61.Donnie Darko

2001

"Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"

The only bad part of this was that I knew the ending before watching it. Such a great film and it really surpised me how much I love it.
Favorite scene: Movie theater with the Rabbit

60.Fargo

1996

"There's more to life than a little money, ya know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are. And it's a beautiful day. Well. I just don't understand it."

59.The Silence of the Lambs

1991

" A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti."

The best horror movies I have ever seen. There is only one character I think is more scary than Hannibal Lector. You'll see soon.
Favorite scene: Oh Buffalo Bill

Bar a few films - thats a great select especially Donnie Darko, Prestige, Casino Royale, KB Vol II, Cloverfield, Fargo, LA Confidential, Jurassic Park, Fugitive, Mallrats, Collateral, Frequency and T2. All would make my Top 100.

I agree with your choice of Cloverfield - its an instant classic.

And i love how you found that "Dumb Happens" poster. I remember seeing that in theatres in 94 during the Forrest Gump phase. Brilliant send up of Gump and smart marketing. Thanks for digging it up.

Wet Hot Summer - never heard of it!

Frequency is damn good. I had preview tix from a radio comp and knew little about it. What a surprise.

Thanks!

2007

"Are you sure no one else is in the house?"

49.No Country for Old Men

2007

"I was sheriff of this county when I was twenty-five years old. Hard to believe. My grandfather was a lawman; father too. Me and him was sheriff's at the same time; him up in Plano and me out here. I think he's pretty proud of that. I know I was."
