I literally saw this nine times on it's initial release. |
|
| 8 |
Office Space (1999, R)
|
|
| 9 |
Taxi Driver (1976, R)
This fucked-up movie made by a bunch of fucked-up young people has no business being this great, but it really is. |
|
| 10 |
The Simpsons Movie (2007, PG-13)
|
|
| 11 |
The Wizard of Oz (1939, G)

|
| 16 |
La Règle du Jeu (The Rules of the Game) (1950, Unrated)
|
|
| 17 |
Twelve Monkeys (12 Monkeys) (1995, R)
Seek out "La Jete", the short film this is adapted from. |
|
| 18 |
Psycho (1960, R)
Hitchcock liked to pretend this was a fun movie, but I think it was made by a sexually frustrated middle-aged man terrified of his own mortality and dwelling on the futility of struggle. It's a classic, but a tough one to take if you really let yourself get enveloped in itl. |
|
| 19 |
Short Cuts (1993, R)
Incredible. I would trade in Robert Altman's whole career for this one film. |
|
| 20 |
The Last Picture Show (1971, R)
|
|
| 21 |
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968, G)

|
| 22 |
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958, Unrated)
|
|
| 23 |

|
| 35 |
Paris, Texas (1984, R)
A masterpiece. Somehow the marraige of Wenders, Shepard, and Kit Carson (who wrote the third act almost entirely by himself) manged to bring out the best in each other. I know Wenders fans tend to prefer some other films but to me this is as great as they come. |

"You never got me down, Ray. Ya hear me? Never got me down." Pardon me, I have to go cry now. |

Mean Streets (1973, R)
One of Scorsese's greats. He's younger and closer to the life he's filming here, and it shows in it's power and detail. |

|
|
| 93 |
I'm Not There (2007, R)
|

A Scanner Darkly (2006, R)
One of my favorite films from the past ten years. Moving, comical, and thought-provoking. |
|
| 95 |
Children of Men (2006, R)
Excellent film for the Bush era. |
|
| 96 |
Knocked Up (2007, R)
|
|
| 97 |
The Dark Knight (2008, PG-13)
Mostly due to one great performance - you know who. It's a classic villain right up there with something Charles Laughton or Peter Lorre would've done. |

The Virgin Suicides (2000, R)
I think this is damn close to perfect. Ed Lachman is my favorite cinematographer working today. |
|
| 109 |
A Streetcar Named Desire (1951, PG)
Probably the best play-to-film adaptation ever. |
|
| 110 |
The Royal Tenenbaums (2001, R)
A (grown-up, depressed) family classic. |
|
| 111 |
The Godfather (1972, R)

|
| 112 |
House of Games (1987, R)
