Sphere
Frozen
The Tribe
Black Water
All the Predator // Alien movies

I am a fan:D. I was able to watch predator 1,2 (and 3, but the case is I am not sure if there's a third one) when I was 5 years old on TV and I can still remember some of the parts of the movie. I also watched Alien vs. Predator 1 and 2. The best!!!:) I think I also watched aliens2 on TV, just last year.

Actually, our professor was encouring us to watch the beautiful mind.
"A Beautiful Mind" is one of my all-time favorites. Others include:

Dances with Wolves
The King's Speech
Schindler's List
The Pursuit of Happyness

If you'd asked for ten, I could have given you ten. If you'd asked for twenty, I could have given you twenty. If you'd asked for thirty, I could have given you thirty. Get as old as I am and you'll end up with a long list, too.

Bodhisattva in Recovery
They're not sequels, they're one massive movie. You should watch the whole thing.
Besides which, The Two Towers is the second part. The order to watch/read them in is:

Fellowship of the ring
Two Towers
Return of the king

and yes, it is one story.

Edit: Whenever I read the Lord of the Rings, I always start by reading the Hobbit, so for me it's really the 4 books - and one very long story.

I just got to watch the Two Towers.... That's why I don't know how to call it because I wasn't able to watch the whole thing...

The Princess Bride....really? Inconceivable!
(I was pleased that Andre The Giant had such a big role & did such a great job.)

The Illusionist
Management
Playing by Heart

That is a wonderful list. These are some of my favorites from my childhood as well. I recently watched The Neverending Story again, and I still got teary-eyed at the part with Atreyu and Artax in the swamp.
