so here's the deal...i've been sick the past few days and when you're home sick there isn't much to do but sleep and watch movies. so in my haze i figured i would share my top 20 favorite movies. why 20 you ask? well i'm sick and bored....deal with it...you showed up here in my space (pun..oh yes!) and you can read what i write...ha!
20. The Empire Strikes Back - the sequel far surpasses the original...this movie is not only the best of all 6 Star Wars movies but has the original movie twist of Darth Vader being Luke's father...chilling.
19. Snakes on a Plane - a movie that is so horrible it's awesome! i mean you have samuel l. jackson and snakes on a plane...what isn't to be loved about this movie?
18. spiderman 2 - man...what an incredible movie...you can't not like this movie...tight story..great action..throw in the drama of peter parker and mary jane's relationship and you have a topnotch flick.
17. Boondock Saints - such a great movie....'nuff said
16. Fight Club - 1st rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club
15. Miracle on 34th Street (the original) - still the best Christmas movie ever...and one that is a MUST WATCH every year for me.
14. Garden State - a movie with a great soundtrack and a post-modernistic view of discovering love and where your life is going and how sometimes taking chances is the best thing any of us can do.
13. The Jacket - a sci-fi love story that ends with a bang. having time travel part of it makes it that much better.
12. Apollo 13 - one of the first movies i remember as a 7 year old kid that was a drama and should have bored me to death and didnt.
11. Old School - comedic genius....pure genius...will ferrell in the scene with the petting zoo and tranquilizor darts cracks me up every time.
10. Chasing Amy - i love kevin smith and with another of his movies appearing higher up i'll leave the praise until then.
9. Clerks 2 - the raunchiest, funniest, but most heartwarming comedy ever made. kevin smith hit a home run with this movie...i mean please..it has a donkey show in it that goes awry..what's not to love?
8. Walk the Line - i love johnny cash and the portrayel in this movie is dead on. kudos to anyone with involvement in this motion picture.
7. Citizen Kane - and oldie but a goodie....peep it out if you're brave enough to watch a movie from the 40s.
6. Good Will Hunting - matty damon is awesome in this movie and robin williams turns in the best performance of his life. great writing and fully deserving of the oscar it won.
5. Batman: The Dark Knight - the best Batman movie....and the 2nd best comic book movie ever. heath ledger as the joker is a performance that no one who has seen it will ever forget because some people just like to watch the world burn.
4. Sin City - the best comic book movie ever. the story...acting.....and the cinematography make this not only a great comic movie but an achievement in film.
3. Bon Voyage Charlie Brown - this is my list and i love snoopy and i've watched this movie 1,000+ times and it entertains me everytime.
2. Seven - this movie is kick butt. full of suspense at every turn and an ending that will blow your mind.
1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - this movie proves one thing to me...besides the great performance, story, look, and feel....true love will survive if it's really meant to be...even if you erase your memory...
honorable mentions: dumb and dumber, the last kiss, saving private ryan, from dusk til dawn, independence day, the usual suspects, and pulp fiction
