War movies, war in general, is definitely a guy thing. I don't have a problem with that.

I don't know about what most women nowadays prefer. I wouldn't say I'm real typical. I've always been a tom-boy and a tad crazy.

I never played with dolls, I played with Lincoln logs and chemicals.

So, with that in mind, here is a cross-section of a few of the films I've got here at home:

Adventure: In Search of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future (and basically anything involving time travel)

Comedy: Galaxy Quest, Maverick, The Money Pit, Trading Places, Play it Again Sam, Ghost Busters, Office Space, Toy Story, the Mask, Distinguished Gentlemen, Joe vs the Volcano, Overboard, Down Periscope.

Comedy/Drama: Radio Days (I love 30's and 40's music),Small time Criminals, Good Morning Vietnam, The Mirror has two faces, Much Ado about Nothing, As Good as it Gets, Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty.

Drama: The Barchester Chronicles (excellent, if you ever get a chance, SEE it), Playing By Heart (which totally changed my stance on Angelina Jolie), Dangerous Liaisons, Truly Madly Deeply, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice (the 1942 version as well as the newer version with Emma Thompson. Murder on the Orient Express (excellent). Conspiracy Theory (natch)

Sci-Fi or Spiritual: Meet Joe Black (I don't care for the female actress, though. She blinks too much), the Fifth Element.

Docu/film: Looking for Richard

classics: Some like it hot, It's a Wonderful Life, You were never lovelier (a fred astaire musical. He was Austrian, by the way). Edna May Oliver films. Thank Your Lucky Stars.

I'd be interested in what everyone else has on hand.
