High Noon 1952, Unrated)
GREATEST WESTERN EVER. |
|
| 3 |
The Great Escape 1963, Unrated)
So many great actors. Film doesn't take it easy when it could pull punches. Sturges knows how to make a picture. |

Caddyshack 1980, R)
Chevy Chase when he was funny and Ted Knight in what I consider to be an Oscar turn. Michael O'Keefe is not attractive. |

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il Buono, il Brutto, il Cattivo.) 1966, R)
The epic finale of Leone's spaghetti trilogy. The final showdown redefined the genre. "Blondie!" |

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back 1980, PG)
|
|

The Magnificent Seven 1960, R)
What? This is Sturges too? You're damn right. When I found out Brynner hated McQueen I loved it even more. |

Psycho 1960, R)

Raiders of the Lost Ark (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark) 1981, PG)

Lat sau san taam (Hard-Boiled) 1992, R)
In my opinion, the greatest action film of all time. Chow Yun-Fat and Tony Leung are great and John Woo starts off insanely and ends with the greatest single-take action scene in cinematic history. |

Army of Darkness 1993, R)
AWESOME!! You are a total idiot if you don't love this flick. Bruce Campbell is the man! |
|
| 17 |
The Goonies 1985, PG)
This movie defined my childhood. I couldn't wait to find pirate treasure. Boy oh boy does real life suck it. |
|
| 18 |
Ghostbusters 1984, PG)
Everything was cool until dickless here turned of the reactor. Is this true? Yes, this man has no dick. |

|
| 23 |
The Shining 1980, R)
|
|
| 24 |
The Maltese Falcon 1941, PG)
The quintessential hardboiled detective film. Too much for me to say. Not a single throw-away moment. |
|
| 25 |
Billy Madison 1995, PG-13)
Sheer brilliance. What a novel idea. The supporting roles are filled with SNL castoffs and nothing is a throwaway. |
|
| 26 |
Wet Hot American Summer 2001, R)
There are chuckles in every scene and something to laugh out loud at every 2 minutes. Rudd steals the show. |
