1. #22 Se7en (1995)-makes me think and is probably the most suspenseful so far
2. #63 The Green Mile (1999)-sad
3. #102 Witness for the Prosecution (1957)-story carries it; best trial movie so far and unfortunately from England
4. #65 A Clockwork Orange (1971)-I generally dislike dystopias that are made awhile ago, and when I was done watching this, I didn't really like it; but something about this movie makes me think
5. #34 Memento (2000)-a movie I would be happy to watch again
6. #55 American Beauty (1999)-this is Spacey at his best
7. #70 To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)-excellent movie
8. #23 Silence of the Lambs (1991)-a prime example of how to write a solid story
9. #114 Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)-so far, it is my favorite from the legendary year of 1939; not by much but it holds on
10. #148 The Wizard of Oz (1939)-impressive, colorful, and fun
11. #179 12 Monkeys (1995)-I think this movie suffers because I haven’t seen it twice
12. #201 Anatomy of a Murder (1959)-murder movies can get confusingly similar but this is one of the best
13. #81 Full Metal Jacket (1987)-I feel like I can understand the sacrifice of Vietnam a little better
14. #40 Alien (1979)-they should’ve stopped here
15. #78 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)-very original; thought provoking
16. #131 The Big Lebowski (1998)-not like the others
17. #238 Harvey (1950)-original and is in a category all by itself
18. #6 12 Angry Men (1957)-it’s good but #6? I don’t think so
19. #138 It Happened One Night (1934)-a fun story but still a typical love story
20. #48 The Pianist (2002)-a great story that shouldn’t have taken this long to tell
21. #47 The Shining (1980)-a psychological thriller
22. #194 The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)-sorry, I am partial to anything Lord of the Rings
23. #96 The Sting (1973)-this is how Paul Newman should be hustling
24. #165 Dial M for Murder (1954)-not my most or least favorite Hitchcock but it is still good
25. #158 The Grapes of Wrath (1940)-slow but I feel the best display of the Great Depression
26. #202 Manchurian Candidate (1962)-great story but cheesy at times
27. #117 On the Waterfront (1954)-good story but I do feel something is missing
28. #218 Monsters, Inc. (2001)-good, funny story
29. #164 Life of Brian (1979)-pale in comparison to Holy Grail but still good
30. #160 Notorious (1946)-good but the cheesy love stories have got to stop
31. #115 Up (2009)-more emotional than Monsters, Inc. but overall, I think Monster, Inc., was better
32. #26 The Usual Suspects (1995)-good but too easy to figure out
33. #123 Blade Runner (1982)-I think I am a decade or two too late to appreciate this
34. #82 LA Confidential (1997)-I feel like this doesn’t have “staying” power; I need to watch it again
35. #146 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)-beyond the witty banter, the story is shallow
36. #57 Double Indemnity (1944)-suspenseful and fun
37. #191 A Beautiful Mind (2001)-it’s good but can’t necessarily hang with the best
38. #13 One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975)-It’s good but I don’t know what all the fuss is about
39. #181 Mary and Max (2009)-fun story
40. #226 A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)-shocking but good story
41. #200 Rocky (1976)-just not impressed but everyone loves an underdog
42. #42 North by Northwest (1959)-this is supposed to be Hitchcock’s magnum opus but it feels like a predecessor to the more recent worthless Hollywood blockbuster
43. #44 Django Unchained (2012)-love stories of revenge but overly violent and weak on the story
44. #197 Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966)-convoluted but good; feels like A Streetcar Named Desire
45. #38 Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb-I’m a couple decades late to the party; not enough Cold War around for me to get into this one
46. #110 For a Few Dollars More (1965)-I think this suffers from me not liking Westerns or movies devoid of a story
47. #221 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)-it’s good but it can’t be compared to the best of time
48. #66 The Great Dictator (1940)-the only Charlie Chaplin movie worth watching
49. #196 The Hustler (1961)-not a great movie
50. #214 Roman Holiday (1953)-gets a serious knock for being a repeat of It Happened One Night
51. #222 IP Man (2008)-too over-the-top for my tastes
52. #88 Some Like It Hot (1959)-not funny and it’s supposed to be a comedy
53. #32 Sunset Blvd. (1950)-Hollywood showing that they are capable of egotistical drivel
