My favorite anime film. Miyazaki at his finest.

Finding Nemo
Best CG movie, hands down. Cute and hilarious.
5
The Fountain 2006,  PG-13)
The Fountain
Darren Aronofsky has crafted a masterpiece of a film.

Janghwa, Hongryeon (A Tale of Two Sisters) 2003,  R)
Janghwa, Hongryeon (A Tale of Two Sisters)
My favorite horror movie. Tho it's more a psychological trip than horror. Who knew a horror movie could be so beautiful.
7
Gojira 1954,  Unrated)
Gojira
The original. Nothing more to say.
8
Howl's Moving Castle 2005,  PG)
Howl's Moving Castle
It seems like Miyazaki can do no wrong as he continues to bring create true classics.
9
Aliens 1986,  R)
Aliens
More aliens, more action, more greatness.
10
The Land Before Time 1988,  G)
The Land Before Time
From a time when kids movies were more mature than they are now. Too bad the sequels continue to go downhill.
11
A Bittersweet Life (Dalkomhan insaeng) 2005,  Unrated)
12
Predator 1987,  R)
Predator
One of the greatest sci-fi films ever made.
13
Crash 2005,  R)
Crash
An extremely powerful film that touches on many issues plaguing not only America, but the whole world.
14
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang 2005,  R)
15
Running Scared 2005,  R)
Running Scared
It pleases me that Wayne Kramer was not afraid to delve into some truly terrible situations and not pull any punches in the way he filmed it. Kudos to him. Ranks as one of my favorite action films and Paul Walker's best performance, hands down.
16
Black Hawk Down 2001,  R)
17
The Butterfly Effect 2004,  R)
The Butterfly Effect
This film is a real trip the whole way thru with a wicked ending(director's cut). It's too bad Ashton Kutcher doesn't choose to do more movies like this.
18
Dead Man's Shoes 2004,  Unrated)
19
Creep 2004,  R)
Creep
Could be likened to The Descent(this came before it of course), but executed in a much different way. They give the Creep a sense of character. So much so you really start to feel for him by the end of the film. Ranks among my favorite horror films.
20
Elizabethtown 2005,  PG-13)
Elizabethtown
I didn't have high hopes for Elizabethtown, but it turned out to be one of the most quirky and entertaining movies I've seen in a long time. While it seemed like Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst were only brought to this film to appeal to the younger crowd, both performed flawlessly in their offbeat character's roles. In addition to that, its dark sense of humor is a perfect counterpart to the more touching moments. Highly recommended.
21
Starship Troopers 1997,  R)
Starship Troopers
Oh how I love this film. This is another one that doesn't take itself seriously and it helps it tremendously. Over-the-top action, great digital effects, and a memorable score. This one is near the top of my all-time favorite sci-fi films. Military vs. army of bugs = win nearly every time.
22
Munich 2005,  R)
Munich
I bought this one on a whim when it came out, and boy was I in for a treat. Spielberg took a risk with making this one, but he hit the mark. One of his best works.
23
The Shawshank Redemption 1994,  R)
The Shawshank Redemption
Incredible movie. I don't think I need to say anything more. If you haven't seen it, do so.
24
Cars 2006,  G)
Cars
I would almost say that this might be Pixar's best. I do believe it trails ever so slightly behind Finding Nemo. In any case, they've done very well. The Nascar stuff is great if you're into it and can get some of the subtle jokes. It may be a hilarious in parts, but Pixar has taken the more serious side and really struck an emotional chord here. Thumbs up to them for creating another true classic.

Gamera: Chiisaki yusha-tachi (Gamera the Brave) 2006,  Unrated)
Gamera: Chiisaki yusha-tachi (Gamera the Brave)
Three cheers for Toto! You may be able to tell by my profile pic that I absolutely adore this film. While the heisei-era Gamera's were spectacular, Gamera The Brave brings Gamera back to his childhood roots with success the showa-era Gamera movies could only dream of. The action took a backseat in this one, but the bond between Toto and Toru is fully fleshed out and the action that is there is great. Top-notch kaiju movie and one of my favorites to be sure.

Bad Boys II 2003,  R)
Bad Boys II
BB2 improves upon the original in every way. The ultimate action film. Micheal Bay's greatest work in my opinion.
