My Favorite Movies
| micc98's Rating | My Rating | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Blade Runner 1982, R)
Simply put: my all time favorite sci-fi film, from the soundtrack to the visuals, Ridley Scott creates a true classic |
|
| 2 |
Aliens 1986, R)
Different direction than Alien, but many think James Cameron did the unusual, a sequel better than the original |
|
| 3 |
Braveheart 1995, R)
FREEDOM! Mel at his best. He showed Hollywood you could have 2+hour commercial blockbuster |
|
| 4 |
The Dark Knight 2008, PG-13)
This movie works on many levels. Ledger's performance stands out, but this is just a super solid movie. Probably the best comic-based movie of all time. And that's saying something for me, considering my huge bias towards the X-Men |
|
| 5 |

American History X 1998, R)
Ed Norton is excellent and that little punk kid from Terminator 2 shows he can act as well... |
|
| 44 |
Die Hard 1988, R)
Another McTiernan masterpiece. Its much longer than his typical speedy, tight movies, but I tell you what, he doesn't waste a minute. Viewers are consumed by John McClane's harrying fight or flight adventure in the Nakatomi Bldg. |

The Departed 2006, R)
Simply put one of the best crime dramas put to film. |
|
