1	Rushmore 1998, R) This film is probably the greatest movie I've ever seen. I can argue for "Raging Bull," but the ability to watch this movie so often and share it with so many has to make this number one. The comedy in this is so subtle, you don't realize how ridiculous it all is. Yet, at the same time, all of the emotions and motives are so real. "Rushmore" is a great demonstration of the self-importance we all feel that results in mindless passions and senseless pursuits.
2	Raging Bull 1980, R) A part of me has always had the inkling that jabbing fists would be painful. This was a belief that was only strengthened when mine eyes witnessed this piece of cinematic celluloid.
3	GoodFellas 1990, R)
4	Army of Darkness 1993, R)
5	Election 1999, R)
6	Ghost World 2001, R)
7	The Third Man 1949, Unrated)
8	The Shawshank Redemption 1994, R) I like this movie.
9	The Searchers 1956, Unrated)
10	Buffalo 66 1998, R)
11	Lawrence of Arabia 1962, PG)
12	Taxi Driver 1976, R)
13	Rear Window 1954, PG) This movie would have been better served had method acting been employed by the familiar-faced lead.
14	The Bridge on the River Kwai 1957, PG) This is a great movie for: a) People who fancy bridges and those structures which connect divided land masses b) People who are unimpressed with bridges and wish for events that are less than savory to occur upon their creators
15	The Godfather 1972, R)
16	Better Off Dead 1985, PG)
17	Reservoir Dogs 1992, R)
