	Ocool114's Rating	My Rating
1	Clerks 1994, R) It didn't make me want to make movies, but it made me think I can. A true classic, it describes the boredom of work and the way people in there early 20's get by so well. Just say it. 37...
2	Dazed and Confused 1993, R) THE movie to watch if you want to remember a bit of the good things about high school.
3	The Godfather 1972, R) On first viewing I thought it was overrated. months later, I rewatched and became a true believer. BTW, The Don is not dead, but made God an offer He couldn't refuse and is now Bill Gates.
4	Almost Famous 2000, R) Perfect movie. Watchable again and again. I like the Director's cut, Untitled, even more.
5	Donnie Darko 2001, R) Genius I tell ya. I remember getting to the last 10 minutes and pausing it. I knew how it had to end and for the first time, I genuinely thought of stopping a movie to keep from seeing it. I pressed play a minute later, and I almost cried. Beautiful film. I wish Southland Tales were as good.
6	American Beauty 1999, R) Great Script. Perfect Casting and acting, no matter what I think about Peter Ghhallager. A Suburb is a weird thing, and this movie captures that perfectly.
7	Rocky 1976, PG) Took me 20 years of my life to see this (these) movies, but once I did, I wished I had grown up on the things. Woulda made me a better person.
8	Weird Science 1985, PG-13)
9	Chill Factor 1999, R)
10	Jarhead 2005, R)
11	Final Destination 3 2006, R)
12	Final Destination 2000, R)
13	Final Destination 2 2003, R)
14	Freddy's Dead - The Final Nightmare 1991, R) Hey, it may be corny, Freddy may not be scary, The plot might suck. But it's fun!
15	Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within 2001, PG-13)
16	Urban Legends: Final Cut 2000, R)
17	Highlander III: The Sorcerer (Highlander: The Final Dimension) 1993, R)
18	V - The Final Battle (MINI-SERIES) 2002, Unrated)
19	The Godfather, Part III 1990, R)
20	The Godfather, Part II 1974, R) A lot of people think this is better than the first. I disagree. I would like to think of Michael Corleone as a man of respect. A man to love. In this he's a man to fear, and on top of that, he's a real scumbag. Oh, Mike, how u let me down.
21	Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back 2001, R) It was much better in theaters, especially watching older people who didn't get the in jokes, but it's still funny
22	Mae Day: The Crumbling of a Documentary 1992, Unrated) Well, at least Kev and Mos are funny feeding off each other. 5-10 mins. of pointlessness. But hey, Clerks came soon after!
23	Clerks II 2006, R) Had a lot more heart than the first, some bigger laughs, but it can't beat the first in inspiring this wanna be.
24	Now You Know 2002, R) fairly funy at times, but Jeff Anderson is no Kevin Smith.
25	Dogma 1999, R) Kevin Smith's goin' straight upstairs, as far as I'm concerned. No movie has made me feel like examining my faith so much.
26	Chasing Amy 1997, R) A look at the good, the bad, and the foolish things about relationships.
27	Jersey Girl 2004, PG-13) It's scary, the thought of losing the love of your life, then raising the thing that caused their death. It's a good thing you have Kev to make their conversations interesting, otherwise it'd be like pulling teeth to get me to watch it more than once. I think I'm on something like 6.
28	Mallrats 1995, R) Mallrats was the first Kevin Smith movie I saw and it has helped shape my sense of humor for years.
29	An Evening with Kevin Smith 2002, Unrated) Kevin, you the man.
30	Hitch 2005, PG-13)
31	Basket Case 1982, R) Perverse. Glad I've got it on DVD maybe it'll be better next time. I mean, it's pure schlock, and that automatically has some merit.
32	Clerks: The Lost Scene 2004, Unrated) Good to see Alyssa Jones make a cameo. Good to see Dante and Randal any form, any time.
33	The Flying Car 2002, Unrated) four minutes of Clerks way before Clerks 2. I must have watched it 10 times
34	Waterworld 1995, PG-13) The last Costner movie I've enjoyed. Its so cheesy at times, its fun.
35	Wild Wild West 1999, PG-13) Who knew Will Smith and Kevin Kline would mesh so well together? But a giant spider?
36	The Untouchables 1987, R)
37	An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder 2006, Unrated) Not as good as the first, but still worth every penny.
38	Back to the Well: Clerks II 2006, Unrated)
39	Snowball Effect: The Story of Clerks 2004, Unrated) One of the most inspiring documentaries I've ever seen. Pumping iron made me want to start working out. This one reminded me of why I wanna make films.
40	The Usual Suspects 1995, R) Tight, unpredictable heist film with a cast of actors that really try to eek the respect out of this pulp. And that works.
41	Before Sunrise 1995, R)
42	Slacker 1991, R)
43	A Scanner Darkly 2006, R)
44	Waking Life 2001, R)
45	Before Sunset 2004, R)
46	School of Rock 2003, PG-13)
47	The Newton Boys 1998, PG-13)
48	Tape 2001, R) Usually I'm hesitant about films set in one location, excluding Clerks. But like Clerks, I gave it a chance because I like the director. I was not disappointed, in fact, I really liked the tone and the dialog between the actors, who really impressed me as well.
49	Bad News Bears 2005, PG-13) meh on this film. thats all i got.
50	Ong-Bak (Ong Bak: Muay Thai Warrior) 2005, PG-13)
51	The Protector (Tom yum goong) (Warrior King) 2006, R) A truly great martial arts movie, if only for the truly great martial artis Tony Jaa. Also has a lot of heart regarding Thais and their elephants. I personally want a rhino, but whatever...
52	Elizabethtown 2005, PG-13) As with Any Cameron Crowe film, I enjoyed the dialog but not much else, unfortunately.
53	Say Anything... 1989, PG-13) I wish I was Lloyd Dobbler.
54	Vanilla Sky 2001, R)
55	Jerry Maguire 1996, R)
56	Mystery, Alaska 1999, R)
57	Hedwig and the Angry Inch 2001, R) I truly love this movie. It rocks. It's funny, It's kinda sad, and literally, it rocks. The Director, John Cameron Mitchell, adapts from his stage play. I wish I could say that I like John Cameron Mitchell. But I saw his second movie Shortbus. And I have to say, it's shit. Maybe time for a Hedwig sequel?
