33.King Kong (2005)


"It was beauty that killed the beast."

I can't believe people did not like this movie. It was a great post LOTR movie Jackson did. The special effects were also incredible. Naomi Watts should have been nominated at least.
Favorite scene: Gotta love that battle with the T-Rex and the love scene in NY.

32.Cast Away

2000

"I have made fire!"
Yay! Another Tom Hanks movie. It's been a while. Risky to do a movie were you are pretty much in 98% by yourself. He pulled it off though.
Favorite scene: Talking to good ol' Wilson in the cave.

31.Pulp Fiction

1994

"That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten."
Great great fun. So much violence and great acting. Tarantino at his best.

Top 30. Serious business

30.Eternal Sunshine of a Spottless Mind

2004

"Sand is overrated. It's just tiny, little rocks."
Jim Carrey and Kate Winslets best roles. Carrey should have gotten more reconition for this wonderful film. I love Charlie Kaufman and Michel Gondry.
Favorite scene: Joel is going trough his past memories

29.Boogie Nights

1997

"I got a feeling that behind those jeans is something wonderful just waiting to get out."
Paul Thomas Anderson. Why didn't I discover you sooner. You are amazing at making films and this is one of them.

28.Memento

2000

"If we talk for too long, I'll forget how we started. Next time I see you, I'm not gonna remember this conversation. I don't even know if I've met you before."
One of the most original stories ever. Near flawless film making.
Favorite scene: The last scene

26.A Hard Day's Night

Great movie. Great music. Great cast. What's more to say?
Favorite scene: Mike attempts to fight.

24.Rushmore

Some of the best writing in any movie. Jason and Bill are perfect as two men that seem to have everything but both are missing one thing. Love.
Favorite scene: Herman knocks down a basketball while kids are playing.

23.Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

2004

Favorite scene: The battle

22.The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring


"I made a promise, Mr Frodo. A promise. "Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee." And I don't mean to. I don't mean to."
It started it all. The scenery in this one is probably the best out of the 3.
Favorite scene: Enjoying a pint with Merry, Pippin, Sam, Frodo and OH MY GOD HE PUT THE RING ON!!!!

21.Se7en

1997

"People don't want a hero, they want to eat cheeseburgers, play the lotto and watch television."
So chilling everytime I watch it. Brad Pitt is amazing in this. The suspense is crazy.

Love it. Great mixture of comedy and romance.
Favorite scene: Inconceivable!

17.Batman Begins

2005

My all time favorite comic book movie. It totally saved Batman. So dark. Bale is the best Batman and both Murphy and Neeson were great villians.
Favorite scene: Scarcrow shows up for the party. ON A HORSE!

16.The Godfather Part II

1974

"I know it was you Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!"
Better than the first. Sorry to all of you who think otherwise. Putting DeNiro in there was a perfect combination and he played it perfectly. Pacino's best role.
Favorite scene: Fredo fucks up.

Sweet!

"Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of Raymond K. Hessel's life. His breakfast will taste better than any meal you and I have ever tasted."
Fuck I love this movie. This movie is the reason why I love my name so much. Tyler Durden is such a BADASS! He gives us Tyler's hope. Best twist ending in any movie in my opinion.

"Life was sweet... For a minute."
I saw this movie a few weeks ago and loved it automatically. Did not expect to love it as much as I do. Sam Rockwell is one of THE MOST UNDERRATED ACTORS. He was fantastic in here. George Clooney did a hell of a job for a first time director.
Favorite scene: Chuck freaks out on his show.

Thank you. I've been trying to configure this list once this thread began and the first person went.
Yeah my top ten might disappoint you. I LOVE my 10-20 because all of those could be my top ten.
