| 2 |
High Noon (1952, Unrated)
GREATEST WESTERN EVER. |
|
| 3 |
The Great Escape (1963, Unrated)
So many great actors. Film doesn't take it easy when it could pull punches. Sturges knows how to make a picture. |
|
| 4 |
Caddyshack (1980, R)
Chevy Chase when he was funny and Ted Knight in what I consider to be an Oscar turn. Michael O'Keefe is not attractive. |
|
| 5 |
Casablanca (1943, Unrated)

The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (2001, PG-13)

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il Buono, il Brutto, il Cattivo.) (1966, R)
The epic finale of Leone's spaghetti trilogy. The final showdown redefined the genre. "Blondie!" |
|
| 10 |
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980, PG)
|
|
| 11 |
The Magnificent Seven (1960, Unrated)
What? This is Sturges too? You're damn right. When I found out Brynner hated McQueen I loved it even more. |

Psycho (1960, R)

Raiders of the Lost Ark (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark) (1981, PG)

Sergeant York (1941, Unrated)

|
| 15 |
Lat sau san taam (Hard-Boiled) (1992, R)
In my opinion, the greatest action film of all time. Chow Yun-Fat and Tony Leung are great and John Woo starts off insanely and ends with the greatest single-take action scene in cinematic history. |
|

Army of Darkness (1993, R)
AWESOME!! You are a total idiot if you don't love this flick. Bruce Campbell is the man! |
|
| 17 |
The Goonies (1985, PG)
This movie defined my childhood. I couldn't wait to find pirate treasure. Boy oh boy does real life suck it. |

The Shining (1980, R)
|
|
| 24 |
The Maltese Falcon (1941, Unrated)
The quintessential hardboiled detective film. Too much for me to say. Not a single throw-away moment. |
|
| 25 |
Billy Madison (1995, PG-13)
Sheer brilliance. What a novel idea. The supporting roles are filled with SNL castoffs and nothing is a throwaway. |
