A movie you can't help but love.
15
The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973,  G)

It's not "Airplane!", but it's the next-funniest film in the parody genre.

Mezmerizing. My only gripe was the Aimee Mann siing-along in the last hour.
29
Million Dollar Baby (2004,  PG-13)

Eastwood's finest film of the past twenty years, all apologies to Mystic River, Iwo Jima, and Unforgiven.

I don't know if De Niro's performance is the greatest in the history of cinema, but I don't know that it isn't either. Absolutely incredible film. Absolutely essential viewing for anyone who appreciates acting, directing, movies, or life... in other words, just see this fucking movie.

95
