1. The LOTR trilogy. They are all one to me. I can't see any being good without the rest, but together they are phenominal.
2. Platoon. Everything about his movie depicts some of the things dealt with by our brave soldiers over in "the Nam".
3. Final Fantasy "Advent Children". Best CG movie ever. Shows the future of the animated movie industry.
4. Kingdom of Heaven. Fantastic movie in so many ways.
5. Akira. This is still the standard for all Anime movies being made to this day. Movies of all types have used this as reference material.
6. Pirates of the Carribean. My choice for my most re-watched movie of the last 4 years. I love all aspects of this show. Makes for a great love story and action all together.
7. The Star Wars series. Again I love some individual ones, but together they make everything better.
8.Dogma. Yeah I know eveyone thinks I'd put one of the Smith movies higher. This is the best of all so far. Great humor, and I love the storyline.
9. Finding Nemo. Best American animated movie to date. One of the few movies I'll re-watch with my daughter whenever she wants to see it.
10. Saving Private Ryan. The best WWII movie ever. Tom hanks is great, and the story is stuff of true legend. Told in a way that carried me with them. Became I believe the pre-cursor to the best TV series based on that war..."Band of Brothers"
1) Lord of the Rings Trilogy, all 3 of them cause i can't separate em, they are wonderful is all can say
2)Original Star Wars Trilogy, was obsessed with these as a kid growing up in the 80's nuff said
3) Titanic, yes i know but i LOVE this movie and still do to this day
4) Say Anything, hands down the best of the 80's teen movies. Llyod holds the radio so Diane can hear from her bedroom, it don't get better than that IMO
5)The Usual Suspects, can never get enough of this movie, it reveals more each time you watch it.
6) Resevoir Dogs, as much as i love Pulp Fiction this movie, which came before it ranks as my favorite of his, great cast on a low budget made for a fantastic crime drama. And i still can't hear "stuck in the middle with you' without cringing slightly to this day
7)Raising Arizona, one of the flat out funniest movies i've ever seen, i can't describe inanity of it, you just have to see it.
8)Clerks, the one that started it all.. Jay and Silent Bob do, well, nothing LOL it's a must for anyone who works in customer service, employees really do have this attitude
9)The Princess Bride, i never get tired of watching this movie for some reason. 'my name is Inigo Montoya, you kill my father, prepare to die..'
10) Stand By Me, unbelievably written by Stephen King, a beautiful movie about friendship and growing up.. can never watch it enough IMO
well there's tons more but those are the ultimates on my list

More from me on Lost and other things at my Livejournal
1. All the Harry Potter Movies - I love the books and they have done a really good job so far of putting them on the big screen.
2. Princess Bride - the perfect fairy tale...funny, sweet, and happy in the end (oh yeah, and the bad boy gets the girl) LOL
3. Empire Records - a silly little movie I can't get enough of
4. Goonies - I always wanted to go on an adventure like these guys. Loved it as a kid and one of my must haves on DVD.
5. Ocean's Eleven (original version) - Nobody can do it like the Rat Pack!
6. The Breakfast Club - I love this movie! Everybody knows someone like each of the characters. My favorite part is at the end when you find out what they wrote and the line about you see us in the most convenient terms...
7. LOTR Triology - I've never read the books, but it's amazing how they brought it to life.
8. All of the Original Star Wars Movies - Watched them many, many times as a child, especially Return of the Jedi.
9. Lion King - I can't wait until my daughter picks up on this one. I'll be more than glad to watch it with her over and over again.
10. Clerks - I love almost all of the Kevin Smith movies, but I think this is my fav. Maybe it's Dante's snarkiness or the whole black and white thing, but this one wins out slightly over Dogma.
I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old, the stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold." "If we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored."
