5. The Shawshank Redemption


I JUST saw this recently in my English class. [I'm a Senior in High School] I really liked it, we discussed the theme in class for a long amount of time and it really had everyone hooked.

Well, My favorite Film of ALL TIME, It's not everyone's favorite, but MINE has to be...

Cruel Intentions

Now, Don't hate! It released when I was in the 8th grade and I've loved it ever since. It gets better every time I watch it.

In terms of movies that I enjoy watching the most...

1) The Shawshank Redemption
2) Wet Hot American Summer
3) The Royal Tenenbaums
4) The Big Lebowski
5) Adaptation
6) The Green Mile
7) South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut
8) Rocky IV
9) Dude, Where's My Car?
10) <god help me...> Kung Pow: Enter the Fist

I'd prefer, of course, to have a separate list for drama and a list for comedy, but since that's not the case right now, they're just combined... and since it's in terms of movies that I enjoy watching the most, it's lopsided towards comedy.

Still, every movie on that list should be deemed most satisfactory for a "top ten" in its own genre at least.

I just saw the Stanley Kubrick film "Spartacus" starring Kirk Douglas, about a week ago. Although it isn't in my top ten films list, I think it would've been if I was living back when it was made. Still, a great film.

3-A Clockwork Orange
4-Reservoir Dogs
5-Fight Club
6-Memento
7-Snatch
8-Raging Bull
9-Pitch Black

Hello Tommy! It's me, Chandler! Everyone, Imperial guy's real name is Tommy. I watch so many movies I find it hard to have a top ten. I definately have a top five though:
5) Miller's Crossing
4) Pulp Fiction
3) Rushmore
2) Saving Private Ryan
1) Fight Club

Oh sh*t, now I got alot more flooding in that makes me realize I can't even have a top five. All I know is that Fight Club is my favorite of all time, Rushmore will always be in my top five, and Saving Private Ryan is my favorite war movie of all time. Here are five others that never cease to amaze me:
-Aliens
-Fargo
-The Big Lebowski
-Snatch
-Adaptation

F***********CK!!! Damn you people for making me try to think of my top ten, it's hurting my brain! Every time I think I have it, I got another movie pop in and make me feel sorry for it. Well, I know I've already listed ten I love, but here's some more that I'd feel bad if I didn't mention:
-Ed Wood (Tim Burton's best)
-Requiem For a Dream
-Pi
-Platoon (my fav. Vietnam film)
-Boondock Saints
-Spinal Tap
-Best in Show
-The Matrix
-LOTR:FOTR
-Ferris Bueller's Day Off
-Dumb and Dumber (you can't deny its genius)
-Traffic
-Braveheart
-Exorcist
-Full Metal Jacket
-Saving Silverman (I know I'll get burned for this one, but I can't help myself, Jack Black is hilarious in this movie)
-MAGNOLIA!!! - (this should probably be in my top ten)
-American Beauty
-Usual Suspects
-The Game
-Se7en (definately in top ten, possibly top 5)
-Good Will Hunting (God, another top ten probably)

Allright guys, my list could go on forever. I watch too many movies... NOT! Oh well, atleast I know my favorite.

CITIZEN KANE...enough said.

Besides filming, the only other thing I ever did good was filming.

I can't believe it. I forgot LA CONFIDENTIAL!!!!! I should punish myself for that. Okay, LA Confidential is definately on my top five list. It kicks off Saving Private Ryan I guess. Damn these lists...

Jack Black is hillarious. "Orange County" is another good movie he's in. (If you havn't seen it, it's better than Saving Silverman)

How can you say Orange County sucked when you have Saving Silverman has one of your favorite movies? Orange County was much better basically because it wasn't just appealing towards teenagers. I went to see Orange County with my Unlce...he enjoyed it. We had both seen Saving Silverman and aggreed Orange County had a more mature approach rather than Silverman. I'm not saying Silverman sucked...I enjoyed it as a comedy targeted towards teens...I just felt the humor of Orange County was better...along with the plot.
