So I have this discussion with a few people on the regular and after seeing Quentin Tarantino make a list of favorite movies I figured I would give it a go myself. I sit in my studio all day watching dvd's while I work so I watch ALOT of movies, if I do not watch the movie on the regular it doesn't appear. So before I forget, as with Quentin I have a definate number 1 and 2 but otherwise its all up in the air. I bet I have forgot some
1. Donnie Darko
This movie is my shit, end of the story (specifically the Directors Cut). I actually know the entire movie off by heart and the soundtrack was ridiculous. This is also a strong point of many movies in my top 25, Silence of the Lambs and all Tarantino movies for example have solid soundtracks. A movie with a shit soundtrack is like chips with no salt, you can still eat them but you notice with every bite how much you would really like some salt!
2. Shawshank Redemption
This is the perfect movie, perfect, even more perfect then Jessica Alba, pre baby.
3. Sin City
My favourite ever comic book series brought to film in a way I never believed possible.
4. Fight Club
Brad Pitt, I do not like you but you sure as hell make some awesome films. Book is amazing as well, if you read it then read Survivor also by Chuck Palahniuk, its almost better!
5. Se7en
6. Requiem for a Dream
Do not watch this movie if your already depressed!
7. Silence of the Lambs
Awesome book, awesome film. Hopkins was only on film for 16mins and won the Oscar! Shortest screen time ever to win.
8. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
9. The Big Lebowski
The dude!!!!
10. Pulp Fiction
This film has close to my fav two monologues ever.
11. Kill Bill I
12. Matrix I
13. Unbreakable
I love comic books and I love this movie!!!
14. The Goonies
The best all time childrens / adventure movie. This was every kids dream adventure when I was little and I watch this movie at least once a week. I know favorite is a big call, Dark Crystal, the Labyrinth and The Never Ending story were all up there but they lose out to this classic.
15. Big Trouble in Little China
16. The Usual Suspects
17. Snatch
18. Pans Labyrinth
19. Good Will Hunting
20. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Although I will admit the motives of Mr. Wonka really need to be questioned this is an absolute classic
21. A Clockwork Orange
The book was better but they did an awesome job. Stanley Kubrick had to be in my 25 somewhere or it would have been sinful.
22. Blade Runner
23. The Wrestler
24. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
25. Mystic River
So thats my 25, some big names missing, Godfather for example, but I haven't watched it for like 5 years so I can't include it.
So the reason I so eloquently placed a question mark at the end of movies in the title of those blog message is because I want to see what yours are or if you disagree with mine. Now I know its unfashionable to post on a persons blog but what the hell, might as well give it a go? Do you really think so many Superheroes would have worn their underwear on the outside of their supersuit if Superman didn't do it first?
Favorite Movies?
