Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980,  PG)
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
"Empire had the better ending. Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader is his father, uh, Han gets frozen, taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings."

yep best movie ever.

Nothing will ever creep me out like those damn little girls. and what the hell are those people doing at the end of the hall with masks on? steven king & stanley kubrick is a killer combo! best scary movie ever!

a very good movie. spielberg is the man! christian bale is fantastic as a very young actor. an emotional story about war and identity and the loss of youth and innocence. fantastic acting, fantastic directing and a good story.

A Christmas Story (1983,  PG)

what's christmas without a christmas story? jean sheperd's stories are great and this movie has simply meshed its way into the fabric of my and i think most of america's christmas celebration.

The Thing (1982,  R)
The Thing
some seriously fun sci-fi horror! the landmark special effects have to be the biggest attraction in this flick. truly surprising, gruesome and impressive decades later. john carpenter really builds up the drama and conducts the action masterfully. distrust and paranoia consume the humans as the thing consumes everything. kurt russell is a badass and wilford brimley is awesome!
21
The 'Burbs (1989,  PG)

maybe the best ever at combining comedy with an attempt at seriousness. outstanding lines throughout, and exceptional cast. nothing beats it for me. i will continue to enjoy it over and over and over again!

Stand by Me (1986,  R)
30
Reds (1981,  PG)
Reds
a wonderful dramatic love story about real people looking for something to live for... or die for. deftly helmed by warren beatty who also turns in a great performance as does the entire cast.
31
The Untouchables (1987,  R)
32
Aliens (1986,  R)
Aliens
this is exactly what a sequel should be: continue the first movie's story, expand on the things that were successful and add a lot more. the addition of a lot more aliens and the fantastic special effects that bring them to life inevitably increases the action from the first movie. there is more action than suspense but "aliens" still provides some scares. bottom line: this movie is badass!
33
The Karate Kid (1984,  PG)
34
Full Metal Jacket (1987,  R)
35
When Harry Met Sally (1989,  R)
36

Batman (1989,  PG-13)

tim burton, the dark knight, the perfect combo. the actors are great. there's a little too much early 90's stuff - i know that doesn't make much sense, but parts of the movie look like "in living color". anyway i like it.
