Fried Green Tomatoes 1991,  PG-13)
Fried Green Tomatoes
I wanted to be Idgy from the moment she jumped off the train, but it was the fact that she snagged Mary-Louise Parker that really made me envious. Tremendous story about friendship between women, no matter how you view the relationship between Ruth and Idgy.

Gone With the Wind 1939,  G)
Gone With the Wind
If I can still watch this in heaven, I'll be content for eternity.

Rebel Without a Cause 1955,  PG-13)
Rebel Without a Cause
It's the three stars in this, Dean, Wood, and Mineo, that make this "picture" unforgettable. Read about the back scenes antics for an even closer look at these three incredible stars- all three of which died way before their time.

Saving Private Ryan 1998,  R)
Saving Private Ryan
Ok, so it IS one of my all time faves, but it gets half a star knocked off for stupid cameos. Ted Danson? Really, Spielberg? Otherwise, the best WW2 movie EVER!
5
Dazed and Confused 1993,  R)
Dazed and Confused
This movie is so good, it makes me want to cry out of pure joy. I'm not kidding. It is the most underrated film in history. There is no other movie about teenagers that even comes close. No, not even the freaking Breakfast Club!

Bringing Up Baby 1938,  Unrated)
Bringing Up Baby
A lot of people don't know about this movie. But, I PROMISE you- it IS the funniest romance ever made. Not one second of it is UNfunny.
7
North by Northwest 1959,  Unrated)
North by Northwest
My personal favorite of Hitchcock's suspense pieces, though not everyone agrees. I just happen to love Cary Grant...
8
Grease 1978,  PG)
Grease
What can I say? I am just the perfect age, the perfect gender, and I know every word to every song. Still, I recognize the "cheese factor".

Red River 1948,  Unrated)
Red River
Is it better than Wayne's famous "The Searchers"? I don't know, but Montgomery Clift is just so perfect in his role against Wayne. I think that's what makes the slight difference.
10
Tombstone 1993,  R)
Tombstone
Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday... "I'll be your huckleberry"... Need I say more?

Léon (The Professional) 1994,  R)
Léon (The Professional)
If you have a weak stomach, you may want to stay away. If not, then see this weird little masterpiece right away. Natalie Portman's first leading role at, what, 11 years old??? And already you can see that she's brilliant.
12
Heathers 1988,  R)
Heathers
There will never be another movie like this again, because audiences now are too stupid to get it. Thank God, I guess, for the cynicism and broodiness of the early 90's.
13
Back to the Future 1985,  PG)
Back to the Future
Just like E.T. three years earlier, I walked out of the theatre after seeing Back to the Future knowing that I wanted to tell stories for a living when I grew up. And 24 years later, I still could never come up with a concoction like this one.
14
But I'm A Cheerleader 1999,  R)
But I'm A Cheerleader
Cute, little over-the-top comedy!
15
Saved! 2003,  PG-13)
Saved!
Well balanced perspective on modern Christianity. (And you'll be SHOCKED to see that Mandy Moore can be quite hilarious!)
16
Bound 1996,  R)
Bound
Stylish gangster movie with a lesbian twist. Heavy on sexuality, so... don't see this if you have a problem with lesbian sex.
17
Some Like It Hot 1959,  Unrated)
18
Donnie Darko 2001,  R)
Donnie Darko
Forgot this on my favorites list, but it belongs there. And this has NOTHING to do with Drew!
