Most of Hitchcock's movies are terrific, but this one raised the bar for horror for its time and still holds it own. |

The books are priceless, and these movies do them justice. Still feel the first of the three is flawless and a true classic. |

Why Jaws? Well did anyone ever go in the water again after this movie? Sets the bar for Monster movies. |
|

Very underrated movie outside film schools. you have to see it to appreciate it. |
|
| 15 |
Pulp Fiction 1994, R)
Tarrantino hit this one out of the park. The dialogue master set the bar for these type of multi-story movies. The 8 million gun barrels of snatch would be nothing if not for this movie... |

John Ford Western Classic...enough said. |
|
| 17 |
City Lights 1931, G)
The Comedy godfather shows why he was an early movie genius. |

Braveheart 1995, R)
Mel Gibson is a fantastic director, "drinking aside" This movie is rivoting and graphic...love it. |
|
| 19 |
Das Boot (The Boat) 1981, R)
Talk about tension...Oh and it should only be watched in German w/subtitles...otherwise you are not there with them in the sub. |
|
| 20 |
The Shawshank Redemption 1994, R)
Steven King is a horror genius, but this actually turned out to be the best adaptation of his to date. |
|
| 21 |
Bringing Up Baby 1938, Unrated)
Great comedy with flawless acting from Hepburn and Grant...they really don't make movies like this anymore. |
