Full Metal JacketUntouchables and Good Morning Vietnam would get my votes in a lot of years. By the first 20 mins of FMJ is as good as any movie ever made. And the rest of the film is still classic.

Full Metal JacketStronger year than I’d expected. Bride/Vietnam/Weapon. Last emperor is what it is, well made, never care to see again.
I loved Untouchables back in the day, watched over & over as a kid. I saw it in the last five years, and did not feel like it holds up. -
The Princess BrideToo many classic quotes.

Full Metal Jacket
Untouchables has a little bit of Hollywood cheese but overall I think it holds up.GrundleStiltzkin said:Stronger year than I’d expected. Bride/Vietnam/Weapon. Last emperor is what it is, well made, never care to see again.

Empire of The SunMy real answer is The Princess Bride, but I had to cast a sentimental vote for this one.
In my youth I was an expat kid living in Shanghai so I massively over-identified with this movie, and I find that time period (1920s-1945) in APAC endlessly fascinating. And horrifying. -
Full Metal Jacket
People forget WWII started in 1937. Am I right @CarlinHistoryBuff69 or am I right?Gladstone said:My real answer is The Princess Bride, but I had to cast a sentimental vote for this one.

Empire of The Sun'37 was the Marco Polo bridge incident, '31 was the formal invasion and occupation of Manchuria though and the establishment of the Manchukuo regime. Shoutout to @Doog_de_Jour 's vote. I'm a massive Pacific Theater buff and will jump into the history board some day and roll the sleeves up.
