Gladiator is 100% entertaining. The story was great and the music was *perfect*. My favorite movie. Hans Zimmer is also the musical genious behind the The Lion King and The Prince of Egypt.

I also loved Road to Perdition...I can't think of a more satisfying film.

Aliens: Director's Cut - Kick-ass! (if you don't mind the Cameron-ism)

Terminator 2 (#1 action movie)

Fight Club is just freaking awesome (though offensive to some).

I can understand why many people liked Forrest Gump, but that movie was just too sappy for my tastes. Still, MUCH better than Titanic in my opinion.

I don't want to see anyone else say "Memento"...that movie is stupid and based on a lame gimmick.

A top five is easier. No order.


October Sky
Shawshank Redemption (sp?)
How High
For love of the game
Many westerns (clint est) and Open range (minus the bullet physics)

That's an interesting selection.

Shawshank Redemption -- How High
extreme ends of the 'art' spectrum

How high is d@mn funny and you know it. Come on when they dug up John Adadms, and 'ineedmoney' had him smoke the finger. Thats some good sh!t.
Shawshank redemption has a story too it a real meat and potatoes story, one of the better movies in the last 15 years.

Rough question, I'll say American Beauty today, but could probably come up with 6 more for each day of the rest of the week.

Chariots of Fire

Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samuri

...hands down the best film of all time.

Toshiro Mifune gives a masterful performance!!
