Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope
This the one that started it all. If my parents hadn't taken me to see this, I would probably be a totally different person. And not for the better.

Thank goodness there's someone out there who understands how to make GOOD adventure movies! I think of what Whedon had to accomplish by making a movie that was a sequel to the t.v. show, that would get new people up to speed, and somehow be entertaining to everyone. The fact that he was able to pull it off makes this movie a miracle in more ways than one. Awesome.

I liked Dead Alive, loved Heavenly Creatures, but when I saw this...I knew Peter Jackson was a force to be reckoned with. One of the few movies that feels like it was made just for me.

The most perfect movie I've ever seen. Acting, writing, directing, music, sets, costumes, everything perfect.

Superman 1978,  PG)
Superman
This is THE comic book movie. Nowadays comic movie are a fixture of summertime, but back in the day it was an incredibly exciting moment to see a pages come to life on screen. This movie set the bar for me, and nothing else has passed it. Superman is a tough story to tell right (Bryan Singer knows), but dispite the movies flaws, Richard Donner crafted an amazing film.

North by Northwest 1959,  Unrated)
North by Northwest
There's not too many filmakers I would call a master of the artform, but Alfred Hitchcock is no doubt a master. This movie is him working at the top of his game. Action, comedy, suspense, and romance all together in one presentation. Cary Grant carries it as only Cary Grant can, flawless.

Speed Racer 2008,  PG)
Speed Racer
This is the movie I waited my entire life for. I know it's not a great movie. It barely passes as a good movie, but it is completely original and I have always been a HUGE Speed racer fan. i'll tell anyone, if this movie was two hot wheels cars going around a plastic track for two hours, I would still love it. That's how much I've wanted to see Speed racer on the big screen. A true sign of love for me is every time I see my poster of the movie hanging up, it brings a smile to my face. Goofy, cartoony, silly, over-caffinated, emotional, thrilling and a dream come true. The reason to own a Blu Ray player and a HD TV.
