Not sure I would put SW at the top of that list ....but Wedding Crashers should be on the list imo.
I haven't seen WC yet but I plan to soon.
I have no reservation with regards to Star Wars. Since the beginning of the year no other movie has moved me as much as Revenge of the Sith did. I can't help being a die-hard fan. After watching all 6 movies in consecutive episodic(sp?) order, I think I like the prequels more that the original trilogy now. I consider the prequels somewhat more sophisticated and personal and a bit more subtle in their overtones. I still enjoy the original trilogy especially now with the backstory firmly in place. The original trilogy just seems to lose something to the prequels which I can't quite put my finger on. At the same time I found myself more moved by Return of the Jedi at the end with Luke, Vader, and Palpatine. And there was a sort of poetry to the Ewok battle which I hadn't felt before. I'm not saying they're all perfect, but like a loved one I tend to look past the flaws. Now I enjoy the series for the deeper mythology.
Star Wars I-VI are my favorite movies of all time. Not for the things that make other movies exceptional, but for the things that make Star Wars exceptional.
