal could act until I saw this film and Barry Lyndon.
Everyone should check this out, but sadly, it is not available on the DVD format.
The late Madeline Kahn is excellent as is Tatum O'Neal.

Save the Tiger
I used to love this movie--haven't seen it in a while--I think Jack Lemmon tells a hitchhiker that he's 35 yrs. old and I would think that he looked really old for 35...
Walking Tall ("Looking's for free")
....come on, I was 11: this was a cool movie for being 11.

2) American Graffiti (7)
3) Mean Streets (4)
4) Badlands / Paper Moon (3)
6) Day of the Jackal (2)
