If you liked Cannonball Run you have to see an older movie called
"Gumball Ralley" It was the basis for Cannonball and it is wonderful!

Hi, Monker! Glad to see this topic brought you back out into the open!

Your list reminded me of how much I loved Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home, my favorite of the series. Gotta add that one. I like all the Star Trek Movies, except V very much, but IV was my favorite.

Also, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid need to be added to my list as well.

Yep. "4 weeks, twenty papers...that's two dollars. Cash."

"I'm sorry, I haven't got a dime right now..."

"Didn't ask for a dime."
