    '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.

    Thanks Gladdy! Yes, the Pacific theater and APAC history needs mor pub...especially since countries like China, India, Vietnam, Russia, etc. are going to keep being such big influences on the globe. Important for people to understand how things got to how they currently are.

    Raising Arizona
    Rather easily.

    Full Metal Jacket and Princess Bride are also worthy.

    Full Metal Jacket
    Normally, I'd think this lead should hold up, but after watching that 1988 Die Hard bullshit, I have zero faith in this board.

    The Princess Bride
    I expected to be called a pussy and be forced to lean in and own it. Shocked to see I'm not alone. I'm glad Raising Arizona got a vote: under the radar classic.

    FMJ is rad and quotable, but I quote TPB more than all but maybe two or three movies.

    I agree on The Untouchables. Used to be one of my favorites, but I watched it last year after learning my brother and his whole family/friend circle had never heard of it. I was all excited to bring them this kickass movie, then... thud. And I didn't blame them. Didn't hold up as well as I expected.

    Empire of The Sun

    My 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.
