11	Bad Boys 1995, R) One of the best buddy cop movies out there. Best onscreen chemistry too. Will Smith at his best, Lawrence too. Hahaha... I remember watching this with friends over and over and over again. I have seen this movi e over 200 times over the past 10 years or so. Its all about attitude and gettin it done!
12	From Dusk Till Dawn 1996, R) I always thought I was the only person to LOVE this movie. I'm glad I'm not! Hands down the best acting by George Clooney of all his work. The wickedly arranged story is told and unfolded brilliantly! One of my faves growing up in my late teens and early twenties.

21	Zoolander 2001, PG-13)
22	Memento 2000, R)
23	Donnie Darko 2001, R) I can't say enough about this movie!!! For me it is more than a movie it tapped into who I am and things I've thought and feel and my childhood partly. Simply amazing. Its not a let loose feel good movie, Don't expect that. Its a reflection movie.
24	Vanilla Sky 2001, R)
25	Napoleon Dynamite 2004, PG)
26	Sin City 2005, R) Creative, smart, adapted beautifully, great cinematography, lots of pain, sweat passion and tears went into this movie and it shows
27	Wedding Crashers 2005, R) Vaughn and Wilson team up to create some great laughs. Many moments of awkward humour, wonderful.
28	Assault on Precinct 13 2005, R)
29	Crash 2005, R)
30	Batman Begins 2005, PG-13)
31	Secuestro Express 2004, R)
32	Dan in Real Life 2007, PG-13)
33	Fire in the Sky 1993, PG-13)
34	What Lies Beneath 2000, PG-13) Take the best parts of all the hitchcock thrillers, add some special effects that you'll never notice, and one of today's top directors (Zemeckis) and you have the best all time thriller drama with a twist. Thanks to everyone involved in this one! I love when great minds come together to create a movie this wonderful.
35	The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 2008, PG-13)
36	Tombstone 1993, R) Best western ; )
37	The Notebook 2004, PG-13) This is not a chick flick as far as I'm concerned. Guys love to fall in love just as much as women.
38	Gladiator 2000, R)
39	Cinderella Man 2005, PG-13) Puts Raging Bull to shame. A truly touching film that manages to duck and weave its way to a clever, smart and ultimately genuine love story.
40	The Last Samurai 2003, R)
41	The Break-Up 2006, PG-13)
42	Aliens 1986, R)
43	Titanic (in 3D) 2012, PG-13)
44	Bad Boys II 2003, R)
45	Silent Fall 1994, R)
46	Felon 2008, R) I've always been one who believes that the difference between a good man and a bad man is merely a decision. Moreover, that often good and bad people are really the same people. Good people make bad choices and bad people make good choices. Therefore, its really just about people making choices. FELON is a wondeful showcase of how we can be thrust into darkness while still being innocent and how once you're in you're on your own. It shows how important family is and how few friendships are loyal. I really identify with this movie on more than a few levels. I could see myself being Dorff's character, couldn't most of us? Perhaps, that is what gets us through the whole movie so easily. That could be me! I have too many accolades for this movie. It is a great character driven movie that I recommend to everyone. Thanks Kat for recommending it to me! You were right!
47	True Grit 2010, PG-13) The more critical of movies I become I find it harder and almost downright impossible to find a film that can be TRUE from start to finish. A film that can do what it set out to do successfully across all gamuts. This film is one of those few film gems that gets it right. Its wonderful to be able to appreciate it for the art that it is, the film that it was and the mark that it will leave behind. The Coen brothers really are showing audiences once again that its the story, and moreover the storytelling, that reaches us and draws us in. I loved it. Simply stated but filled with that quiet energy and passion that lies within all of us. The acting by Matt Damon really had me nodding my head in approval.
