68. On Golden PondStrange I like this as much as I do, in my opinion anyway, but I just love this film. So sweet, and a classic in every way.

67. Driving Miss DaisyFits in with the "I Can't Believe It's Not a Fantasy, Musical, or Burton film" category for me. And just like with On Golden Pond, it's a classic. I need to go rent this again soon.

66. A League of Their OwnI am not a sports fan, but that doesn't stop me from loving A League of Their Own. It goes beyond just a typical sports film. Each and every cast member is wonderful, even the what I'd call, less than supporting-actor/actresses. Great film.

 Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse
65. Kill Bill Vol.1The better Kill Bill, in my opinion. Better soundtrack, better fight sequences (the very first fight is almost as good as the ones in Kill Bill Vol.2). And I love the Gogo vs Bride fight. Chiaki Kuriyama (GoGo) is one of my favorite actresses, even though I've only seen here in Battle Royale and this. [And being over the top works wonderfully here.

64. Little Miss SunshineMy third favorite film from 2006. I can watch this over and over again, never gets old. The Ice Cream scene remains one of my all time favorites, as does the LMS Competition/Super Freak scene. Too bad it had to lose to The Departed.

 Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse
63. The Wizard of OzThis could very well be the very first film that I ever watched. Even if it's going to be 100 years old before we know it, it's still one of my all time favorites.

62. ExcaliburWithout a doubt this is the best movie based on Le Morte d'Arthur, that I have seen. Another favorite I need to rent again soon, it's been awhile.

 Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse
61. The Blair Witch ProjectI so have to side with the critics on this one. And it's not going to feel the same now for anyone who hasn't seen it by now given they've likely been told about it, good or bad, it would ruin the experience.

 Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse
60. The Land Before TimeChildhood favorite, second probably only to something that wont appear for a long time. It also remains as one of the biggest tear jerker films out there. Seriously, if you don't cry each time you watch this when Little Foot's mother dies, you are EVIL.

59. Fried Green TomatoesKathy Bates and Jessica Tandy (Driving Miss Daisy), Mary Stuart Masterson and Mary-Louise Parker are so good in this. It's a wonder film about two womens relationship during their life. Loveee it

 Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse
58. BabelToooo much hate. I enjoyed each sub-story being told here, though the Japan story outshined the rest. and Rinko Yakusho was amazing. My favorite performance from 2006. The score is very good too, and stands out for me.

57. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest 56. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End 55. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black PearlBig Pirates of the Caribbean fan. And I like them all just about the same, so I ranked them together. And just ranked Curse of the Black Pearl and At Worlds End higher since they are the first and last.

54. One Hundred and One DalmatiansOne of the Disney Classics, and it happens to be one of my least favorite of the bunch, but that's still more than enough for me to include it here. It's One Great Big ONEderful Motion Picture.

53. Pulp FictionMy favorite Taratino film and the only crime drama I like. The cast is great, great screenplay, and alot of FUN, for me anyway. Fun is something that lacks from other crime drama's, in my opinion. Love the dance scene.

52. Ed WoodIt's been awhile since I've last watched Ed Wood, and I generally don't like the genre or anything close to it, but I really liked what Burton did with Ed Wood. Depp is perfect as usual, and it's an unfortunate overlooked movie.

51. The Sound of MusicThe hills are alive with the sound of music. The film that sparked my musical interest in films, and perhaps even music as a whole.

 Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse
Im going to go ahead and do some more, so I'll do 10 more now because I wont be on much tomorrow, and perhaps none MON (if I am, it'll be really late). And I want to finish this on WED, perhaps TUES if possible. 50. The Lord of the Rings: The Two TowersIt's the Lord of the Rings, isn't that enough? It's my least favorite of the trilogy, but that certainly doesn't stop it from being wonderful. And the bonus screen time for Chris Lee is always good.

49. ChicagoWhat can I say? I love musicals, although Chicago would rank near the bottom of a list of favorite musicals. There are just many more I love even more. Chicago is a near masterpiece, and actually won Best Picture! Too bad the others have failed.

48. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of AzkabanPot head. And this was such an improvement over The Chamber of Secrets, though the change took time to get used to. Since I was always saying to myself, THE WHOMPING WILLOW IS RELOCATED!? HARRY GETS THE FIREBOLT AT THE VERY END!? SHORTER THAN THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS!? NEW DUMBLEDORE!? Little fangirl things, but I got over them.

 Re: KJ User's Top 100 Lists Vol.2 - Corpse
47. EnchantedI was expecting Enchanted to possibly be Top 10 material, and that is why it's this "low". Because I wasn't blown away. I loved it to death, but it was lacking something. Amy Adams was beyond perfect, and James Marsden was beyond cute. Alan Merken also delievered once again.

46. The Dark CrystalIt kills me, almost, that so few have heard of this, and even fewer have seen it. GO RENT IT! NOW!
