The Big Lebowski (1998,  R)
The Big Lebowski
A tour de force of zaniness.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998,  R)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
the visuals here are incredible. the source text is superlative. and the casting is perfect. yes, it's long and confusing and, at times, unpleasant; but sometimes art ain't pretty. watch it and pour out a little for the good Doctor.

You Can Count On Me (2000,  R)
You Can Count On Me
this is an incredible study of sibling relationships and a fine portrait of small town american life in the northeast. the acting is spectacular as is the screenplay. and note men rated this higher than women. we have some enlightened dudes in the crowd, ladies.

Dancer in the Dark (2000,  R)
Dancer in the Dark
look: bjork said the experience of making this was so wrenching and brutal that she'll never do another film again. how's that for intriguing. i'm not even a dyed in the wool bjorkophile, and i found this film absolutely engaging and devastating. I HATE MUSICALS, and i love this film. (hint: don't watch this with an unsuspecting first date like i did. we felt like victims of violent crime afterwards, which isn't conducive to pleasant but asinine conversation. then again, it did force us to go to the bar.) oh, and one of the nihilists from the Big Lebowski plays the male love interest. how sweet is that?
5
The Godfather (1972,  R)
The Godfather
This is a total masterpiece, and only communists, anti-semites, and terrorists will tell you otherwise. don't trust anyone that is against the Godfather (except III -- that one blew ass).
6
Fight Club (1999,  R)
Fight Club
invigorating, freeing, ridiculous, etc. and the cast makes me want to jump into a pool of fuzzy duckies. good stuff. and, yes, this is a boy movie. but how many times have i been dragged to a girl movie? probably not enough, but a lot. so no excuses, girls.
7
GoodFellas (1990,  R)
8
The Simpsons Movie (2007,  PG-13)
