Favorite Movies

I figured that you, the reader (if anyone reads this in the first place), could stand to get to know me a little better. I thought a list of my favorite movies might be a good place to start. So without further ado, my favorite movies, in, for the most part, no particular order. (There're, like, fifteen of them, so... obviously I'm bad at narrowing these things down.)


  • The Dark Knight and Fight Club (Tied for favorite movie of all time. Fantastic movies, the both of them, on every single level.)
  • When Harry Met Sally (Best chick flick/rom-com out there, without a doubt. Guys can't possibly be ashamed of watching this, if only for Meg Ryan's infamous diner scene.)
  • It's A Wonderful Life (One of those movies that made me cry without me being ashamed of it, and can you blame me?)
  • Lion King (I think this is a given.)
  • Star Wars (All episodes together constitute one movie, really. I won't differentiate.)
  • Pulp Fiction (Genius.)
  • Forrest Gump (Speaks for itself.)
  • Hangover/ Hangover 2 (Possibly the funniest movies I have ever seen, challenged only by the next movie on this list.)
  • Airplane! (Possibly the funniest movie I have ever seen. I have yet to see the sequel, which I must do sometime soon.)
  • Gone With The Wind (A sprawling Civil War/Reconstruction epic with some of the greatest characters in film.)
  • Godfather/Godfather II ("The Godfather is the I-ching. The Godfather is the sum of all wisdom. The Godfather is the answer to any question." - Tom Hanks in You've Got Mail. You'd be hard-pressed to find a guy who disagreed. A real man's movie. I still haven't seen the third.)
  • Silence of the Lambs (One of the greatest thrillers ever, and one of the greatest villains ever. Hannibal Lecter is beat only by The Dark Knight's Joker.)
  • Shawshank Redemption (Whose list ISN'T this on?)
  • Good Will Hunting (Don't we all wish we were a little more like Matt Damon in this movie, and we had someone like Robin Williams's character to call us on our crap?)
  • The Sound of Music (Who doesn't love The Sound of Music?)
To be fair, there're a lot of classics I haven't seen. I have a list of about 40 movies that I haven't yet seen that I must, and the list is constantly growing. I'll probably update and revise this list as I watch more.
