Don't Make Me Use The Bat
I've got a lot of dark/serious movies on my island, so time to lighten things up a little. Since I missed most of the comedies I wanted, I'm going with a big, fun, dumb (in a good way) action/thriller flick, Point Break.
I've always found this movie highly entertaining and very rewatchable. It also has a cool sort of zen/mystic quality that transcends the silliness of the plot.
It's got great action scenes, great stunts, and a perfect cast. I don't think any other actors besides Swayze and Reeves could have pulled it off quite as well. They were just perfect for their parts.

Oh, and always considered this kind of the cheese companion to Roadhouse. Not sure it holds up quite as well -- last time I watched it both Keanu and Busey are just painful at times. But its still got some of the same stupid spirit. And of course Swayze spouting more bad philosophy.
