My Favorite Movies

| 1 |
Halloween 1978, R)
The one that started the whole slasher genre (sorry, 'Black Christmas', but it's true), and still holds up as one of the most suspenseful, scary flicks of all time. A true classic in every sense of the word. |

L.A. Confidential 1997, R)
This movie blew me away with every frame, and I still watch it every chance I get. Easily one of the best crime dramas of all time. Masterful. |

The Devil's Rejects 2005, R)
Rob Zombie didn't just make a 70's style movie...he made a 70's movie, flat out. Slays me with it's violence, brutallity, and beauty all at once. Had it not been for this movie, I can guarantee you that QT and RR would not have made 'Grindhouse'. |

The Nightmare Before Christmas 1993, PG)
Just a great movie for kids of all ages...and completely appropriate to watch from October all the way through December! |

Shaun of the Dead 2004, R)
It's not only a fantastic comedy, and it's not only an amazing homage to the horror genre. It's actually a fantastic horror film in it's own right, and there are even parts with genuine emotion (I actually cried a little in spots the first time I saw it). The "Spaced' team knocks it out of the park and creates a perfect horror-comedy. |

Memento 2000, R)
An amazing experience. This was the first movie I saw that, when it ended, I set the DVD player right back to the first track and watched it again immediately. I could go on about Memento for hours, but instead I'll just say this: If you have not seen Memento, do so without delay. Run, don't walk, to the nearest store and just buy it now. You won't be sorry. |

Fight Club 1999, R)
|
|
| 8 |
The Sweetest Thing 2002, R)
One of the most underrated comedies ever, and one of my favorite comedies of all time. Watch for Jason Bateman and Christina Applegate steal every scene they're each in. |

Anchorman - The Legend Of Ron Burgundy 2004, PG-13)
|
|
| 10 |
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back 1980, PG)
|
|
| 11 |
Casino Royale 2006, PG-13)
After seeing Casino Royale, I literally cannot go back and watch any of the old Bond films. I have tried, but this one sucks the wind out of all the rest. Here's hoping Daniel Craig's career as 007 continues to be as great as this movie is. |
|
| 12 |
Sin City 2005, R)
Truly, there is no other movie like this in existence. One of the most original concepts to come along in just about forever. Shooting a comic book panel for panel in live action...just brilliantly done. |
|
| 13 |
Requiem for a Dream 2000, R)

Good lord, this movie is funny. Most people I know never even heard of it. Trust me. Rent it today. |
|
| 24 |
Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie 1996, PG-13)
This movie has one hard, fast rule: The more people you have in the room, the funnier it is. Even alone, however, it's a riot. |
|
| 25 |
Ed Wood 1994, R)
One of the greatest bio-pics ever made. Entertaining and funny as hell...and almost all true! |
|

The Prestige 2006, PG-13)
Just awesome. Had the same impact on me that Memento did: The ending came, my jaw dropped, I mulled it all over for a minute, and I just wanted to watch it again immediately. |
