As Good As It Gets 1997, PG-13)
Probably my favorite movie. Great story, direction, acting, and a great score. Helen Hunt is phenomenal and Jack is perfect. Kinnear is also spectacular. This movie is funny and serious at the same time. Movies like this are what film was made for. |

Pan's Labyrinth 2006, R)
A gripping story that ends in a profoundly emotional way. Not the simple fantasy you might expect but something eternally greater. This movie is not only my 2nd favorite but one of the best films of all time. |

Batman Begins 2005, PG-13)
By far the best superhero movie of all time because it is story driven. The Nolan brothers and Mr. Goyer made Batman real yet still made him unreal. I love this movie and could watch it all day every day. |

Planes, Trains and Automobiles 1987, R)
John Hughes at his finest. Funny and heartwarming. Reminds us of the little things and how important relationships are. |

Tommy Boy 1995, PG-13)
Farley at his best. Not sure why so many of the best die young. He was the best physical comedian of his generation and I like all of his movies for being very funny. |

Dumb and Dumber 1997, PG-13)
