My Favorite Movies

My favorite Python movie, and possibly the funniest film I've ever seen.

Another great effort by the Pythons. Between this and DOGMA, there's two movies on my favorites lists condemned by religious (over)zealots.

The most disgusting Python film, it also has some spectacular musical numbers.

Next to Young Frankenstein, my favorite Mel Brooks movie. It doesn't hurt that I already like westerns.

Captures perfectly the atmosphere of Universal's Frankenstein films. If you see only one Mel Brooks movie, it should be this one.

Brooks' wonderful parody of Hitchcock. "TAKE THE PAPER! TAKE IT!"

Another great Brooks film, with the Inquisition number being the highlight.

Kevin Smith's first movie and still his best. Jeff Anderson is great as Randal.

Not quite as great as the original, but close. I hope Kevin's not serious about not doing any more Jersey Saga films.

Not up to the other Jersey Saga films, but very entertaining nonetheless. Good to see Stan Lee making an appearance.

Smith's most serious film is also pretty funny when it sets out to be. Why can't Affleck put as much effort into most of his films as he does in Smith's films? (Though I do think DAREDEVIL was underrated).

A dead-on look at organized religion, plenty of adventure, lots of humor, Salma Hayek dancing around in her underwear...what more could you ask for? :)

It was only a matter of time before Smith's most popular characters got their own movie. Hilarious and at times self-deprecating.

Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece. Uma Thurman's performance is amazing, and Lucy Liu definitely surprised me.

A fitting end to a terrific story. David Carradine is excellent.

A Frank Miller comic brought to life. Also, Mickey Rourke IS Marv. 'Nuff said. :)

I didn't care for the redesign of the Green Goblin's costume, but this is still one of the best comic movies. J.K. Simmons is the perfect J. Jonah Jameson.

Even better than the first one. Interesting to speculate as to how Michael Chabon's influence might have affected that.

Not up to the level of the first two, but still pretty swell. The symbiote fx are wonderful.

One of the greatest of all westerns. The music, the acting...perfect.

I love the TV series, so this film is perfect for me. The movie within the movie, THIS ISLAND EARTH, isn't all that bad.

The first and best film based on the most famous of all superheroes. The John Williams score can get my blood pumping.

A loving (if somewhat exaggerated) tribute to one of the absolute masters of grade-z filmmaking. Martin Landau is terrific as Lugosi.

One of the few instances where the remake is better than the original. Al Pacino is one tough S.O.B.

Another excellent film by Sergio Corbucci, who also directed THE GREAT SILENCE. Franco Nero makes a great Spag Western hero.

The beginning of a classic trilogy. Not quite up to the two that followed it, but still quite good. Eastwood is the man.

The best film in Leone's Dollars Trilogy. Love those three-way showdowns.

The best-known Spaghetti Western. The three leads all turn in quality performances.

One of my favorite shows wrought large. The songs manage to be completely offensive and completely catchy both at the same time.

Rob Zombie's first film is a real treat for horror fans, with a cast including many familiar genre icons. Even better is...

A great piece of film, very disturbing and complex. Bill Moseley is at his finest in this film.

Road trip time for Mike Judge's most (in)famous creations. Just all-around enjoyable.

Marlon Brando is GREAT in this movie. Of course, Jack Nicholson ain't exactly a slouch. :)

The ultimate frat-boy film. John Belushi is the man.
