10 Favorite Movies • Page 2

Die Hard is sooo great....but I'm thinking I might switch it out for The Rundown on my list...

 

2001: A Space Odyssey
Mulholland Drive
Persona
Lost in Translation
The Mirror
The Element of Crime
Suspiria
True Romance
Blue Velvet
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

 

If you meant the first one, I love it! Watched it last night on Starz or something and my wife had never seen it (didn't like it). I was pretty young when I saw it for the first time, it blew my little mind.

 

yes, it's brilliant

 

The sound choices (effects and lack of score) are so unique and work so well on the creep factor. Also I realized last night how good of an actor the dad is during the scene after he brings the girl back to the house and he's searching in his head for a reason to beat on Leatherface.

 

In no particular order:

Wet Hot American Summer
Seven
Step Brothers
the Before Sunrise trilogy
Seven Psychopaths
Dumb and Dumber
Jurassic Park
Love Actually
This Is Spinal Tap
Rear Window

My cut my list down from like 25 to 10, which was so hard...

 

I have such a tough time picking my favorite movie(s), but The Jerk is what I usually say when someone asks.

 

I forgot The Jerk. That might not be top ten for me, but it's close.

 

1. The Master
2. Eyes Wide Shut
3. There Will Be Blood
4. Barry Lyndon
5. Tree of Life
6. Blue Velvet
7. Stalker
8. Apocalypse Now
9. Contempt
10. 2001: A Space Odyssey

 

The Master is a bold choice. It is something that has become even better over the years. The way it portrays violence (animalistic, uncoordinated, quick and full of rage) is something that sticks in the head. Too many people became hung up on the "it's the Scientology movie" angle and have not given it a proper analysis.

 

1. Boyhood
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Do the Right Thing
4. The 40-Year-Old Virgin
5. Up in the Air
6. The Social Network
7. Back to the Future
8. The Wolf of Wall Street
9. Say Anything...
10. Clueless

 

There Will Be Blood
Pulp Fiction
A Clockwork Orange
Seven Samurai
Army of Shadows
Alien
12 Angry Men
City Lights
Blade Runner
Twelve Monkeys

 

Pulp Fiction
Sweeney Todd
Gettysburg
Gods and Generals
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The Dark Knight
The Godfather
Perks of Being a Wallflower
Shrek 2
Scott Pilgrim v the World

No order
