Garden State ~ Something about this movie just spoke to me. I could watch it over and over again and never get tired of it

Dirty Dancing ~ The first movie I ever loved enough to become obsessed with

Office Space ~ It might be the funniest movie I have ever seen. It helps that I work in an office so I can totally relate

Mr. Holland's Opus ~ I love movies about teachers that inspire us and this is one of the best

Back to the Future ~ This movie holds a lot of special memories and meaning for me, plus it is an 80s classic!

The Notebook ~ How can you not love this movie! Sure it was sappy and super romantic but I think it is the story about the woman with Alzheimer's that really gets me. Two of my grandparents suffered from the disease so any story about it always makes me sad.

The Mighty Celestial
5. Goodfellas - You just can't beat this gangster movie for charismatic energy. Scorcese pays close attention to the minute details that the mafia engage in for the sake of maintaining the lifestyle that they have become accustomed to. And then director shows how that type of self-contained lifestyle can only eventually crumble as the outside world continually changes & evolves.


4. Aliens - This movie has everything that I look forward to in a sci-fi adventure. Suspenseful action, solid story, distinct characters (with great chemistry) , great visuals, kick-ass aliens, a turning plot-twist ( we all thought for sure, that Bishop couldn't be trusted), & of course, a catch-phrase that made the entire theatre roar (" Get away from her, you bitch!").

Mannnn.... I wish I had acid for blood.

3. Close Encounters Of The 3rd. Kind - For me, the most realistic handling of a story of aliens ( inspiring films like Contact & Signs which tried admirably to emulate), that it made it almost believable for me that extra-terrestrials do exist. Also, it was done with such a sense of awe-inspiring hope & elegant beauty, that it almost made me wish that they did indeed exist( & maybe aliens do, but that's an entirely different website, altogether).

Mannnn.... I wish a UFO would come down & fly me away into the limitless potential of space.
(Sans anal-probes, of course.)

2. Superman - Yep. The fact that this #2 of my favorite movies ever is evidence that I am a huge comicbook nerd. And since admitting that usually doesn't garner much respect, I only expect the best when a project interprets my favorite medium up on the big screen. We comicbook fans don't need any more ammunition to makes us seem any more goofy. We can do that all by ourselves. ALL by ourselves.
And no matter what anyone says, this is the original gangsta of superheroes. So it is only fitting that the last son of Krypton's big-budget movie debut should turn out to be the one that all other comic-book based superhero movies must be measured by. And while I know that this movie does have it's dated flaws, it was, just like the character whom it portrayed, the one that started on how epic the idea of a superhero could truly be.

1. The Godfather - I could go on & on with why I agree with so many people of why this is such a great movie, but instead, I'll do a top ten within a top ten.
Top 10 reasons why I like the Godfather:

10. The late great John Cazale.
9. Marlon Brando is back with a performance uniquely his own.
8. James Caan. IMO, his best performance ever & the best character in the movie.
7. All the "oranges=death/violent act" scenes.
6. Apollonia!!!
5. Vito Corleone's "...And that I do not forgive" speech during the meeting of the criminal masterminds.
4. Lines like "Sleeping with the fishes" or " Time to take out the mattresses", phrases that have since become part of popular culture.
3. Sonny's death scene.
2. The theme song.
1. Francis Ford Coppola's masterful use of foreshadowing.
Example:When Luca Brasi ( the guy who ends up sleeping with the fishes) goes to make a deal with the rival crime-family, he walks thru a glass door that leads to the bar where he will meet his end. As the door closes, the scene is shot looking at Luca from behind, setting up the shot to so that you will notice fish designs that have been engraved into the glass & give the impression that they are surrounding Luca's body.
Awesome. Simply awesome.
Tarja Turunen
Terminator 2
Panic Room
The Accused

Those are my top three. I like many other films, but none so much as these three.
