Just some of the movies I'll watch over and over again! More to come....

	andreas52's Rating	My Rating
1	The Dark Knight 2008, PG-13) Truly the only must-see movie of the summer! Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker is so dark and chilling; he OWNS this role, and is a definite contender for an oscar nod! Kudos to Christopher Nolan - the plot, the action, the choice of cast, all excellent!
2	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street 2007, R) A tale of revenge and blood lust - Johnny Depp delivers an outstanding performance, as does Helena Bonham Carter!
3	The Passion of the Christ 2004, R) Reading about the Passion is one thing - to see it portrayed on screen is indescribable. To think that someone went through this for me.....
4	Dirty Dancing 1987, PG-13) Love this movie! How much are you willing to risk for love???
5	Imitation of Life 1958, Unrated) Love this movie, even though it makes me cry EVERY TIME! Sometimes we realize, too late, what is important in life.
6	The Color Purple 1985, PG-13) A great portayal of the plight of the black woman and the struggles we face. Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey shine in this film! Danny Glover emodies the role of "Mister" so well, that I hated him for years after. Extraordinary cast, extraordinary film!
7	The Libertine 2004, R) Rochester: "Allow me to be frank at the commencement. You will not like me. The gentlemen will be envious and the ladies will be repelled. You will not like me now and you will like me a good deal less as we go on." Beautifully shot, brilliantly acted, The Libertine displays the debauchery that was 17th century England. Johnny Depp, as John Wilmont, 2nd Earl of Rochester, shows (once again) why he is one of the greatest character actors of our time. Samantha Morton and Rosamund Pike are stellar as Wilmont's love interests (lover and long-suffering wife). John Malkovich as Charles II, rounds out this great cast. This film is not for the prudish or those with what I call "virgin ears"- that is my warning to you.
8	Grease 1978, PG) Ah....to be back in High School....NOT! But this is a fun movie to sing along to!
9	Cry-Baby 1990, PG-13) "You've got is Allison, you've got it raw!" This movie is just pure fun!
10	Purple Rain 1984, R) What can I say? Prince is a musical genius.
11	The Ten Commandments 1956, G) One of the greatest biblical movies of all time! Great special effects for it's time.
12	Pretty Woman 1990, R) For all us ladies who are waiting for our knight in shining armor. :)
13	Dangerous Minds 1995, R) A realistic look into the urban high school scene, and one woman's mission to teach the unteachable.
14	The Pelican Brief 1993, PG-13)
15	Man on Fire 2004, R)
16	Edward Scissorhands 1990, PG-13) An artificial man trying to fit into the real world, Edward initially finds his niche, even daring to fall in love. But he soon learns that hatred and fear of the unknown can turn the tide very quickly. This Burton/Depp collaboration is beautifully done and painfully touching (literally).
17	Secret Window 2004, PG-13) Brilliant (As Mr. Depp usually is)! Kept me guessing up until the very end.
18	Flashdance 1983, R) It always pays to follow your dream!
19	Fame 1980, R) Great singing, great dancing...a great look at the stars of the future.
20	Chocolat 2000, PG-13)
21	The Pursuit of Happyness 2006, PG-13) A wonderful story of determination and hope against all odds!
