Review |
Exorcist, The | 1973 | 99 | 1 | - Quite possibly the scariest movie of all-time because of the storyline dealing with demons & how realistic this subject is. |
Godfather: Part II, The | 1974 | 99 | 1 | |
Casablanca | 1942 | 98 | 3 | - A classic. Everyone should watch this movie at some point in their life. It's not funny, it's not action-packed, but it's deep & a classic. |
Dumb And Dumber | 1994 | 98 | 3 | |
Forrest Gump | 1994 | 98 | 3 | - A classic movie with an all-time classic actor about one of the all-time classic characters in any movie. |
Godfather, The | 1972 | 98 | 3 | |
Hangover, The | 2009 | 98 | 3 | |
Step Brothers | 2008 | 98 | 3 | |
300 | 2006 | 97 | 9 | - Phenominal movie! It's not just a guy's movie, but it's not for kids. I was instantly impressed with this movie & over the years still love this movie. |
Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy (2004) | 2004 | 97 | 9 | - One of the most classic comedies ever!! Very few movies are better with more laughs than this one. |
CaddyShack | 1980 | 97 | 9 | - CaddyShack was one of the best comedy/sports movies ever. CaddyShack 2 was like going through what the Jews went through while I watched Schindler's List. |
Cool Hand Luke | 1967 | 97 | 9 | - Possibly the crown jewel for one of the all-time great actors. Paul Newman was brilliant in this movie. There's no way that anyone should try to remake this. It would fall short by a long shot, even if you found the perfect person to play |
Departed, The | 2006 | 97 | 9 | - Scorsese nailed it with this Boston gangster movie about Billy Costigan who grew up in a crooked family & he becomes a cop, while Colin Sullivan grows up in a good family and becomes a cop, but works for the local mob boss Frank Costello. Costigan goes undercover to take down Costello, while Sullivan is in IA working secretively for Costello. It's a grossly intense game of cat & mouse on both sides. It is brilliantly written, superbly acted by a superstar cast & the man that made the film a classic is Martin Scorsese. One of my all-time favorites. |
Fight Club | 1999 | 97 | 9 | - If you haven't seen this, turn the rock over that you're living under & watch. A cult classic that HAS to be seen. Absolutely brilliant! |
Heat | 1995 | 97 | 9 | (full review) |
Usual Suspects | 1995 | 97 | 9 | |
Wedding Crashers | 2005 | 97 | 9 | |
Animal House | 1978 | 96 | 18 | - One of the movies that was a foundation to the crazy, raunchy comedies. |
Gladiator | 2000 | 96 | 18 | |
Anchorman: The Legend Continues (2013) | 2013 | 95 | 20 | |
Avatar | 2009 | 95 | 20 | - I'm so glad James Cameron didn't try making this film until film technology made it to the point to be able to do this film justice. Brilliant graphics, great storyline & wonderful film. |
Braveheart | 1995 | 95 | 20 | - One of the best acting/directing jobs ever. Mel Gibson put everything into this film and it shows. The story of William Wallace isn't one that you walk smiling about, but you respect and love. Superb film. |
Dark Knight Rises, The | 2012 | 95 | 20 | - I can't wait til the next one. After having Scarecrow, The Joker, Two Face & Bane...Riddler, The Penguin, Poison Ivy & more are still left and you have the emergence of Robin & Catwoman coming out in full force for the next one. This was great, but it's only going to get better...as long as Joel Schumacher has nothing to do with it. |
Dark Knight, The | 2008 | 95 | 20 | - The best acting job ever by Heath Ledger playing The Joker. You can never look at The Joker the same way ever again. This series of Batman movies keep getting better and will be untouchable by any other comic book movie series. |
Halloween (1978) | 1978 | 95 | 20 | |
Inception | 2010 | 95 | 20 | |
Interstellar | 2014 | 95 | 20 | |
Taxi Driver | 1976 | 95 | 20 | |
40 Year Old Virgin, The | 2005 | 94 | 29 | - One of the funniest movies I've ever seen & I don't get tired of it. |
Apocalypse Now | 1979 | 93 | 30 | - A deep, dark view of a dangerous mission during Vietnam to kill a Green Beret who has gone rogue. Written & directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Brilliant acting jobs by Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando & Robert Duvall...supported by Lawrence Fishburne, Harrison Ford, Dennis Hopper & Scott Glenn. You have to see this movie at some point in your life. |
Few Good Men, A | 1992 | 93 | 30 | - Tom Cruise did a terrific job as a cocky lawyer who plea bargains most of his cases, but finally decides to work a case of two Marines that claim they were obeying orders from their superiors (Jack Nicholson & Kiefer Sutherland). There are two movies were one character stole the show while only being in the movie for less than half an hour...Jack steals the show in this movie while being in it for approx 15 mins. |
Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (American) | 2011 | 93 | 30 | |
Goodfellas | 1990 | 93 | 30 | |
Chinatown | 1974 | 92 | 34 | - Classic Jack being Jack as Jake Gittes, a private eye that gets mixed up in an affluent families' problems...leading to major problems of his own. Great writing, great directing by the late, great John Huston. You want to see this classic. |
Color Purple, The | 1985 | 92 | 34 | |
Field of Dreams | 1989 | 92 | 34 | - Some consider this the greatest sports movie of all time. Ray Kinsella hears a voice to tell him to build a baseball field in the middle of a cornfield in Iowa in order to bring back the departed all-time great baseball players. |

Top Gun | 1986 | 92 | 34 | |
Aliens | 1986 | 91 | 42 | |
Apollo 13 | 1995 | 91 | 42 | - Historical movie that can't have a sequel. Great acting job by all the guys. Tom Hanks led the way. |
Bull Durham | 1988 | 91 | 42 | - Classic!! Excellent choice in choosing the cast, well-written by a former Minor Leaguer who experienced a lot of the action in the movie & superb work by the actors. Some consider the best sports movie ever. |
Con Air | 1997 | 91 | 42 | |
Dodgeball | 2004 | 91 | 42 | - The first really noticeable movie where Vince Vaughn has had the lead & is able to show off his genuinely sarcastic sense of humor. One of my favorite Ben Stiller movies. He is at his best when he acts like White Goodman. We need more of that. Very quoteable & you have to watch it more than once. |
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind | 2004 | 91 | 42 | - Brilliantly written by Charlie Kaufman & Michael Gondry (who also directed it) & a great job by Jim Carrey & Kate Winslet to lead this cast on a trip that seems to come from the genre of Lewis Carroll. When I heard the short Cliff Notes of the storyline, I was drawn in & couldn't wait to see it. It was all I expected it to be. Great job from beginning to end. |
Game, The | 1997 | 91 | 42 | - If you've never seen it, you'll never know how good it is. You have to watch it. Michael Douglas was terrific. |
Good Will Hunting | 1997 | 91 | 42 | |
Green Mile, The | 1999 | 91 | 42 | |
A Christmas Story | 1983 | 90 | 51 | |
Amadeus | 1984 | 90 | 51 | - It's a historic look at the greatest musical mind of all-time and the dark forces trying to sabotage the great Mozart. |
Boondock Saints, The | 1999 | 90 | 51 | - Cult classic. Loved the storyline and how well it was written. Brilliant job by all. |
Crash | 2004 | 90 | 51 | |
Dances with Wolves | 1990 | 90 | 51 | |
Deja Vu | 2006 | 90 | 51 | - Great storyline, very intense & you couldn't do better than Denzel in the lead role. A one of a kind movie. |
Elf | 2003 | 90 | 51 | - This movie is proof that Will Ferrell is a comedic genius. He doesn't have to drop four letter words to have his crowd rolling in the floor laughing. He has always been the guy that stole the camera while on SNL or any other movie he's been in because he's willing to say or do something outside the box, but in this he acts so goofy & crazy that you can't help but like this movie...in fact, I don't know anyone that doesn't like this movie. A holiday classic. |
Gran Torino | 2008 | 90 | 51 | (full review) |
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story | 2007 | 90 | 51 | |
Austin Powers (1997) | 1997 | 89 | 60 | |
Blind Side, The | 2009 | 89 | 60 | - Great job by the cast to bring the story of Michael Oher & the Tuohy family. Loved it. |
Dog Day Afternoon | 1975 | 89 | 60 | - If someone else played Sonny, this movie easily could've been a flop. Because this true story of Sonny Wortzik was played by the great Al Pacino he made this movie a classic. Pacino's ability to hide the secrets of the movie until the right moments, this movie boomed in 1975 & continues to be talked about almost 40 years later. |
Ghostbusters | 1984 | 89 | 60 | |
3:10 to Yuma (remake) | 2007 | 88 | 64 | |
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) | 1984 | 88 | 64 | |
Armageddon | 1998 | 88 | 64 | - It would just be stupid to make a sequel, but great idea and the mixture of cast was very good. Everyone did a great job in it. I have always liked this movie...& always will. |
Bridesmaids | 2011 | 88 | 64 | |
Ferris Beuller's Day Off | 1986 | 88 | 64 | - Out of all of the 1980's John Hughes movies, this was my favorite & might have been the best all-around. It's about high school senior Ferris Beuller who is has senioritis & decides to fake being sick to enjoy the day while getting his girlfriend out of school & hanging with his best friend who really is sick in the big city of Chicago. Non-stop fun. |
Fugitive, The | 1993 | 88 | 64 | |
A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge | 1985 | 87 | 70 | |
Army of Darkness | 1992 | 87 | 70 | - This is a cult classic that is underrated. I loved this movie the first time I saw it as a teenager & still love it. Bruce Campbell is awesome. |
Big Trouble in Little China | 1986 | 87 | 70 | - One of my favorite roles that Kurt Russell ever did. He's so goofy, cocky & enjoyable. No one could've done that role better. If someone else would've been Jack Burton, I wouldn't be giving a review. If you haven't seen, watch it. It's well worth your time. |
Casino | 1995 | 87 | 70 | - When you put Bobby & Joe together in a gangster movie, it's going to be gold. This isn't the purest gold you can find, but it's still cinematic gold. |
Hangover Part II, The | 2011 | 87 | 70 | (full review) |
American Gangster | 2007 | 86 | 75 | |
Basic Instinct | 1992 | 86 | 75 | |
Batman Begins | 2005 | 86 | 75 | - A great cornerstone to start a chapel of brilliance about one of the most recognizable figures in movie, TV or comics. |
Buried | 2010 | 86 | 75 | - Excellent acting job by Ryan Reynolds. He's the only actor visible in the movie & I was never bored. He reels you in and it's an emotional roller coaster. A must watch...especially if you love cinema and great acting. |
Clash of the Titans (2010) | 2010 | 86 | 75 | |
Clerks | 1994 | 86 | 75 | |
Coach Carter | 2005 | 86 | 75 | - Excellent sports movie. It's actually one of my favorites. Sam did a phenominal job as a coach that takes over an inner-city basketball team that nobody believes in. |
Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The | 2008 | 86 | 75 | |
Any Given Sunday | 1999 | 85 | 83 | - One of the great sports movies that I think shows the bright & dark side of professional football. |
Backdraft | 1991 | 85 | 83 | - Great movie, with a great cast. Everything was well done. It was the forerunner for another great movie Ladder 49. |
Days of Thunder | 1990 | 85 | 83 | - For the time the movie was made, it helped propel NASCAR into a spotlight and bring attention to a sport that wouldn't be as big now without a movie like this to help it. It didn't just help a sport get noticed, but it was a good movie with great talent. |
Deer Hunter, The | 1978 | 85 | 83 | - A great acting job by DeNiro, Chris Walken & Meryl Streep in one of the most depressing movies of all-time. |
Desperado | 1995 | 85 | 83 | - Robert Rodriguez wrote and directed this action-packed flick with Antonio Banderas shooting everything in sight while hardly ever reloading & Salma Hayek looking scorching hot. Cameos by Cheech Marin, Steve Buscemi, Quentin Tarantino & Danny Trejo make this movie more fun & exciting. It's a classic guy movie. |
Fargo | 1996 | 85 | 83 | - From the brilliant minds of Joel & Ethan Coen, this keys in on a good guy, who is an idiot husband that can't stand his wife who comes from a wealthy family. He's miserable & wants to get rid of her. He hires two idiot henchmen & who were bigger idiots than he was & everything unravels as he tries to get rid of his wife while police officer Marge Gunderson tries to get to the bottom of it. Great movie. |

Balls of Fury | 2007 | 84 | 89 | |
48 Hours | 1982 | 83 | 92 | |
As Good as It Gets | 1997 | 83 | 92 | - A good performance by all, but a great performance by one of the best actors of all-time being an unlikable, wealthy, rude writer with OCD. |
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid | 1969 | 83 | 92 | - Newman & Redford...need I say more. Newman plays the nice, wants to be a bad guy, funny, smart, mouthy Butch Cassidy, while Redford plays cold, short-fused gunman Sundance. Excellent movie. |
Cruel Intentions | 1999 | 83 | 92 | |
Alien | 1979 | 82 | 96 | |
Big Chill, The | 1983 | 82 | 96 | - Top 5 80's drama. Great actors, they all messed well, storyline was very well thought out...overall a great movie. |
American Beauty | 1999 | 81 | 98 | |
Awakenings | 1990 | 81 | 98 | - DeNiro & Robin Williams made a good duo in this movie about patients that have been catatonic for years & are given a new persciption drug that is supposed to bring them out of it. One of DeNiro's most underrated roles. |
Blade II | 2002 | 81 | 98 | |
Cowboys & Aliens | 2011 | 81 | 98 | - Daniel Craig & Harrison Ford combine for good duo in this film. It's not realistic, but I like the concept. Solid movie...definitely for guys. |
Crank | 2006 | 81 | 98 | - I liked the idea with this movie, the action was great, it had some nice sexy parts to it....a typical guy movie. I haven't watched the sequeal because I can't see how you make a sequel to that. I don't have any desire. Think it's stupid to stretch the storyline after that. |

21 Jump Street | 2012 | 79 | 111 | - I wasn't expecting much from this movie...I got a lot more than I expected. I actually was pretty impressed with this. I thought Channing Tatum was funnier than I thought he could be. Watch the movie and be ready for cameos. |
28 Days Later | 2002 | 79 | 111 | |
American Graffiti | 1973 | 79 | 111 | |
Billy Madison | 1995 | 79 | 111 | - Sandler's first big movie. This is what started it all. He had a funny storyline to go by, with some classic moments & great dialogue. |
From Dusk Till Dawn | 1996 | 79 | 111 | |
50 First Dates | 2004 | 78 | 116 | |
Blades of Glory | 2007 | 78 | 116 | - Not the best duo of Ferrell & Heder, but they made it work and the dialogue was funny. Heder had some funny moments, but Ferrell carried the movie with some solid back-up from Nick Swardson, Amy Poehler & Will Arnett |
Contraband | 2012 | 78 | 116 | |
Back to the Future | 1985 | 77 | 119 | |
History of Violence, A | 2005 | 77 | 119 | |
Capote | 2005 | 76 | 121 | - Brilliant acting job by Phillip Seymour Hoffman playing Truman Capote. It's not an easy part to play, Hoffman WAS Capote. His ability to be Capote made the film worth watching. |
Crazy, Stupid, Love | 2011 | 76 | 121 | |
Babe | 1995 | 75 | 123 | |
Casa De Mi Padre | 2012 | 75 | 123 | - Will Ferrell makes a movie that is obvious that he was making fun of low-budget films. He speaks Spanish the whole time. It's funny because he tried to be cheap & chessy. If you know this, you'll think this movie is funny. |
Cop Out | 2010 | 75 | 123 | |
Snowden | 2016 | 75 | 123 | |
Aviator | 2004 | 74 | 127 | - DiCaprio did a brilliant job as Howard Hughes. Cate Blanchett & Kate Beckinsale did a great job as Hepburn & Gardner. It was a good historic film, but I just didn't care for it because as intelligent as Hughes was, I just don't care enough about it all to be draw in again. |

Friends with Kids | 2012 | 50 | 137 | |
A Clockwork Orange | 1971 | 38 | 138 | |
Batman And Robin | 1997 | 2 | 139 | - Give it to Joel Schumacher for screwing up something with so many stars. Looking at the cast, you would think this would've been the best film of the series. Schumacher made it too 1960's goofy Batman. Clooney, Arnold & Uma should've sued Schumacher for slandering their acting ability in such a crappy movie as that. Stick to producing Joel, because this was freaking horrible!! |
CaddyShack II | 1988 | 1 | 140 | |
