My Top Ten Movies

I've been thinking about this blog entry for a while. It's taken me so long to write probably because it's too hard to determine you Top Ten Movies, but after much soul-searching and thought here is my Top Ten. (Note: Subject to Change)

10."Hot Rod" (2007)


A really hilarious movie that few people know about. This is one of those movies where you don't mind paying $20 for. It's full of dumb humor, which has been referred to as Napoleon Dynamite-type humor. I think it's definetly better.




9."While You Were Sleeping" (1995)



I gotta have one chick-flick in there. And this is probably the best one I can think of. I think this one is subject to change. It's a good hearted movie. I think the movie is saved by the cameo of Joe Jr. Whenever he's on screen the movie just gets better.





8."Dumb And Dumber" (1994)




Ok, who doesn't like this movie? Whenver somebody quotes this movie, it just seems to say to me" Yeah, I'm THAT cool" and then they are instant friends. It's so quotable and hilarious.




7."Hairspray" (2007)




My favorite movie of 2007. Musicals have always been special, but this one blows a lot of them out of the park. It's just a good solid movie.





6."Jurassic Park" (1993)


The one movie I wish I could have seen in theaters, but unfortunately I wasn't 13. :( Amazing movie with beautiful screenplay. Too bad for the butt sequels that had to follow. Oh, by the way. In Jurassic Park III when the T-Rex and Spinosaraus fight, why did the T-Rex lose? I was actually saddened by that. We all love the T-Rex. Oy, anybody who wants to hear my gripe with the 3rd movie just ask.



5."Back To The Future" (1985)



A favorite since I was a kid. The BTTF Series is one of the only solid trilogies in existence. This show led to by cursing problem when I was a kid. (But has since been amended) This show also led to my life long dream of owning a DeLorean.




4.
"Stranger Than Fiction" (2006)


Interesting film with an interesting plot, kind of make you think, but not too much. Brilliantly casted, (especially with Emma Thompson) and good hearted story-line with rich visuals.



3."Casino Royale" (2006)

Ok, now down to action. This is one of those movies I could watch one night and perfectly be fine watching it again. My favorite James Bond played amazingly by Daniel Craig. Plus it has poker which I love.





2.
"My Date With Drew" (2004)



A documentary that few people have heard of. But it's AMAZING! The synopsis is that a joe schmoe has 30 days to get a date with Drew Barrymore. It a amazing show which is all about chasing your dreams.







AND THE #1 MOVIE IS.......





1. "Signs" (2002)




"What??? Are you serious? You like that movie?!?" This is what I usually hear when I tell people that this is the favorite. Prepare yourselves, for I am ready to fight Manfully for this Movie! It's Brilliant, amazing score, amazing casting, with a rich story that you draw more from every time you see it. SO Good! And it scared the Oreo Filling out of me the first time I watched it.
