1
Saving Private Ryan (1998,  R)
Saving Private Ryan
I've seen it more times that I can count...

I still cry, yell and freak out every time I watch it. It's like the first time every time. Barry Pepper and Tom Hanks were flawless.
2
Scarface (1983,  R)
Scarface
My Favorite. Movie. Ever.
3
V for Vendetta (2006,  R)
V for Vendetta
Marvelous. MAR.VEL.OUS.
4
Shaun of the Dead (2004,  R)
Shaun of the Dead
Best horror comedy ever.
5
Battle Royale (Batoru Rowaiaru) (2001,  Unrated)
Battle Royale (Batoru Rowaiaru)
If you've never seen it, you need to. It's the best movie I've ever seen, ever. It's violent, allegoric and just wonderful. Better review to come...

The book is great too, as is the manga. The sequel was okay but incomparable.
6
A Beautiful Mind (2001,  PG-13)
A Beautiful Mind
The love Nash and his wife shared was absolutely awe inspiring.
7
The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers (2002,  PG-13)
The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers
My favorite of the trilogy. The Battle @ Helm's Deep makes me cry every time.
8
White Oleander (2002,  PG-13)
White Oleander
This is probably my 2nd favorite film. I love all the characters and the plot lines. It's almost as good as the book.
9
The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (2001,  PG-13)
10
Blow (2001,  R)
Blow
This is my favorite Johnny Depp film. I read the book a while back [I love true crime] and was really excited to see the film.

They make George Jung much more likeable than he actually is, but he did seem to be a good guy. Johnny became him, as he usually does in his films.
11
Gia (1997,  R)
Gia
The film in which I fell in love with Angelina Jolie. They did a great job casting Mila Kunis as a young Gia too because the similarities between Angelina and she were striking. Not that either of them looked anything like Gia Carangi. I understand that it wasn't very accurate regarding her real life, but it was still a great filml.
12
The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (2003,  PG-13)
The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King
One of my all time favorites.

The Patriot
This is probably my favorite Mel Gibson film.

Erin Brockovich (2000,  R)
Erin Brockovich
Love it! Julia was great in this. Soderbergh is a great director.
93
Brokeback Mountain (2005,  R)
Brokeback Mountain
It was great. I wish that we had been able to see what actually happened to Jake's character. But the ending, with Ennis and Jake's clothing: that killed me. And I probably just gave the whole movie away. *lol*
94
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988,  PG)
95
Space Jam (1996,  PG)
96
Blade II (Blade 2) (2002,  R)

Stephen King's The Stand (,  Unrated)

I absolutely love this film. The novel was something else but these films had me in front of the TV all day when I was younger.
103
Léon (The Professional) (1994,  R)
104
Fear (1996,  R)
Fear
Mark Wahlberg was creepily sexy in this film. I wanted him to take my virginity too. *lmao*
105
A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006,  R)
A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints
The acting was phenomenal in this and made me take Channing Tatum as more than just that cute face in the Mountain Dew commercial. It's a memoir of the life of Dito Montiel, and he directed it also, and he did a great job telling his own story.
106
Mona Lisa Smile (2003,  PG-13)
107
L.A. Confidential (1997,  R)
L.A. Confidential
I'm not a Kim Basinger fan but this was great. Beautifully done.
108
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994,  R)
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
I can't really explain what makes this film so great besides the acting. The acting was superb. It's a great story and you can't help but become involved with the characters.
109
Cinderella Man (2005,  PG-13)
Cinderella Man
This film, as depressing as it was was absolutely wonderful.
110
American Psycho (2000,  R)
111
Fight Club (1999,  R)
Fight Club
Great. Wonderful ending.

1. You do not talk about fight club. 2. You DO NOT talk about fight club. 3. If someone says stop, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. 4. Only two guys to a fight. 5. Only one fight at a time. 6. No shirts, no shoes. 7. The fights go on as long as they have to. 8. If this is your first night at fight club, you have to fight.
112
Remember Me My Love (,  R)
Remember Me My Love
Though the ending saddened me, it was a practically flawless film. Directed extremely well.

119
Serpico (1973,  R)
Serpico
I absolutely loved it. Al Pacino was brilliant. The 70's and 80's were really his time.

LOVE THIS FILM!
120
Judge Dredd (1995,  R)
Judge Dredd
Everyone just shut the hell up about my rating. I absolutely adore this movie and it's one of my favorites. I can watch it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...
121
Amores Perros (2001,  R)
Amores Perros
Gael García Bernal carries this film. And that says a lot because the acting is superb, as is the film.
122
Life Is Beautiful (La Vita è bella) (1998,  PG-13)
123
Desu nôto 2 (Death Note: The Last Name) (2008,  Unrated)
Desu nôto 2 (Death Note: The Last Name)
Awe inspiring.
124
Death Note (Desu nôto) (TV SHOW) (,  Unrated)
Death Note (Desu nôto) (TV SHOW)
Manga/Anime is better. I'm a big Tatsuya Fujiwara fan, and this stayed very true to the manga, but it was slow and tedious at times. It also wasn't able to explain the rules and how they work as well as the anime does.

Update: I understand they're going to make an American version possibly with Zac Efron as the lead. I guess that works, since he sort of resembles Light. I think he may be able to pull it off, since he manages to look downright creepy in some of his photos. I think whatshisface from the Funny Games remake would be a good a good L. And I'm hoping that they could do the live/animated meshing better than it was done in this version of the film.
125
Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi) (2001,  PG)
Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi)
This is one of my favorite animated films. I was rooting for Chihiro the entire time. I loved the ending. ^.^
126
Gekijyouban hagane no renkinjutsushi (Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie - Conqueror of Shamballa) (2005,  PG-13)
Gekijyouban hagane no renkinjutsushi (Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie - Conqueror of Shamballa)
I was upset that the Anime ended so abruptly, [although the manga is still as awesome as ever!] but this film tied up those loose ends from the series, which I needed. The thought of after 4 years the brothers still not being together as their selves was heart breaking.
127
The Children of Huang Shi (2008,  R)
128
Match Point (2005,  R)
129
The Incredible Hulk (2008,  PG-13)
The Incredible Hulk
Fucking great. It was no Iron Man, but it was great. The CGI was very good for the Hulk and the action was great. Edward Norton was marvelous [as usual!] and Liv Tyler was pretty good too. I felt that Tim Roth and William Hurt were...lacking. But tolerable.


I was very upset to see that the Captain America cameo was cut, but Tony Stark's cameo, and the appearance of 'Nick Fury' on some documents were welcome tease towards the upcoming Avengers film.


Here's hoping that Norton will sign on for the next IH films because he was an excellent Bruce Banner!!
130
The Dark Knight (2008,  PG-13)
The Dark Knight
"You...complete me."

Wow.
I'm just gonna jump on the bandwagon here and say that Heath should definitely be an Oscar contender for that role.

It was amazing. It was simply, fucking brilliant. It was so very, very close to perfection if not there. I'm just...I walked out of the theater about an hour ago and I...I need to process it fully.

I'm so in awe and blown away. The acting was fucking flawless. The IMAX shots were obviously IMAX and they took my breath away sometimes. The action and stunts: spectacular.

I'm rambling. It was great. Jack Nicholson, whom I love and adore - can kiss ass if he doesn't recognize the brilliance that was Heath's portrayal of the sadistic, scary, wonderfully twisted and humorous Joker.

Just wow...
131
Gilda (1946,  PG)
Gilda
Is there anyone more beautiful or seductive than Rita Hayworth in this film?

I'd bet she could win even over my beloved Marilyn.
132
Hot Fuzz (2007,  R)
Hot Fuzz
Oh my gosh.
I could go on for days about how much I love this film. But I won't. I'll just say that if you ever see another adult comedy in your lifetime - it NEEDS to be this one.

It's a classic and I can't wait for the next film from this crew.
