20	Body Parts (1991, R)
21	MAS*H (MASH) (1970, PG)
22	High Anxiety (1977, PG)
23	The Sea Inside (Mar Adentro) (The Sea Within) (2004, PG-13) A beautiful and powerfully moving story, wonderfully acted (in Spanish), much food for thought... but mostly it will move your heart. Way better than the Oscar "No Country"
24	Wit (2001, PG-13)
25	Sicko (2007, PG-13) I'd give it ten for saying what needs said well but a bit too much spin so a 9/10
26	Patch Adams (1998, PG-13)
27	Terms of Endearment (1983, PG)
28	Philadelphia (1993, PG-13)
29	The Doctor (1991, PG-13)
30	One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975, R)
31	Ironweed (1987, R)
32	Denis Leary: No Cure for Cancer (1992, Unrated)
33	The Cure (1995, PG-13)
34	Rain Man (1988, R)
35	The Bucket List (2007, PG-13) An impossible story of course with the poor bright men and his necessary inordinately lonely estranged uber rich side kick doing things that would make us healthy ones sore. A good fable none the less and enjoyable chemistry with two veteran pros.
36	My Life Without Me (2003, R)
37	The Mighty (1998, PG-13)
38	Away from Her (2007, PG-13)
39	The Savages (2007, R) The leads are such a joy to watch, and the topic well portrayed. Won AFI movie of the year selection 2007.
40	Life as a House (2001, R)
41	The Wackness (2008, R) A brilliant movie. Great soundtrack. Kingsley has another stellar script which he aces in yet another character act. Josh Peck is solidly believable and in fact the whole cast does well. Weak point I think is that some of the realism doesn't pan for me - no ODs, no violence, no !@#$'d up arguments. But a must see hit.
42	The Elephant Man (1980, PG) What a cast! A fine movie. David Lynch's best work. Fabulous era settings and cinematography. Nominated for 8 Oscars. Got none!!!
43	Smultronstället (Wild Strawberries) (1957, Unrated)
44	Mask (1985, PG-13)
45	Ikiru (Doomed) (Living) (To Live) (1956, PG)
46	The Beautiful Truth (2008, Unrated)
47	The Story of Louis Pasteur (1936, Unrated)
48	The Memory Keeper's Daughter (2008, G)
49	Henry Poole Is Here (2008, PG)
50	Lost Song (2008, Unrated)
51	Rails & Ties (2007, PG-13)
52	One Week (2008, Unrated) Canadian biker road movie. Dude gets cancer and goes to find meaning. Or so I gather. Mixed reviews
53	Shi gan (Time) (2007, Unrated)
54	Awakenings (1990, PG-13)
55	The First Vampire: Don't Fall for the Devil's Illusions (2004, Unrated) A short movie. It can be downloaded from iTunes. It is a short story of the fears of villagers and the fight by a physician to understand the illness that led to blood hunger. A little known historical vignette.
56	Okuribito (Departures) (2009, PG-13)
57	Open Your Eyes (Abre los ojos) (Permanent Midnight) (1999, R)
