I most certainly left out alot of good films, and comprising a top 25 would seriously suck...some near misses for my list include American History X, Fear and Loathing, The Departed, Hight Fidelity (#11 actually), etc...just so many good movies out there.

Brent · 03-09-2009, 12:06 AM

Hmm, not all of mine are even going to quality films but they all have a special place in my heart haha. This is personal favorites, not ratings based on like what I think are the best films ever made. Basically, I tried to think of 10 movies which I could watch over and over and never get tired of them.

1) Wayne's World
2) Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls
3) The Alien Quadrilogy
4) Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
5) The Fountain
6) Monty Python and the Holy Grail
7) South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut
8) Army of Darkness
9) 28 Days Later
10) Blazing Saddles

A Perfect Score · 03-09-2009, 12:08 AM

Nice to see some love for 28 Days Later, probably my favorite modern horror movie, right up there with The Mist.

M.O.T.H. · 03-09-2009, 12:10 AM

Ten is hard and I cant rank them...it changes all the time anyway.

So in no order...

L.A. Confidential
Seven
Layer Cake
Memento
The Departed
Resevoir Dogs
A Beautiful Mind
Goodwill Hunting
V for Vendetta
Goodfellas

Barely on the outside...

Rocky
The Bourne Idenity
Almost Famous
Antwone Fisher
Cinderella Man

I am a big horror genre fan and 28 Days Later is one of the coolest horror movies I've ever seen.

themaninblack · 03-09-2009, 12:12 AM

I love Office Space.

One of the better soundtracks I've ever heard. Spiritualized FTW.

CashmoneyDrew · 03-09-2009, 12:14 AM

I was this close to putting Rush Hour in there, but with any real top 10 list comes serious sacrifice...

Vanilla Sky was one of the best experiences I ever had watching a movie in a theater and it forever changed the way I viewed Cinema.

Kind of sounds like what House of 1000 Corpses did for me. Only probably the exact opposite.

thule · 03-09-2009, 12:31 AM

Since everyone else is doing it.

- Star Wars: Attack of the clones
- Happy Gilmore
- Dumb and Dumber
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
- LOTR
- Man on Fire
- Requiem for a Dream
- The Shawshank Redemption
- Bad Boys 2
- Training Day

Just a quick one...I missed lots I'm sure

Crickett · 03-09-2009, 12:39 AM

My top 10 in no particular order.

The Hunt for Red October
Jurassic Park
National Lampoon’s Loaded Weapon 1
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
Die Hard
Trading Places
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Airplane!
Iron Man
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

This was hard at the end for different reasons that it was at the beginning. I had to leave a bunch off such as Basic, Man on Fire, Jackie Chan's Who Am I? (No, I haven't seen Police Story yet, its on my Netflix queue), Only the Strong (which is the only capoiera movie I know of), and a couple due to the overriding loathing people here have for a director who's name rhymes wth Cycle Hey.

Also, making this list up I noticed something odd. The Jurassic Park sequels did not ruin the original for me like The Matrix sequels did. I wonder why that is.

M.O.T.H. · 03-09-2009, 12:42 AM

As for sequels...I've never had one ruin the original for me. I guess I always just think of them on their own more than anything. That's why whenever I love a movie and think a sequel is atleast possible...I'll normally be calling for it.

DHVF · 03-09-2009, 01:35 AM
