My Favorite Movies

The list is not in any specific order, would require way too much from me to keep it in order while i add after adding new movies to the list. These movies are the absolutely best I have ever seen, and well most of them I have seen way more than 3 times. By chekin this list you might get an idea of what I really do like to watch. I dont add here disney classics or most of the disney cartoons because 95% of them could belong to this list. Well as an exception (you know, an exception makes a rule) I added here The Lion King, which is most loveable cartoon I have ever seen, and I have always loved it. Enjoy.

5	Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi 1983, PG)
6	Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back 1980, PG)
7	The Lion King 1994, G) Hakuna matata, what a wonderful phrase.. Best thing in the movie are the comments by Timon and Bumba, and never to forget the great artwork and unforgottable story of a poor little child (Simba) who's missleaded.. Gladly Nala finds Simba and with little help of Rafiki he dares to challenge he's uncle to go back home, to lead home with a gentle paw - unlike he's uncle.
8	Stephen King's Rose Red 2002, PG-13)
9	Stephen King's The Shining (MINI-SERIES) 2003, Unrated)
10	The Butterfly Effect 2004, R) Great great movie, I like more the "directors cut" ending as it makes the movie have the "closed ending". In the open ending as the teatherical version anything can happen still, and as we know the butterfly effect 2 do not follow in the footsteps of this movie the open ending kinda destroys the great movie, IF the 2nd would follow the story and continue with same actors, THEN the open ending would suit in this as fish into a water.
11	Blade 1998, R)
12	Police Academy 1984, R)
13	Police Academy 2 - Their First Assignment 1985, PG-13)
14	The Prince of Egypt 1998, PG)
15	The Day After Tomorrow 2004, PG-13)
16	The Core 2003, PG-13)
17	Stir of Echoes 1999, R)
18	The Pianist 2002, R)
19	The Others 2001, PG-13)
20	2 Fast 2 Furious 2003, PG-13) Grrr... Cars.... (Homer Simpson style ;) ) Didn't get even close to how great the first one were, but gotta say still one of the best movies i've seen. One part of it being one of those is the cars, i know, but nothing beats good drive for the life ;) The best part might be they got the better cars from the little race ;)
21	Armageddon 1998, PG-13) No matter how many times i see this, I always cry and love this... The sacrifice for greater good is always something really admirable, and it is one of great goods in the movie storylines. Great movie storyline has always three elements; love, wealth and death - Armageddon has them all.
22	The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift 2006, PG-13) Great movies, great cars... :) Drifting is really piece of art if asked from me, and I'd try to learn it if I had car I could crash without losing too much ;) Every time i see either whole of this movie or at least the part that one guy destroys the whole car at the start of the movie I feel I want to go out there, drive and fast and trick up with the car... Ahh that's life
23	The Fast and the Furious 2001, PG-13) cars... awesome... And the speed... :) Vin Diesel aint bad either ;) The line between good and bad is really minimal, as in this movie can be seen... And one we think is something might not be afterall what we thought. But the true frendship which becomes, it will never fade away, as we saw in the end of the movie "I promised you 10 seconds car"
24	Iron Will 1994, PG)
25	E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial 1982, PG)
26	The Sound of Music 1965, G)
27	Waterworld 1995, PG-13) Great movie, what else I could say? Great sights and great work from actors. And well, If the world would get sunken for real again, what the life on the water surface world would be? It could be like the movie shows, but theres tons of alternatives as well...
28	Dead Poets Society 1989, PG)
29	Kingdom of Heaven 2005, R) When I first started to watch this movie I were like, umm when it starts, but not long and it had took me into it's deep touch... I kept watching it, and didnt even realize befor it had ended. I was like, huh already? I want more...... Filming itself were great work, and also actors did do good work too.
30	The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe 2005, PG)
31	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian 2008, PG)
32	G.I. Jane 1997, R)
33	The Island 2005, PG-13)
34	Eragon 2006, PG) Really great movie, somewhere they tho coulda used the computer bit less, but all together great And as later adding, Im reading the book right now, and honestly the stories r totally different even they r same, u wont know bfor u've tried it out, i suggest u to do so
35	Night at the Museum 2006, PG) A great movie, never thought Stiller would do such a great acting, but he actually did this time. Good job. I want T-rex doggie too :P "tseh tseh rexie" - Also let's say Williams were again doing great work! Story itself woulda been lame unless there were so much funny action, and never to forget those littleguys Jad and roman guy which name i dont remember, they were great... "I trust in you" and what he finds, huge battlefield... And the roman guy capitured at Wild West... oh boy a great movie indeed!
36	National Treasure: Book of Secrets 2007, PG)
37	Déjà Vu 2006, PG-13)
38	Just My Luck 2006, PG-13)
39	The Parent Trap 1998, PG) One of best from Lohan, I did really like this one and some parts i couldnt stop laughin. "Which of us is Annie" "are you sure it is Annie" and all those tricks against "Mer" Well those tricks did what were required hehe
40	Freaky Friday 2003, PG)

56	The Santa Clause 1994, PG)
57	Cheaper by the Dozen 2003, PG)
58	Secret Window 2004, PG-13) One of the best from King, keeps on the thought thru whole movie. Thinking of who and where and what, but the end, as usually with King (I've readed a lot of he's books) is suprising and nothing what you could have expected, well few could have but not main popularity.. Enjoyable from the start to the end.
59	The Terminator 1984, R)
60	Terminator 2: Judgment Day 1991, R)
61	High School Musical 3: Senior Year 2008, G)
62	High School Musical 2 2007, G)
63	High School Musical 2006, G) It was great movie, I was tho suprised about how easily this "mean girl" took the losing to this new girl in the end... But well, if there woulda been a lot more fight the movie woulda been double as long as it were and it mightve in that case started to be boring... This time, good humour not too long nor too short, great movie.
64	Men in Black 1997, PG-13)
65	Men in Black II 2002, PG-13)
66	Fast & Furious 2009, PG-13)

68	Anger Management 2003, PG-13)
69	War of the Worlds 2005, PG-13)
70	The Last Samurai 2003, R) It aint sad, it aint happy, but still always I laugh and cry when I see it
71	Memoirs of a Geisha 2005, PG-13)
72	Jadesoturi (Jade Warrior) 2006, PG-13) Artistic movie, most of my friends who've seen this did not understand the movie fully, but I loved it. Really artistic movie, which requires more than just sitting and watching, I would recommend this still to almost anyone.

74	Jurassic Park 1993, PG-13)
75	Ringu 2 (Ring 2) 1999, Unrated)

83	Mission Impossible 2 2000, PG-13)
84	Highlander II: The Quickening (Highlander 2) 1991, R)
85	Nirvana 1996, R) In some parts really great movie, and in some parts stops and starts to stamp round in the sircle... Whole paggage is good but some parts couldve just took off.
86	Forrest Gump 1994, PG-13)
87	Mission: Impossible III 2006, PG-13)
88	Bordertown 2007, R)
89	Legends of the Fall 1994, R) I was moved when i saw this movie.... War can do much bad to ppls mind.... Those who are stronger have always go thru more than others, and if they weren't stronger they would be the ones who die young.... That's my opinion...
90	Firestarter 1984, R)
91	Fight Club 1999, R)
92	Blow 2001, R)
93	Bruce Almighty 2003, PG-13) What would you do if you'd get the powers of God for day or few? Blow the wind to see buts? Well wether u did or didnt do, you must always face the cost of the things you've done. Not every thing you wanted will be good thing also...
94	Seven Years in Tibet 1997, PG-13)
95	Evan Almighty 2007, PG)
96	Interview with the Vampire 1994, R)
97	Dr. Dolittle 2 2001, PG)
98	Stephen King's It 1990, Unrated)
99	Dr. Dolittle 3 2006, PG) Some times during the movie I wondered why didnt she get seen or so yet, but well it was part of the movie... And again teaching, perhaps the what you want is not best for you but the what you cannot expect. And if it is best for you, most likely everything will turn pretty great.
100	Dr. Dolittle 1998, PG-13)
101	Ice Princess 2005, G)
102	Hitch 2005, PG-13) Not too sure tho... But well...
103	Daddy Day Care 2003, PG)
104	The Day the Earth Stood Still 2008, PG-13)
105	Big Daddy 1999, PG-13)
106	Little Nicky 2000, PG-13) "I'm sure Ozzy comes soon...." "Ye right..." "seee!!!!" hahahaa I just love Sandlers movies
107	Billy Madison 1995, PG-13) It was great! How can boy turn into a man - put him on the school bench! Once again great movie from Sandler, I can always watch these whole evening thru and totally forget the time.
108	Spanglish 2004, PG-13) Not the best from Sandler but good as drama... I wouldnt put this in Comedy section even it have placed in there. How life can change when move to new world, into totally new culture and totally new language... This tells something about it, but i'm sure theres still a lot more to change within this...
109	Mrs. Doubtfire 1993, PG-13) You lose your children, you cannot even see them anymore. What you do? You discuise to be a nanny and see your children even more you did before, and get paid from it as well. One thing leads to another and soon you get revealed, but how wil mom take it?
110	Jumanji 1995, PG) Sometimes the animation were bit lowsy, but let's that be forgiven because year were so early for animation. Story itself were great, and theres not many Williams movie I wouldnt laugh while watching, he's great actor and puts all of himself in movies he does act in.
111	Mr. Deeds 2002, PG-13)
112	Airheads 1994, PG-13)
113	Click 2006, PG-13) Thinking about it, doesn't everyone of us have sometimes the feeling "wish i could rewind this"... Familiar feeling, and well click is awesome way to show out how bad it would actually work, while rewinding you would miss a lot of things and many important parts of the life. Isin't it that how, in the end u notice afterall it's good to have bad things too, because it makes us to reconize the good moments form the bad moments. For as really "overloaded" example, doesn't stepping on nail feel like heaveng after sawing the arm off ur body?
114	Happy Gilmore 1996, PG-13)
115	Underworld 2003, R)
116	Underworld: Evolution 2006, R)
117	Twelve Monkeys (12 Monkeys) 1995, R)
118	Twilight 2008, PG-13)
119	The Forgotten 2004, PG-13)
120	Frozen Land (Paha maa) 2005, Unrated)
121	Dr. Dolittle: Tail to the Chief 2008, PG) A lot better from Kyla this time (according to Dr. Dolitle 3), hard times with presidents first dog till the end. The result is teaching and Maya learns a lot about herself too during the "fight of wills" with Presidents dog.
122	Pearl Harbor 2001, PG-13) touching, truly
123	Romeo + Juliet 1996, PG-13)
124	Catch Me If You Can 2002, PG-13)
125	Blood Diamond 2006, R) This story actually is based on true story even it aint, this have been and is still truth in some poorest African, and why not other lands too... It's good to get people think how many people actually have died for that diamond they want so badly... Actors/Actress did do great work. I can only say DiCaprio have became an man from that kid which he were since last movies i've seen from him.
126	Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest 2006, PG-13) Really great movie, especially the get the key part on island ;) See it and you know what I mean ;)
127	Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End 2007, PG-13) as great as the 2 first parts... ended like it can have more parts but also like it could end right there.... we cant know if there is more to come..
128	Titanic (in 3D) 2012, PG-13) Nice movie, but so many times watched when at age of 10 so not going to watch even soon again.
129	Coyote Ugly 2000, PG-13)
130	Herbie: Fully Loaded 2005, G) I did like a lot old herbies when i were child, so I did not expect too much from this one.. Good old movies rarely are great when raised up again with new actors/actresses, but this one suprised me totally. Good work from Lohan.
131	Ace Ventura: Pet Detective 1994, PG-13) I like more the "nature calls" but good one too ;)
132	Ace Ventura - When Nature Calls 1995, PG-13)
133	My Neighbor Totoro 1988, G)
134	Gedo senki (Tales from Earthsea) 2006, PG-13)
135	Poseidon 2006, PG-13)
136	Bolt 2008, PG)
137	Kruistocht in spijkerbroek (Crusade in Jeans) (Crusade: A March Through Time) 2007, PG)
138	Marley & Me 2008, PG)
139	Knowing 2009, PG-13)
140	Hannah Montana: The Movie 2009, G)
141	The Twilight Saga: New Moon 2009, PG-13)
142	The Outsiders 1983, PG) Usually when I watch a movie based on book the movie is lame aside the book and I keep shouting "no no no, it didnt go that way!!" etc during seeing the movie or if i had seen the movie before the book after reading the book i never felt to see the movie again. But, the outsiders follows the story of the novel hand in hand, even some replics appears to be exactly same as in the book only little from the movie ending was missing but only so little it did not disturb me at all. Ive liked the book since the first time Ive readed it to the last times (and thats many many times between) as well as I love this movie from the each time I've seen it. No-one but coppola could create a movie like this from a book. I enjoy and I can also recommend you to read the book by S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders.
