At the Movies

I challenged some guy at work to list his Top 25 movies of all time, so I did the same thing. Here is my list (in order)

1. Silence of the Lambs
2. Sixteen Candles
3. Shawshank Redemption
4. Goodfellas
5. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
6. Kill Bill vol. 1
7. Wonder Boys
8. Fargo
9. Godfather
10. Terms of Endearment
11. What About Bob?
12. Seven
13. Sense & Sensibility
14. Being John Malkovich
15. Shakespeare in Love
16. Moulin Rouge
17. The Usual Suspects
18. Pulp Fiction
19. American Psycho
20. The Sixth Sense
21. Dead Calm
22. Princess Bride
23. Adaptation
24. The Hours
25. Bull Durham
26. The Upside of Anger
27. Sliding Doors

I meant to do a list of 25, but I really couldn’t get rid of ‘The Upside of Anger’ or ‘Sliding Doors’, but maybe they’re honorable mentions. Someone said this list was kind of “high-brow”…get this…because I have three Gwyneth Paltrow movies listed. Once I was finished choking, I pointed out that ‘What About Bob?’ was on my list. 'Nuff said!

Do you have any other movies to add to my list?

Next we’ll tackle TV shows.

Center Stage
Pump up the Volume
Crash
There Will Be Blood
Clueless

Heathers

So I guess you are a movie elitist? I never would have guess!

My pick for best television show? The Cosby Show. HANDS DOWN.

What about "Motel Hell" or "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"? You wouldn't be the person you are today without the influence of our horror addicted mother.

The Color Purple, I cry everytime I watch it. Life is Beautiful, same reason. For some reason I have to watch French Kiss with Meg Ryan everytime it is on. Oh and also The Wedding Singer
