Batman 1989, PG-13)
Even in the face of Christopher Nolan's truly awesome new Batman film franchise, Tim Burton's movie remains one of my favorite comic book films, and a great interpretation of Batman. Michael Keaton's Batman is second only to Christian Bale's, and Jack Nicholson makes a truly spectacular Joker. Love it! |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie 1990, PG)
This remains my absolute favorite comic book movie of all time. My hat's off to the screenwriters, because they managed to combine the best elements of the original comic book series with the best elements of the wildly popular TV show, and blend them together to create what I consider to be the definitive version of the TMNT. Awesome, awesome flick. |

Sleeping Beauty 1959, G)
The "Beauty and the Beast" of its time, "Sleeping Beauty" is an extremely high point in Disney's laudable history of animated features. The imagery and music are gorgeous, and the characters and storyline are strong. |

The Little Mermaid 1989, G)

Terminator 2: Judgment Day 1991, R)

|
| 25 |
Aliens 1986, R)
|
|
| 26 |
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 1971, G)
This terrific musical will still be beloved by fans of all ages long after Tim Burton's atrocious "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" has been relegated to its rightful place in obscurity. |

The Man Who Would Be King 1975, PG)
|
|
| 31 |
Cape Fear 1991, R)
A rare case of a remake outdoing the original. Robert De Niro's performance is the very definition of tour de force. |
|
| 32 |
D.O.A. 1988, R)
Head-over-heels superior to the 1950 snoozefest. |
|
| 33 |
The Addams Family 1991, PG-13)
One of the few TV-to-movie adaptations that really, really works. This is a supremely creative, humorous, and faithful portrayal of the Addams Family, with masterful performances by all, especially Raul Julia as Gomez and Christopher Lloyd as Fester. |
|
| 34 |
Die Hard 1988, R)
|
|
| 35 |
Shoot 'Em Up 2007, R)
|
|

The Greatest Story Ever Told 1965, G)
The finest retelling of Jesus' story ever committed to film. Max Von Sydow turns in an excellent performance as Jesus Christ. |

The Big Lebowski 1998, R)

Scrooge 1970, G)
My all-time favorite movie version of "A Christmas Carol". |

The Muppet Christmas Carol 1992, G)
A Christmas Eve tradition! |

| 45 |
Apocalypse Now 1979, R)
|
|
| 46 |
The Flintstones 1994, PG)
Like the Addams Family movie, this adaptation of "The Flintstones" really gets it right. The casting is spot-on, and the props and scenery all look like they were lifted directly from the TV show. Very well done. |
|
| 47 |
Spy Hard 1996, PG-13)
|
|
| 48 |
Jaws 1975, PG)
|
|
| 49 |
1776 1972, PG)
Not strictly historically accurate, but fun, with good music, good acting, and plenty of humor. One of my very favorite musicals. |
