I love this movie, really fun to watch, well directed and great acting.
13
The Shawshank Redemption (1994,  R)
The Shawshank Redemption
Without a single riot scene or horrific effect, it tells a slow, gentle story of camaraderie and growth, with an ending that abruptly finds poetic justice in what has come before.
14
Bicentennial Man (1999,  PG)
15
The Good Son (1993,  R)

Fun serial killer movie with a few twists and turns.

Almost Famous
wow, I wasn't expecting it to be that good.
21
Million Dollar Baby (2004,  PG-13)
Million Dollar Baby
Has a lot of complexity to it but I tend to drift off in long movies, I liked the the parts I saw.
22
Training Day (2001,  R)
Training Day
I never thought denzel could play a bad guy so well.
23
Fight Club (1999,  R)
Fight Club
One of my all time top 5 favorite movies :)
24
The Passion of the Christ (2004,  R)
The Passion of the Christ
Nothing new, a new way to work your guilt with exaggerated amounts of gore.
25
Insomnia (2002,  R)
Insomnia
WIlliams in a serious role :-o was okay, good acting and a moderately interesting plot.
26
The Upside of Anger (2005,  R)
The Upside of Anger
I nice entertaining drama with some dark comedy and a few twists, :D
27
Thirteen (2003,  R)
Thirteen
It shows an inconvenient truth that everyone should be aware of.
28
The Usual Suspects (1995,  R)
The Usual Suspects
Most modern mystery flicks try so hard to have twist and turns and just end up with an over kill, this one doesn't and keeps you in suspense till the end...
29
The Godfather (1972,  R)
The Godfather
pff, as If I'd go into giving such a good film one of my lazy reviews.
30
The Godfather, Part II (1974,  R)
31
Donnie Darko (2001,  R)
Donnie Darko
Answers aren't simply handed out, rather the viewer is left to draw many conclusions instead and thats something I liked, each can interpret their own message and mine was about destiny.
32
Scarface (1983,  R)
Scarface
If the movie has a flaw, it's that it comes at you like a raging bull. It doesn't so much engage the viewer as assault him. ''Scarface'' is as voracious and unyielding a production as Tony Montana himself. Nothing is left to the viewer's imagination and that's not always bad :as seen in this case.
33
Phone Booth (2003,  R)
Phone Booth
A film that can keep the star in a phone booth for almost the entire length of the film deserves credit :)
34
Reservoir Dogs (1992,  R)
Reservoir Dogs
Timeless classic, I loved the humor that was in it and of course it had the Tarantino magic.
35
21 (2008,  PG-13)
21
Had me entertained throughout the movie, a bit predictable but enjoyable.
36
Memoirs of a Geisha (2005,  PG-13)
Memoirs of a Geisha
A sexed up version of Cinderella? Meh kinda disappointed with the Chinese actresses portraying Japanese but the scenery and some of the shots were beautiful.
37
The Bank Job (2008,  R)
The Bank Job
Not really much action...but I guess we're use to all the hollywood effects when this is based on a true story, it was good enough.
38
The Fountain (2006,  PG-13)
The Fountain
One of thew few magical films I have had the honor of watching, like any art it's not everybody's cup of tea...must been seen a few times to be understood completely, exquisite acting, love the melody...it has a soulful and romantic interpretation of desperation and peace which is what touched me.
39
The Prestige (2006,  PG-13)
The Prestige
Nolan has gotten the essence of magic which is misdirection and nicely adapted it into a film, a must see.
40
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975,  R)

Denzel is one heck of an actor...amazing cast, bit to long for my short attention span but it was worth it.
43
Into the Wild (2007,  R)
Into the Wild
I read the book when I was young and it was one of those books that changed my perspective on things, the movie wasn't what I expected but then again it never is after reading the book, beautifully shot I thoroughly enjoyed it.
44
The Virgin Suicides (2000,  R)
The Virgin Suicides
A interesting way of showing how it is to be a teenage girl trapped by controlling parents, each of the girls with her own different character but all sharing the same ambiguous idea.
45
Lords of Dogtown (2005,  PG-13)
Lords of Dogtown
Mostly watched it for Heath but ended up submerged into the story shortly into the movie.
46
American Beauty (1999,  R)
American Beauty
A deep, wonderful, penetrating film; extraordinary irony in a psychological drama about the American life with a diverse set of strange characters.
47
Alpha Dog (2007,  R)
Alpha Dog
True events or not the story isn't exactly the most interesting....theres tons of better stuff to do a movie on, but it was decent enough.
48
Heat (1995,  R)
Heat
It was okay but a bit overrated...had moments were it dragged on but the action scenes were cool and it was nice seeing Pacino and Deniro together.
49
No Country for Old Men (2007,  R)
No Country for Old Men
Theres something about Bardem;s character that I love =), and leaving things to your own interpretation by observing the details was something I enjoyed.

56
The Godfather, Part III (1990,  R)
The Godfather, Part III
Not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, sure it isn't as powerful as the first two but it had a moderately climatic ending I thought was well shot, there could of always have been improvements though...for one taking out eye candy sophia and putting in a better actress.
57
Sleuth (2007,  R)

Haven't seen the original so won't give a proper review till I do...it was good but dragged on at times.

Sometimes predictable and dragged on but looking at it through the right eyes you will see a beautiful (yet simple) peace of cinematography the same way they could see Neverland :)
67
The Pianist (2002,  R)
The Pianist
terrific movie, if relentlessly gritty and realistic...dragged on a bit too long for me.
68
Good Will Hunting (1997,  R)
Good Will Hunting
Fantastic film, I think it reaches out to some people more than others...and I'm one of those lucky few :)
69
Dead Poets Society (1989,  PG)
Dead Poets Society
Sometimes boring, it was necessary to build up all the story/characters and what they were going through or how they were opening their eyes, best Robin Williams performance I've seen, this movies deals with a simple message that each interprets in their own way.
70
Under the Same Moon (La Misma Luna) (2008,  PG-13)

Coming from a Latin background and having experienced some of those obstacles myself I found this movie very heart warming, beautiful and all around great.
71
Stranger Than Fiction (2006,  PG-13)
Stranger Than Fiction
Better than most people give it credit...it's a unique story plot well acted out in the only interesting role I've seen Farrell play, though I found it more of a comedy than an actual drama :).
72
La Haine (Hate) (1996,  R)
La Haine (Hate)
One of the films I remember making an impact on me growing up...Europe was the place to be in the 90's.
73

The Secret Garden
Classical movie from my childhood, I thought Dickon was the coolest hehe, he could speak to animals! :D.
74
Gone Baby Gone (2007,  R)
Gone Baby Gone
I've never liked Ben Affleck much but I must say he did a great job directing this film and making in with real life characters you'd be able to find in those circumstances...complex but not confusing plot.
75
The Air I Breathe (2008,  R)
The Air I Breathe
Happy, Sad, Funny, Scary..this movie had it all with a nice full circle ending to the plot where all stories meet :)
76
The Pursuit of Happyness (2006,  PG-13)
The Pursuit of Happyness
Haha since when are Stock Brokers all happy?

Great acting, story development and heart warming charactes pursuit for his "American Dream" but in a way it annoyed me in the "capitalist indoctrination" they made.
77
Children of Men (2006,  R)
Children of Men
Incredible cinematography.
78
Atonement (2007,  R)
Atonement
Being hinest the plot was kind of predictable...the story is touching enough but wins the stars for this film is clearly the cinematography.
79
The Illusionist (2006,  PG-13)
The Illusionist
Hate to say it...but I found it kind of predictable, still...well made and quite entertaining.
80
The Greatest Show on Earth (1952,  Unrated)

Sure it's not the most interesting plot...but loving the circus growing up it brag back lots of memories of how incredible the ambience and spirits of the circus life was.
81
The Butterfly Effect (2004,  R)
The Butterfly Effect
In the style of Donnie Darko...a well made psychedelic fantasy, science fiction, horror story with an interesting message.
82
What Dreams May Come (1998,  PG-13)
What Dreams May Come
One of the most underrated movies I've watched in a while, has some of the best special effects in cinematography I've seen, beautiful shots & lighting, heart warming plot and talented actors (except the girl who I thought was a boy).
83
Pay It Forward (2000,  PG-13)
Pay It Forward
Liked the concept of the project Trevor had, but the ending kind of spoiled the whole thing for me.
84
The Grifters (1990,  R)
The Grifters
Still one of the best grifters movies out to date though I would of liked a twist ending.
85
Firewall (2006,  PG-13)

The story has been overdone to many times to care for it...at least it had a good take on it and kept you watching though no twist or turn at the end.
86
Antitrust (2001,  PG-13)
Antitrust
Entertaining for the geeky brain.
87
Slumdog Millionaire (2008,  R)

88
Apollo 13 (1995,  PG)
89
The Da Vinci Code (2006,  PG-13)
The Da Vinci Code
Interesting approach with fun twists and turns, I dont see why so many people got upset about Dan Browns book...it's basically fantasy theories (Da Vincis Code) trying to "unmask" fantasy stories (The Bible).
90
The Wrestler (2008,  R)
The Wrestler
The hard reality of wrestling showed in its true colors...I dont think it was deserving of so many awards though, dragged on at times.

Gattaca
Follow your dreams and beat the odds now matter what.It's a good cast, intelligent story and is none the less entertaining.
92

Loved Cage's performance in this, the script of a movie making the movie is very original which is what he aimed for I imagine.
93
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008,  PG-13)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
It's beautiful at parts and touching, the story development was wonderful and the acting as you'd expect from such actors.

Jolie does a wonderful role, it makes being crazy seem like something to be proud of
95

Welcome to the Dollhouse

Jimmy and Judy
Similar to Badlands and Natural Born Killers meets Bonnie and Clyde...but it was really messed up at times.
98
GoodFellas (1990,  R)

Took me this long to watch it and it was worth the wait, I like the narration style they used for it.
99

The concept had potential but they didn't follow through.

Mediocre at most considering the cast it had.
101
Before Women Had Wings (1997,  Unrated)

Shows the hard things some kids have to put up with, Oprah was pretty good in her role.
102
